oh shit, it's 3/21/23, 32123, palindrome day
hi everyone, i don't like having to do this as much as you don't like having to see it but my last post lost traction and once again i need to ask for your help.
i'm a disabled south american trans woman and things are rough. my mom is still undergoing cancer treatment and because of my disability and the fact that i'm a trans woman i can only find jobs doing odd gigs.
the cost of living in my country has become absurdly high and it keeps rising, and i don't manage to scratch even a fifth of it, so i come here to you begging and asking for help to at the very least be able to cover my mom's transportation to her oncologist and have a daily meal. once again i apologize for intruding and i thank any and every bit of generosity you could share with me, even in the form of reblogging this post

On April 16th 2025 the US federal government has proposed to change the interpretation of the endangered species act so that it no longer protects habitat.
This is open for public comment until the end of May 19th. Please comment and make your voice heard.
Wildlife need their habitat. If the ESA redefines harm so that habitat is no longer protected, the implications for wildlife would be catastrophic.
this is stupid just take it
i’m so glad earth only has one moon, if there were more i’d have to pick a favorite and that sounds too emotionally taxing to even fathom
HAPPY WIDE WITCH WEDNESDAY
“I’m the Labor Day Fairy and I’m here to teach you the true meaning of collective bargaining.”
Guys, Todaybor Day got shouted out by Puyo Puyo
Today-bor Day-bor is Labor Day-bor
It’s alright, I’ve been in the pits of despair before…I know the feeling. Take all the time you need to rest and recover. Lord knows how long it took for me to drag myself back to my feet after falling so deeply into the dark. You just gotta keep pressing forwards and look for your port in the storm through the mental torrents that is life.
🫂
I’ll link and spread your new KoFi when the time comes, and hope that others will show their support both now and in the future.
Just take solace in knowing that there will always be those that love you, I couldn’t imagine my Tumblr experience without ya being there…You were formative to me actually doing things on this Hell Site.
Hey Did Something Happen? I went to check up on your KoFi link to see the donation progress, and your page isn’t showing up for me.
Was it an error localized on my end cause this is a really poor time for KoFi to play fuck fuck games.
I mean…Your literally suffering internal bleeding of some description, or perhaps something closer to the outside has been rendered so raw as to bleed. (Been there many times)
Either way, you need those donations and I’ve been doing my best to reblog and spread links periodically since I don’t have the cash to donate currently.
I promise I’ll donate as soon as I get a job, hopefully I can at least get something part time at this local Grocery Outlet.
I've been in a VERY bad place mentally as of late. Between my struggles with paying for all those medical bills and just the side effects of my condition (constant discomfort and exhaustion)
So earlier this week in a fit of despair I sorta... gave up and deleted my ko-fi. I almost deleted this blog too, as well as uh... more extreme things
BUT I've been getting help with this stuff and I'm slowly getting back up on my own two feet
I'll make a new ko-fi eventually, but for now I just wanna get my shit together internally
Well said, it’s honestly been amazing seeing so many folks of different stripes get into Gundam as a whole through G-Witch. From watching the other Anime series to actually getting into Gunpla. It’s been wild also being able to share the experience with others, I actually watched through Witch from Mercury in a Voice Call through a Watch Together service so we're all on the same page.
It was honestly magical, and I really hope to do another Gundam Watch Together at some point. Mayhaps with some folks who haven’t watched Witch or Gundam as a whole, maybe with the same Gundam Friends as before.
All in all…I’m quite hopeful about the healthiness of Gundam going forwards!
Tumblr Top Ships Bracket - Semifinals
This poll is a celebration of fandom and fandom history; we're aware that there are certain issues with many of the listed pairings and sources, but they are a part of that history. Please do not take this as an endorsement, and refrain from harassment.
I mean…As a Gundam Fan, this is a no brainer choice. It’s very rare for Gundam…Anything really to pop up in a pop culture/fandom event in general, let alone an event/tournament like this. Most Gundam related tournaments are usually kept within the greater Gundam sphere.
Well…
It’s time for us to go beyond our limited Sphere, and branch out to Other spheres! Beginning here, in the Tumblr Sphere. This is gonna be a regular Earth Drop folks!

Oh dang, I haven't checked up on Tumblr in awhile so I've been making rounds trying to piece back together folks I haven't checked up again in awhile. Sorry for how long it's been since I've lasted popped up. I would've reblogged and boosted far sooner had I known.
