like im sorry but i dont like that 'fictional characters are objects' post that acts like caring about the real life implications of how you treat a character is going into a purity spirals or what have you bc like. fandoms can be and are racist about characters of color. it doesnt reallly matter if the character isnt real, if you're racist abt a fictional character that can and does bleed over into real life and it does make fandom spaces actively hostile to actual poc. has anyone else here ever heard of RaceFail this has been going on for years and acting ignorant abt it isnt cute

it doesnt even really matter if op wasnt thinking abt race when they made that post bc if they make an incredibly broad statement like "any sort of 'unpleasant' treatment of a fictional character is ok bc its fictional and it doesnt reflect what kind of person you are in real life" that shuts down any criticism of it as being obsessed with purity optics then they are in fact giving a pass to people being racist, sexist, pedophilic, etc to various characters. people are in fact racist in real life because of fandom and it starts with how they treat characters like that bc it then gives a message to other people in the community what kind of behavior is allowed and who is welcome there (and who is excluded)

it is healing to come onto this blog and see basic respect for diasbility after being in other corners of the fandom and reading the words “snowkit could never be a warrior because he wouldnt know what anything is. he wouldnt even know what a clan is because nobody could explain it to him” said in full seriousness

Im..... That statement is so ableist I cannot even imagine the worldview you'd need to have in order to come up with that.

They really think the only way anyone learns anything is through verbal-speaking-words-noises? No one has ever observed something before? Not even once?

This is beyond touching grass, this person just fell out of the fucking Jurassic Period when all they had was ferns and stegosaurs.

I just...

OH YES. I remember my first day of Society Lessons as a hearing person, where the everything was explained to me. Via Audiobook. FIRST they spoke and said, "you are standing on the ground." It was a life changing revelation, and the world began to spin.

But it did not stop.

THEN they said, "there are fingers on your hands." The sensation of flesh and bone crackling into existence is indescribable, but I did not yet know pain, until they told me, "that hurts." I began screaming immediately.

And yet... it continued.

They explained so much. Chairs. Tables. Walls. The sky. Frogs. Ionizing radiation. Breathing. I was told all of it, in one sitting, and only then did I understand. Only when my ears were bursting with normal hearing knowledges, did they begin... my final test.

A strange wall-chair-finger emerged from the sky-of-the-wall, stood on the ground several times, until it was in front of me. A second one came behind it, this one slimmer. The audiobook gave these things names;

Human. Father. Mother. Door. Walking. It was completely impossible to know what these things were until that very moment.

I watch a human dip a hook into water and produce a fish, and I recall my Society Lessons where they called that "fishing." I am decked in the face by a nefarious hooligan, and I have only the audiobook to thank when I know I have been "punched" by a "bad guy." It was only the magic of verbal-speaking-words-noise that made me understand that there are "other people" and that they "do stuff."

Sometimes, even, in "groups."

Before the Society Lessons Audiobook, I knew nothing. I was pure, innocent, uncorrupted by concepts such as "parents" and "door." I am grateful every day that there is no such concept as "being shown things" or "simple logical reasoning" or "looking."

Blessed be those amongst us who escape the horrors of the Society Lessons Audiobook. I pray that you never learn what anything is. Be free! Free as a bird, which also knows nothing and famously cannot learn. 🤗

DEAF/HOH FOLLOWERS I'm losing my mind do you want me to bump a 'Hearing Disabilities Herb Guide' to the top of my priorities? Something you can use to bludgeon whackadoodles like that. This is ridiculous

Obviously not a MEDICINE guide but like; common causes of hearing disability in clan cats. Accommodations for hearing loss vs congenital deafness. Actual difficulties of not having that sense Clan-by-Clan. Debunking of misconceptions like... not being able to learn APPARENTLY.

It's actually surreal that so many of these fashion 'influencers' market themselves as 'design experts'. Have you ever even built something in your entire life? Read all the Bauhaus coffee table books you may, but architectural and design training is not for people who are not willing to stay up endless nights for years working hard on projects (I have back problems because of it). Stay on your marketing lane rather than being a laughing stock (marketing people are in fact a laughing stock for people who study architecture or any intellectual field and anyone who went to university can confirm this). No, quoting or copypasting Wikipedia articles from Le Corbusier, Mies Van Der Rohe, or Jean Prouvé doesn't make you an expert on the field. I guess art, design, and architecture is a hip thing nowadays for the marketing bunch and their own personal branding, but the fact is that if you really liked those things, you would have actually formally studied them, not make profit out of using them as an outfit accessory.

“I agree with Biden that Congress shouldn’t trade stocks, but should be across all 3 branches. I wrote a bill to ban Pres, VP, Cabinet, senior officials, Congress, Supreme Court Justices and federal judges from both owning and trading individual stocks. One single standard.”

How many people in federal-level politics are millionaires? It’s all a scam, even if you aren’t participating in it. Dark money, very little accountability, PACs, the ability to trade in securities that your own vote can affect. It’s all a scam. I don’t care if you are doing the right thing by your voters as a politician. You’re letting it happen, and it’s a known, visible scam. Fix it.

[streetbadge]

Hey Tumblr,

If you’ve got a band, you DJ, or are a music creator of some kind, I want you to try Streetbadge.com for posting content. There’s no algorithms, and most people will only find your content organically via your custom Streetbadge, but it’s a new, more intimate way of sharing your art locally.

I’ll give 10 free badges to anyone regularly playing gigs, and looking to try something new in their marketing efforts. I’m also looking into creating mini-badges for handing out as marketing material in the future, so I may supply those as well, if you’re interested in being part of a use case study.

Anyway, get in touch! Tell me about what you’ve got going on this year, and maybe Streetbadge can help spread the word.

Talk Soon,

TYWEST01

[adrift-in-thyme]

I find it funny (in a very very sad kind of way) when people talk about getting their fics to be “successful” or how you’ve got to “market yourself” or “solidify your brand” so people in your fandom recognize you

Like you do know this is for fun right? Branding and marketing are for LinkedIn not for picking on your blorbos

[maybe-boys-do-love]

Actually kind of tired of seeing people qualify shows as QL or queer coming-of-age instead of BL when they’re perceived to depict any aspect of the gay experience beyond two guys just falling in love.
