a lot of transmisogynists like to say that the rape- and pedojacketing of trans women is somehow deserved/happening because of their kinkposting, but as a trans woman who doesn’t kinkpost on tumblr I still get rapejacketed so I think it’s more to do with the “trans woman” part

and to be clear: I am always on the side of kinkposting trans women. I will stand with my sisters. Nobody deserves to be treated the way these losers treat us.

every time someone tags this “transphobia” and not “transmisogyny” it summons an involuntary eye roll from me that registers on seismometers worldwide

everybody say thank you black trans women

we don't have to do anything you should be thanking us for not choosing violence every day

it should make you angrier how few black transfems are on this site let alone active

like i feel insane. why do so few people notice this disparity? so many black transfems have fled, deactivated, or been terminated. the few who are left are usually getting targeted by harassment campaigns, denied autonomy, treated as mere scapegoats, and are often forced to stay in this murderously hostile environment for mutual aid reasons. why do we not notice this more???

the pinterest number glitch continues to be hilarious

it really makes me feel like im taking crazy pills when people act like nobody criticize jkr before she went full mask off terf. like what are you fucking talking about

i very vividly remember people criticizing cho chang, the fucking "werewolves = hiv" thing, claiming Dumbledore was always gay on twitter but not putting it in the books at all and still expecting brownie points, hermione being treated like a hysterical idiot for being against slavery, snape's "he actually wanted to fuck harry's mom so it's totally okay that he was horrible to children and also a nazi for the entire series" thing, harry becoming a fucking cop, the banking goblins' entire existence, one of the only black characters in the entire series having the last name "shacklebolt", the scene where it is heavily implied that umbridge gets raped by centaurs and it's treated as comedic and many many more details that im undoubtedly forgetting when i was in highschool. this is not a new thing.

sometimes you trap a male false black widow under a cup in the middle of the night because he was roaming around on your ceiling looking for female spider pheromones and then his harmless dumb ass fell straight onto your bed so you had to contain him because you were tired and wanted to sleep. and sometimes that spider is no longer in that cup the next morning. as haunting as it is his determination is honestly kinda inspiring. chase your dreams little man hope you get spider laid

so, I hadn’t seen him since he escaped from his cup prison the other day (I did, however, find a ridiculously tiny vampire bite mark on my tummy— it did not swell or itch, like I said, he’s harmless), and I came home today to find ants swarming my bathroom. and there he was, following the trail and making a meal of em. He really got his revenge by biting me (pathetically) and then made an effort to prove his worth. I think we’re basically best friends now

Cross my heart and rub my tummy, lick my lips and eat a yummy

everybody wants to rule the world

these days the circus isn't funny and the bread kills you

But it is amazing. It is digital

shell of a person is such an apt description like yeah i feel exactly like that rn

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

Shoutout to people in the notes also mentioning people learning the language, I should've mentioned that really, given that I've been stuck reading German picture books myself while learning German.

when I first moved out to live with roommates, also transfems, I still had a lot of healing to do from my abuser, and I was in a stage where I was starting to conceive of myself as a small and harmless Victim

what this did was make me an awful roommate who could not accept accountability. I had not learned how to apologize without having the apology forcibly extracted from me by my abuser. I had not learned how to accept my shortcomings or take criticism without having them beaten over my head by my abuser

I'm very fortunate I had people in my life who loved me and would be gentle yet direct and firm with me, and who would set firm boundaries with me. I couldn't treat loved ones well if I saw them as adversaries, if I expected them to act like my abuser. I wasn't protecting myself like I thought I was, I was just being a shit roommate

suffering doesn't make you a good person. surviving abuse doesn't mean you can't commit abuse yourself. that belief is actually a great way to ensure that you continue the cycle of abuse that your abuser brought you into. to break the cycle you have to understand yourself as a whole person, neither Victim nor Abuser

controversial statement on tumblr dot com: the women of a marginalized group have it worse than the men of a marginalized group

Also: the racialized people of a marginalized group have it worse worse than the white people of said group

Hey. If people aren't aware, Microsoft admitted they know who you and where you are at all times and will give your info to the police.

They have a Global Device Identifier (GDID) Tracker that functions as a fingerprint for your PC that can surpass VPNs, proxy servers and countries. Although it can't survive a clean reinstall of Windows (it can survive updates), because Microsoft forces you to go to the internet and log in into a Microsoft account, they will be able to get to you.

Microsoft kept it secret and it was only found out when the FBI tracked a hacker thanks to the information Microsoft gave them.

You should be paying attention to this, and possibly consider moving away from Windows. If a government, especially the US government, doesn't like you for some reason, this could be seriously concerning.

This article specifically notes:

Other important quotes:

What has researchers uneasy is everything else the case reveals. Costin Raiu, a well-known malware researcher, asked on the Three Buddy Problem podcast how much of this exists on other platforms, and whether it is linked more permanently to hardware. Matthew Hickey, another security researcher, called Windows “surveillance software”.

Two things back that up:

Here's the complaint filed to the court, the primary source for the case mentioned in the article. You can find mentions of GDID on page 30 of the document or 34 of the PDF.

Thank you @just-call-me-zinnia for finding it!

Tumblr people!! I've figured out a way to delete GDID from your computer!

I also made a PDF version!!

Please do me a favor, reblog for reach!! This went through several days of research and testing!! THANKS

You can get and use windows 11 without logging in with a microsoft account, as of five days ago. I am a local user on my computer. Don't ask me how to do it, because my computer repair guy did it when he reinstalled windows, but there are tutorials out there. Refuse to connect to internet until you're set up and can use the computer freely.

Refusing to connect to the internet doesn't help. You have to open a Command Prompt (Shift+F10) and typing start ms-cxh:localonly (and pressing enter) during installation when you get to the sign in/create stupid ms account screen

Unless there's really really specific reasons to subject yourself to windows, please consider installing linux mint instead.

Revlog to protect someone! ^_^