I really hope you get your help soon, I've never had something messing with my plumbing like that in years...But I still remember the hospital trips to this day.
Hopefully things will get better, with a little luck and everyone doing what they can to support ya.
Well for those who have been paying attention this won't come as a surprise, but my health has been quickly deteriorating since February
or to put it more blunty I've had the shits for over 2 months now and that has completely fucked my health
We're still trying to figure out what caused this, but there's been no new developments
So that has left me with two options:
I either continue to rely on my country's universe health care system and continue to wait months between tests, and continue to let my physical and mental health go to shit (haha) even longer
OR I talk to a private clinic about this and start paying to get this dealt with as quickly as possible
This donation goal is to help me do the latter, so my life can return to some sense of normality and so I don't need extra cushions to sit at the lunch table anymore
Anything helps at this point. Even if you can't donate just giving this a boost would do wonders
Scotland - Ban Conversion Therapy Consultation
Scotland is currently consulting the public on banning conversion therapy. Unfortunately, it is not going well. The consultation has been brigaded by transphobes and it needs a lot submissions in support.
The Equality Network, who we did the Hollow Knight fundraiser for, has put together a guide on how to fill in the consultation form.
There is nothing in the consultation which limits the scope of who can submit their thoughts.
Please consider filling this in and help push to end conversion therapy in Scotland.
The ACLU has launched a petition against Mastercard’s policies on adult content!
Mastercard put into effect a new policy regulating adult content sellers that makes it extremely hard for sex workers to earn a living online. It must be stopped.
The policy itself imposes strict and invasive requirements on adult content websites using Mastercard’s financial services – including pre-approval of all content before publication, forbidding certain search terms, and monitoring the age and identity verification process for all performers.
Americans sign here!!
everyone forgot about this wholesome video so i dug through the deep files of the internet cause it needs to be seen again
Ok! This is important!
I don't have a big community here on Tumblr, but I do have you guys who know what Matt Mullenweg has done, (and here's some more content on that, and this). So since my poll turnouts came in, I promised to do this.
Sign this petition, and I will repetitively shove it down Tumblr staff's throat when it gets a decent amount of signatures.
I know you may say this won't work, but I've gotten multiple users who support xenosatanism, are transphobic, and harass minors banned by the power of having you guys here to assist shoving it down Tumblr's throat (awh and yet we ain't got @toplayistowin banned yet but oh well).
Since I am apparently 'notorious' (in the #undertale community tags) for being 'problematic' and even being named 'controversial' for simply existing, and I've managed to nuke the ones calling me that, maybe I can shoot and try to help nuke Matt Mullenweg before he helps implement more trans slandering moderation. Also just because what this man has done is downright wrong and he shouldn't be in any position of power.
I don't know how many signatures I need to aim for, but I know we need a decent amount so please help boost this petition anywhere you can.
I promise to do my part and shove it down Tumblr's throat (I am great at doing that), but I need your guys' assistance in both doing that, and getting the signatures in the first place.
Reblog, boost, blaze(?), do whatever. This isn't about notes though, this is about signatures and this is about where the petition is shared to. So share the petition, do anything you can to help out.
Thank you.
A message from a few of the trans staff at Tumblr & Automattic:
We want trans people, and LGBTQ+ people broadly, to feel welcome on Tumblr, in part because we as trans people at Tumblr and Automattic want it to be a space where we ourselves feel included. We want to feel like this is a platform that supports us and fights for our safety. Tumblr is made brighter and more vibrant by your presence, and the LGBTQ+ folks who help run it are fighting all the time for this, for you, internally.
A few days ago, Matt Mullenweg (the CEO of Automattic, Tumblr’s parent company) responded to a user’s ask about an account suspension in a way that negatively affected Tumblr’s LGBTQ+ community. We believe that Matt's response to this ask and his continued commentary has been unwarranted and harmful. Tumblr staff do not comment on moderation decisions as a matter of policy for a variety of reasons—including the privacy of those involved, and the practicalities of moderating thousands of reports a day. The downside of this policy is that it is very easy for rumors and incorrect information about actions taken by our Trust & Safety team to spread unchecked. Given this, we want to clarify a few different pieces of this situation:
The reality of predstrogen's suspension was not accurately conveyed, and made it seem like we were reaching for opportunities to ban trans feminine people on the platform. This is not the case. The example comment shared in the post linked above does not meet our definition of a realistic threat of violence, and was not the deciding factor in the account suspension.
