we’re about 160% as likely to be murdered as you are to get the clap, & about 4x as likely to be murdered as you are to go to the hospital for the flu. consider… giving a shit about those numbers, maybe. that’d be nice.
Hey there everyone! First of all: I’m backing up every tumblr that will let me.
12/7/2018 is todays date, for referencing this later.
For my legal protection: I NEED YOUR PERMISSION! TO DOWNLOAD YOUR BLOG FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES. I can get in a *lot* of trouble for pulling this much data *without your permission*.
With that in mind: I’ve got a google form that’s going to let me back up your data. Fill this out please? I’ve had less than 20 blogs ask for this.
Who can I back up? EVERYONE! ANYONE!. EVERYTHING WE CAN.
What can I back up: Everything that’s *published* on your tumblr. Drafts, asks unanswered, messages, communications between people that are behind a login screen, I can’t scrape. I’m using the tumblr python .utills scrape.
How much space do I have? ENOUGH. I’ve got 4tb now, and I’m compressing files and moving them onto it as we speak. I’ve got the capacity to do 5 blogs at a time. If you visit my paypal or ko-fi, I can get more storage for us.
It takes me eighty nine seconds to backup a blog with less than 5k posts. Seriously guys. Sides, mains, if you’ve got your content on it, I want to back it up.
If you include an email, when I have a chance, I’ll send you an archived copy of your blog. It will likely be a dropbox file, or a github file, behind a password.
Please: Reblog this and tag your people. The more eyes on this the better.
ANY TUMBLR IS WELCOME TO ASK FOR THIS.
Please. Even if it’s just in case. I need you to ask before I can download your blog.
And a side note: For *fucks* sakes my title was *not supposed to be prophetic*.
“Our side concocted the ‘bathroom safety’ male predator argument as a way to avoid an uncomfortable battle over LGBT ideology, and still fire up people’s emotions.”
COLOUR ME FUCKING SURPRISED
I want people, in particular cis people, to read this and understand what it means.
It means that these groups, these organizations, are so Hellbent on getting trans people outlawed, hurt, and killed, that they will openly lie and admit to lying to stir up emotions. They have no qualms with actively lying and distorting reality.
They have no qualms about misleading people. Actively lying to people.
They don’t care how immoral their actions may be, how much their rhetoric flies in the face of reality, as long as it reaches their end goal of the destruction of “transgender ideology.”
MassResistance and all their ilk want us dead, and should never be trusted, not even for the most trivial of matters. They should be rejected, reviled, despised, because nothing they do is in service of anything but hatred and evil.
And in case anyone actually doubts this, and wants to cry “fake news,” here’s MR’s actual article. Should it get deleted, here’s an archived version. Some choice bits under the cut, if you want to see how vile these people really are.
Two things I’d like people to pay particular attention to:
What these safety concerns were fabricated as a proxy for—not genuine (but harder to argue) concerns but utter rejection of the “ideology” of “mentally dysfunctional men wearing dresses”.
Their enemy is not (just) trans people but “the LGBT lobby”; i.e. any and all LGBT/queer people.
TERFs, and others that align with these people (or are happy to use their arguments), may be happy to present themselves as representing women and/or lesbians, but it is evident that they do not have their interests at heart.
New post for me to reblog and keep track of the books I’ve read each month! New books are in italics, and there will be also a brief review of new books in the tags. (block the tag ‘#danny reads’ if you don’t want to scroll for about a year as the month goes on and the posts get longer. trust me on this.)
Collection : Karen and Robert Duncan- Lincoln, Nebraska, USA
This piece was inspired by the artist’s personal experience of grinding his teeth as a result of stress; but the work is also a monument to the collective experience of contemporary urban life. The artist went to a clinic in Havana and took the molds of teeth of several anonymous people; he reproduced those teeth in bronze and conjoined the molds in a linear fashion. The bronze teeth bear the weight of each 500 pound concrete block. The sculpture symbolically uses the notion of gravity, material and its weight to create the sculpture and the idea of burden; it also examines the meaning of teeth as an important part of the body used to establish identification or the identity of a person.
I don’t like this and it makes me uncomfortable but I also think it’s important to look at.
