Brianna Ghey was a 16 year old trans girl who was murdered on Saturday 11 February 2023 in the UK.

and as you can imagine, there are some dickheads who are dismissing this tragedy, cheering on this crime, and celebrating at this loss of life BECAUSE Brianna was trans.

this is what transphobia leads to. this is what happens when irrational hate for trans people, because these bigots seem to forget that we are PEOPLE, remains prevalent in wider society. this is what happens when the basic human right to live as happily and healthily as possible is discarded and overstepped for the sake of remaining in the repressive and oppressive status quo that benefits no one but the privileged.

you lose the ability to see other people as people. you lose your humanity, all for a moment of feeling superior over someone whose life is different to your own.

you can donate to a verified gofundme for Brianna's family here

but to every bastard who doesn't see an issue with her murder because she was trans, i hope you choke on a chainsaw.

HEY! . . . If you're reading this, pause a moment. Stop scrolling and look at this. Look at what happened to this girl. It's important - don't dismiss it.

Can’t help but notice every time there’s a black collaborator in gorillaz songs (who isn’t del) there are tons of people who are like “uh idk this song is meh” or “it would be better without the rap” or “this is too poppy and mediocre”

like ,,, I’ve only ever seen this on songs with black collaborators.
especially with the songs with raps in it. the songs could be fucking gold and there are still people who hate it seemingly just because a black person was the main focus of the vocals and not Precious White Baby Damon uwu

A tweet by Nintendo Life captioned "Random: Japanese Parents Are Using Pikmin To Keep Their Children In Line". It is accompanied by a cropped image of the Pikmin 4 box art to show the Blue Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin, Red Pikmin, and Crystal Pikmin.ALT
A reddit post titled "Pikmin 4 changed improved my life and I fucking hate it". The post reads: "Every single time I have something that needs doing that I don’t want to do I just think to myself, “Dandori issue.” Every single time. And it works. Every. Single. Time. The only way I get so much done now is by dreaming of being one of these weird little plant guys. How do I explain that to my parents? My friends, even?! How do I tell them that my sudden drastic increase in productivity is from getting over my Dandori issue?? I just want to go back I don’t want to be a pikmin anymore. I don’t want to hear their little carrying song when I take my laundry out of the machine. How do I unplay pikmin."ALT

We often teach kids to do chores by finding ways to turn them into a game(and also by doing them together and offering positive reinforcement in the form of compliments and encouragement during and after). The thing is, that doesn't just magically stop working once you're an adult. On top of that, way back when most people did hard work in groups, small or large, and we usually talked and sang while doing so, so like, if the only way you can get yourself to do your laundry is to imagine you're a Pikmin or that Master Chief is there cheering you on then imo that's a fantastic coping mechanism that taps into the natural human desire for connection, comradery, and fun that has helped us get through hard work for hundreds of thousands of years.

Fun is not antithetical to hard work. Kill whatever is in your head that thinks suffering is moral and thus hard work must suck for it to count. There's a reason Pokemon Go gets people outside and Pokemon Sleep helps people sleep, it's bcs humans need fun to make life bearable! I know that one post above is a joke but this is like, the opposite of mental illness. It's good, it's normal, do not feel ashamed of Naruto motivating you to brush your teeth.

Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?

Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.

Now, it's just... Social media. That's it. Social media and news sites. And I'm tired of social media and I'm tired of the news.

Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?

ALSO you should consider browsing Virtual Pet List and seeing if there are any pet sites you might be interested in playing. There is a whole genre of browser games right under your nose

Idk I just feel like no one on this website fucking cares about Hispanics. They don’t even care about us enough to mention us or talk about shit that goes on in hispanic countries. Did you know Puerto Rico was experiencing major earthquakes from fracking a few years ago? I didn’t see a single post about it on tumblr. People were making fun of a Puerto Rican song as a fucking Hurricane was hitting Puerto Rico. And that’s only my father’s homeland.

Delgado-Master is absolutely correct, but it's not the website. It's the Anglosphere in general of which Tumblr is a part. It is very common for Hispanic/Latino communities to have their own little pockets on the internet (and in society at large), and for white folk to just never interact with them. If you're outside of these pockets, then you just won't see Hispanic/Latino media, or sometimes even Hispanic/Latino people in general, unless you actively go looking. If you do try to boost what you find there you probably won't find much of an audience. Most non-Hispanic/non-Latino people are... just not interested, if they aren't actively hostile.

This intense segregation is a natural consequence of Britain's and the US's brutal imperialist history and despicable racist attitudes, and won't be fixed unless an active effort is made by non-Hispanic/non-Latino anglophones to boost Hispanic and Latino voices and to celebrate Hispanic and Latino cultures (of which there are many). This might be difficult on Tumblr given how "white" the site is, but... I mean if you're reading this, you can click on @delgado-master's handle and start there. They do a little discoursing but get over it and find some things to reblog.

Tonight I was doing way more discoursing than normal because I was just angry about being ignored about multiple things (one of which is unfortunately discourse), but mostly I talk about Doctor Who, science, and disability and trans activism (which sometimes does also stray into discourse). I do get into a little of everything. I have a post on Gandalf saggy naturals that has an ungodly amount of notes.
