Okay, but this is actually really important. The media is notoriously bad at reporting science. Like, headdesk awful at it. So whenever you read a news article about a scientific report or study or discovery, go back to the source to see what really happened. Always, always go back to the source.
Hi all! A friend of mine who frequents 4chan has just alerted me that A GROUP OF 4CHAN USERS IN HORSE MASKS WILL BE RUNNING AROUND GRABBING THE ASSES OF COSPLAYERS/ATTENDEES OF FANIME. they will be filming and groping to protest the lack of tolerance for “prank” videos nowadays. their usernames are unknown at this time and while keeping in mind that not everyone sticks to preset genders of cis female & cis male, these idiots are going to decide who’s what on the spot and aim for short feminine people’s asses the most. I’m currently waiting for screenshots of the messages but I’ve seen them myself. Please please please be wary for your friends and yourself and steer clear of a group of at least 5 people in horse masks racing around.
the fact that it exists, mostly
- Me: npcs in games should be more upset that I just barge into their house
- Skyrim npc: get out of my house
- Me: what the fuck

- yo, tumblr has corrected the issue that occurred when they changed the photo & photoset width to 540px:
- images that are 540px no longer resize to 500px then get enlarged to 540px on the dash
- 540px images now display at 540px perfectly!!
- this goes for photosets at 2 x 268px, 3 x 177px width etc
- gap between images is now 4px not 10px
- same almost goes for gifs! 540px gifs still upscale :( but smaller does not!
- also apparently size limit may have decreased to 1.85mb
- tumblr official help page says 1.75mbs so have a play or whatever
- everything still looks crap on the upload screen cause they haven’t updated that but i imagine that will happen at some stage and they won’t tell anyone good job tumblr
- downscaling images looks infinitely better than upscaling images. so even if your 540px graphic is scaled to 500px on themes or userscripted dashs, it still looks v v good honestly
- tumblr reportedly has 30-50 million active users. 59 thousand have downloaded the ‘revert’ script to view the dash at 500px photos
- the more you know
If cafab trans people are wondering what they can do to combat the forces that make virtually any gender expression they do be valued more than what trans women and camab nonbinary people do in the most direct and immediate ways here’s one
Adamantly and relentlessly back up any camab trans people’s gender expressions as valid and cool and fantastic. Adamantly and relentlessly back up any trans woman’s gender expressions as valid and cool and fantastic. Don’t let people get away with bullshit with pushing them out and making them feel unwelcome.
And then, when the camab trans person/trans woman isn’t around? Do that again. When the queer space does its backstabbing gossipy nastiness, talks behind the trans woman and/or camab trans person’s back about them, attacking their expression and their validity, take those fuckers down a notch.
Do not give an inch. Do not laugh at the jokes and show your displeasure.
You might get kicked out of a few spaces. But other spaces will change. Because the complicity of all involved (and silence is complicity) is necessary for them to continue hurting us and pushing us out.
So if you fight that, you can prevent that and then we can enjoy queer and trans spaces more too.
This is the bare fucking minimum that you should be doing in these spaces. The bare, base level, Just Reaches Decent Human Being Maybe, minimum.
So get on that.
Never apologize for your giant dogs getting overexcited, if I get taken down by a 100 pound mass of fluff then that’s how I go.
