a pinch of awkward

👻🤡🧛‍🦄🥀Blog? Blog.

This is it, my personal stream of conscious nonsense. Things I like, news, art, literature, cinema, video games. I post about horror books and films, I curse. I’m candid. You can ask me to tag something. I currently tag:

blood, spiders, horror

I post very openly and at length about reproductive health, the importance of being pro-choice, and caretaking. Donate to abortion funds here. I’ll also talk your ear off about digital piracy (it’s great and you should do it), and public education in the US. I don’t bite, unless it’s about racist bullshit, and then I definitely will.

I’ll post my actual website once I get the damn thing up!

Tumblr, buddy, listen to me. This is an unprecedented opportunity. You can snap up all of the pie here, and become defacto internet goodguy easy. All you gotta do is… drop the nsfw ban. Unambiguously. Announce that dicks are back on the menu. You want people subscribed the blogs? You want people to actually use your Post+ function? Porn. Let us use it for porn. The youngins aren’t joining this site anyway, you’re not competing with tiktok. The vaguely horny 20-40 demographic though? You can have that. You can have all of that. Think about it.
Do you know how many pinup artists alone are itching to come back to tumblr, but dont because of the unclear, seemingly arbitrary application of your nsfw policy? These are insanely talented people who are practically begging to give you content. For free. But you gotta change the policy. We can’t keep dancing around this. Just think of publicity. The drama. A complete 180. You’d kill it tumblr. You could make it happen. Please.
‘But the app stores–’
Fuck you, the app is hot garbage, revert the site to something that can be viewed on a regular mobile web browser and get rid of all the dashboard sillystring that no one asks for/everyone goes out of their way to circumvent as much as possible.

workingclasshistory:

On this day, 2 July 1951, transgender revolutionary icon Sylvia Rivera, of Puerto Rican and Venezuelan descent, was born in the Bronx, New York (content note: child abuse).
Rejected by her family due to her “effeminate” behaviour Rivera ran away from home aged 11, and was sex trafficked in the Times Square area.
In the 1960s, Rivera became involved in movements against the Vietnam war and for Black liberation, then with the Stonewall rebellion threw herself into the burgeoning gay liberation movement, taking part in activities with the Gay Liberation Front, and later the Gay Activists Alliance.
With her friend Marsha P Johnson and others, she co-founded Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries, a radical group which raised money to rent an apartment to house and support homeless gay and trans young people. Much of the funding was provided by Rivera and Johnson engaging in sex work.
Rivera was a critic of the more middle-class, cis gendered (i.e. not transgender) leadership of much of the gay rights movement, especially when a Gay Rights Bill which was eventually passed in 1986 omitted trans people, commenting: “They have a little backroom deal without inviting Miss Sylvia and some of the other trans activists to this backroom deal with these politicians. The deal was, ‘You take them out, we’ll pass the bill’”.
After the suspected murder of Johnson in 1992, Rivera’s life went “off the rails”, according to her friend, historian Eric Marcus, and she ended up homeless again living on an abandoned pier in Manhattan and drinking heavily. She did get involved in movement again, and in 2001 relaunched STAR, renamed Street Transgender Action Revolutionaries, but she died the following year of liver cancer.
Rivera is today remembered as one of the key activists who “who made sure there was a ’T’ with the ‘LGB…’”.