Matt thereafter failed to recognize the harm to the community as a result of this suspension. Matt does not speak on behalf of the LGBTQ+ people who help run Tumblr or Automattic, and we were not consulted in the construction of a response to these events.
Last year, the "mature" and "sexual themes" community labels were erroneously applied to some users' posts. An outside team of contractors tasked with applying community labels to posts were responsible for this larger trend of mislabeling trans-related content. When our Trust & Safety team discovered this issue (thanks largely to reports from the community), we removed the contracted team’s ability to apply community labels and added more oversight to ensure it does not happen again. In the Staff post about this, LGBTQ+ staff pushed to be more transparent but were overruled by leadership. The termination of a contractor mentioned in the original ask response was for an unrelated incident which was incorrectly attributed to this case. We regret that the mislabeling ever happened, and the negative impact it has had on the trans community on Tumblr.
Transition timelines are not against our community guidelines, and weren’t a factor considered by the moderation team when discussing suspensions and subsequent appeals. We do not take action against content that is related to transitioning or trans bodies unless it includes violations of the Community Guidelines.
When it comes to the experience of trans folks on Tumblr encountering transphobic content, and interacting with bigoted users, we understand and share your frustrations. Tumblr’s policies, and Automattic’s policies, are written to ensure freedom of speech and expression. We prohibit harassment as defined in our Community Guidelines, but we know that this policy falls short of protecting users from the wider scope of harmful speech often used against LGBTQ+ and other marginalized people.
Going forward, Tumblr is taking the following actions:
Prioritizing anti-harassment features that will empower users to more effectively protect themselves from harassment.
Building more internal tooling for us as Staff to proactively identify and mitigate instances of harassment.
Reviewing which of the tags frequently used by the trans community are blocked, and working to make them available next week.
We’re sorry for how this all transpired, and we’re actively fighting to make our voices heard more and prevent something like this from happening again in the future. We know firsthand that having to deal with situations like this as a Tumblr user is difficult, particularly as a member of an already frequently targeted and harassed community. We know it will take time to regain your trust, and we’re going to put in the work to rebuild it.
We appreciate the space we have been given to express our concerns and dissent, and we are thankful that Matt’s (and Automattic’s) strong commitment to freedom of expression has facilitated it.
We will continue to fight to make Tumblr safe for us all.

Hi Tumblr!
Local queer trans girl werewolf VTuber weirdo here letting your know that I am approaching nearly 12 Months of being unemployed.
Over the last 12 months I have:
Submitted 3,000+ applications/resumes.
Had 100+ interviews.
Got 1 job that I was constantly misgendered at, and upon informing HR, was then cyber-stalked by my bosses.
Got 1 freelance opportunity who, after two weeks, realized they had hired too many people and then let everyone go who was hired - me included.
Ran out of unemployment, drained my savings, maxed out my credit, and fully lost my insurance.
Unfortunately, even if I got a job RIGHT NOW, I would be unable to pay rent and bills for the foreseeable future.
I am constantly applying for jobs and trying to keep everything above water, but at this point I've become desperate for help.
If you have the ability to donate or contribute, you can use any of these below:
P@yPal: Paypal.me/kdinj Ca$hApp: $KdinJ Kofi: ko-fi.com/kdinjenzen
Additionally, if you have any leads on possible jobs you can feel free to message me as I'm actively applying to everything I can right now.

Of course this accounted got deleted too…But since the links are still there and all. It’s something minor overall, won’t be all that important overall but:
Sorry for the lackluster highlighting and circling effort but I’m on Mobile right now. But there it is, how about we do something to put maybe a small smile on her face. Everyone who has a Steam account likely has enough point to share to get her that x1000 Wild profile Awards.
Last I checked she has x19 Wilds…How about we buff up those numbers a tad? It’s only 300 points a pop.
Of course there’s other more substantial ways of helping her through this time, and I’ll likely edit them in as soon as I can find them…I remember seeing her PayPal link somewhere but Tumblr went down for me before I could copy it and have no idea where that post went to find it again.
Hopefully someone else has it somewhere.
