can u see me? just checking,,

wow, for some reason, less than 4 months after she made her account, my girlfriend got silently banned off Tumblr! thats crazy!

i wonder what my black trans girlfriend did to get herself banned! oh well im sure there was a really good reason for it

this website is a fucking joke.

if you arent furious over this in light of the recent downsizing of tumblr's staff to about 25, then you havent thought yet about how purposeful you have to be to single out a single black trans person for being black and trans out of a userbase accounting for 300 million daily logins.

because of something existential that they dont like about her.

no email or anything by the way. no notice of deletion, she just attempted logging in and couldnt. there is no consistent terms of service to account for this, it is very blatant transmisogynoir for this to have come to pass.

im sure they could come up with some legal bullshit reason to cover themselves, but think about it. 25 staff. thats fewer people than a highschool classroom, as my other partner put it so well, and they still decided hers was the most dangerous blog on tumblr. alright man.

i look like a 5 gum wrapper dude this is sick

what a lovely pair of posts

She went ALL THE WAY DOWN SOUTH 😭

She literally went to the actual ends of the earth to get away from that man 💀

lets hear it for the lesbians woo

THANK YOU I hoped it was clear that it was “elf butch” aka still princely and glamorous and elegant considering Genderbent Marcille & her favorite book man & how I needed the adventurer’s bible to tell which of the canaries were supposed to be men

discussion about right wing radicalisation focuses near-exclusively on men becoming white nationalists but i wonder how it might manifest elsewhere. like, imagine a heavily online subculture of mostly women and they're dedicated to rooting out degeneracy, maintaining a rigid social order, refusing to acknowledge scientific consensus, being violently paranoid of a dehumanised other, adhering to exclusively eurocentric standards of beauty and politically dedicated to exterminating a minority group (possibly one that was already historically targeted for genocide). that'd be fuckin crazy lol

So one of my tweets kinda blew up. :v

This reminds me of the time that a Hungarian doctor called Ignaz Semmelweiss noticed that the bulk of patients in a maternity ward treated by doctors were dying horribly, while the ones treated by nurses were more likely to survive.

He figured out that this was because the doctors were dissecting corpses inbetween delivering babies, while the nurses weren’t, and came up with his controversial “hey, why don’t we all wash our filthy, filthy hands before sticking them in a woman?” theory.

The result, short term, was that the mortality rate on this one maternity ward decreased by a ridiculous amount. They went from “write your will before you come here, because you’re probably gonna die” to “we’re not 100% sure, but you’ll probably live”.

The result, long term, was that Semmelweiss was hated by absolutely everybody, lost his reputation and had his career suffer terribly.

His eventual reward was that eventually people finally started sashimg their hands with soap before operations, history remembers him as a misunderstood hero, and the instinctive angry and defensive reaction so many people give whenconfronted with new ideas that conflict with their established view of the world is now called ‘the Semmelweiss reflex’.

Because some people care more about themselves not being wrong than they do about things in general being right.

couple of notes about Semmelweiss:

sorry, I just always feel like it’s important to add nuance to “those disgusting stupid people in the past were dumb and gross and willfully ignorant!” characterizations of history

these youtube shorts are doing too much

i think that my favourite thing to happen in art history is when a guy made a Lucifer statue that was too hot for church so they commissioned his brother who made an even hotter one