It's Rita. We're done here for now
I'm sure everyone's heard by now that something's happened at least so I'll try keep it short [lie]. This post is a rough explanation and not a defense, if mutuals want to add evidence of what I claim then please do so, I will have a note to friends at the end, feel free to skip to that 🧡🤎
I got terminated on predstrogen due to mass false reports about sexually explicit content, I had evidence of these mass false reports, and when I asked support for help they stated "As you know, you posted sexually explicit content and additionally harrassed people"
My issue isn't with the account termination, it's the double standard around it
I've had multiple accounts. The first (madhopz) was terminated for content on sideblogs when I was doing sex work and I know I won't get it back. The second (sadhopz) was targetted by lolcow forums, and took half a year to get back, only once I humiliated myself to support by screenshotting and documenting what they were saying about me and sharing images of me. The third (predstrogen) I mentioned and I'll get back to, but I was never emailed to explain why the fourth (Avewy/Predesterone) was terminated. All we know is that it was right after the CEO got upset with me, I broke no rules and said no one should attack anyone, I posted no explicit content, none.
A man twice my age and worth $400,000,000 threatened to call the cops on a trans woman online, and then deleted me when I mentioned this
To add insult to injury, he refused to call me "she" the entire time, referring to me as "they" and backpedalling to vaguely refer to me as The Account. I'm a fucking person, and you know that by threatening to pin the cops on me. Eventually even slipping and calling me "it" before respecting the womanhood of the person he would gladly talk about and "make an exception for"
My complaint to his post was that he says I was banned for harrassment, which is a lie. I was banned for mass false reports of sexual content, despite having been told by staff directly a month prior that my blog does not break that rule, and have had people admit to collaborating on reports. But my biggest issue is that even if I was banned for harrassment, then what did they do about my own harrassment?
They did fuck all and told me my stalkers should not be removed from Tumblr
After banning me without a reason, I immediately got an email back about harrassment and stalking that I sent a support ticket about in December. They banned me twice before looking into this, and their conclusion was "we won't do a thing". These are people who have been on my ass all of last fucking year calling me a rapist and a pedophile, and they ignored it. Does that sound like a man who cares about harrassment on his site, or only when it happens to him?
After the ban on Predstrogen and I moved to Avewy, they were everywhere. Inbox messages claiming I was sending asks to children threatening to rape them, anonymous people stating they're our victim and are scared to speak out about what I did to them. It all only happened now. They've turned a blind eye and given these people a win. I saved it all in an #archive tag as proof if I was ever asked or got through to support, but that didn't happen when i was terminated without warning or reason
When Matt deleted me himself, he deleted everything I posted and saved as evidence for my situation. Anonymous asks slandering me, reblogs of people organising to get rid of me, my own documentation of what staff did, all of it was deleted with @avewy/@predesterone.
I don't want to be on this site anymore, I was happy all day today because I feel free without it. But I miss my accounts, because of all the memories with them. I don't want to use them, but I want @madhopz, @predstrogen, and @predesterone back so that all the times ive had with friends, lovers and strangers arent completely eradicated. Every single thing uploaded to Predstrogen is gone and marked mature now, even my face and identity, because this was a sexual content ban and not harrassment as they say. They found another reason after the fact
Give me my identity and my memories back
To all my friends and mutuals, thank you. Even people I've had falling-outs with have been nothing but kind and I want everyone to know I appreciate it. I saw every ask before deletion, I see how many people are on Discord. I can't keep up, but knowing you reached out at all means the world to me
I was happier today off this site than I have been in months. I'm not driving myself to breakdowns anymore by being on here, my mental and emotional state has been in ruins. Maybe I'll come back on this account, but for now I'm leaving it blank and still and moving on.
This post is incredibly meandering and too long, but I'm not trying to defend myself or document everything, I'm trying to make sure I say something to people I care for instead of disappearing, you deserve it. I'm doing well, please find me elsewhere.
My Twitter is mAD_h0PZ
My Cohost is Predstrogen
My BlueSky is predstrogen.bsky.social
My discord is Avewy, and my server is Public
My steam is mAD_hOPZ
Goodnight, thank you 🧡🤎

Getting Word Out for a Homeless Friend In Need
My friend Infamous-Verdesause is in desperate need right now due to being homeless and I will never forgive myself if we lose her forever! She is over $2,000.00 USD in debt with no food due to her no-good family abusing her and wrecking her life. Pitch in what you can if you can or even commission her for writing and Koikatsu! works as well as spread the enclosed links around so she doesn't have to starve or even die. You want NSFW writing commissions, my friend has an ironclad policy of no kink shaming…
Please note that ANY ATTEMPTS to take advantage of our desperation for paying off the expenses will be reported to the proper authorities for prosecution! Don't test me or her… but if you have a heart, use it to save the life of a fellow human being trying to survive. Even just $80.00 USD for Wi-Fi or $200.00 for rent can help.
