Pls reblog if u vote :)
You gonna do anything or make any statement about the rampant transmisogyny on this hellsite, especially in cases like predstrogen recently? Or yall gonna stay silent and keep letting/making us get pushed off of it.
I have a number of asks about this, so this is to address all of them, I won't do each individually.
We generally do not comment on individual cases, but because there seems to be mass misinformation around this, I will make an exception and comment on predstrogen.
First, Tumblr has a number of LGBT+ including trans people on staff, and they see things from the inside fully, and they're not protesting this case.
Why do we wrongly have a transphobe reputation? We did have an external contract moderator last year that was making transphobic moderation (and also selling moderation, criminally). As soon as we were aware that person was fired, and we later terminated the entire relationship with that contracting firm and have brought almost everything in-house (at great cost). I have previously commented on this publicly, several times.
I am not aware of any Automattician (people who work at Automattic and Tumblr) who has made any transphobic moderation actions. If it's reported it is investigated immediately, if anything were found that person would be terminated for cause immediately.
In predstrogen's case in addition to some mistagged sexually explicit posts, which on its own wouldn't be that bad, we have documented cases of harassment. Most importantly, and why they are banned from Tumblr for life, is they made threats of violence against Tumblr staff.
That is never okay. Threats of violence is not protected speech. We will work with police and FBI where appropriate. I just got a death threat yesterday from someone mad about predstrogen, and that account was immediately terminated.
So regardless of whether you still think Tumblr staff is somehow a bunch of transphobes, know that threats of violence or death are still not acceptable and will result in immediate and serious action. Know that when you rile people up, they can do dumb things with possibly permanent consequences.
reblog to teleport your mutuals to a massive party when jkr dies
Worse than Elon.
CEO of a less popular website. Treats trans women so poorly that he's direct messaging them and is threatening violent actions and calling law enforcement when all a friend of mine wants is... To have her transition timeline online in a spot she felt she could be seen and connect to people. Utter rancid dogshit of a human being. Petty. Pathetic. Spineless. All this when there has been fire under his ass for this behavior before. Erasing years of pictures and art and a whole person from her online life is sickening.
CAST CAST CAST!

TABLET/IPAD WALLPAPERS
I found the tablet version of this wallpaper. This can also fit as a desktop wallpaper.
So like I understand the need to free up usernames that were taken and then never used again, but what about accounts of people who died ?
Its unclear if the criteria for an inactive account’s deletion is both “No log in for years AND zero tweets made by the account as a whole,aka empty accounts”
It could very well be “No login for years and zero tweets made during this inactivity”
Which would sucks cuz theres a lot of cool stuff made from accounts who are inactive, and again, all that some families have left from their deceased loved ones is an inactive twitter account.
Back in 2019,this concern was brought up, and Twitter said they wouldnt delete accounts to free up names without making it possible to memorialize accounts of a deceased person first.
Now, Under Elon, i dont know if it will be made.
So if you know an inactive account you really loved.. make sure to save its tweets into the wayback machine, take screenshots, etc.
Just in case.
Also they dont even specify how many years. We’re left in total darkness regarding questions we have.
Also hey maybe if enough people Ask Elon about not deleting inactive accounts who do have content in them maybe hell only delete accounts who are empty ??
hello this is my favorite post ever and also life goals
No because that makes me genuinely mad 😡
Interesting Present Mic's quirk analysis! :D
Been thinking about Present Mic's Quirk a lot lately and I actually found some evidence to suggest that his Quirk is a lot different from how we normally think about it.
His Quirk is listed as an Emitter type and a lot of people seem to portray it as him simply being able to amplify his voice or make sounds with his mouth that create shockwaves to attack his enemies. Very similar to someone like Black Canary of DC Comics fame. But the thing is, I don't think that his Quirk really has to do specifically with shockwaves, and I don't think that his Quirk works with just any old type of sound that he could potentially make with his mouth.
His Quirk is called "Voice." Rather than thinking of his Quirk as an amplification Quirk that makes his natural voice louder, I think his voice is his actual Quirk, and I think he can adjust the output of his voice in both directions: both low volume and high volume. It's just that speaking at a volume quiet enough that a normal person can't hear it isn't useful for attacking villains, so we only see him using his Quirk to be loud.
But the name of his Quirk isn't the only evidence I have for this theory. There's also the fact that he was born with his Quirk. As a general rule, Quirks tend to manifest at the age of 5 in most children and the only time you really see exceptions to this rule are with mutant or mutation type Quirks. For instance, Ojiro and Iida both have mutant type Quirks. They were given extra body parts by their Quirks and they've had these extra body parts since birth, even if they didn't know how to properly utilize them (Ojiro's tail and Iida's engines, for example).
Mutation Quirks aren't exactly the same, but they're similar. Mutation Quirks are often extremely powerful Quirks caused by gene mutation. They seem to manifest out of nowhere and are usually Quirks that aren't passed down to them from their parents like other Quirks are. Mutation Quirks sometimes manifest earlier than 5, such as Eri manifesting her Quirk between the ages of 2 and 3. This is also the case for the glowing baby, who had the first Quirk ever due to some kind of gene mutation and had glowing skin from birth.
Hizashi has had his Quirk since birth, and it's stated in the introduction of his Quirk that he made the ears of his parents and the hospital doctors bleed with his first cry. If his parents had similar Quirks to him, wouldn't they have anticipated something like that and been able to wear noise-cancelling headphones or something similar?
Just to use Black Canary for comparison again, she can mimic sounds and she primarily creates shockwaves by screaming or whistling. Most people portray this as being the same for Hizashi, but we just don't have any evidence to support the idea that he can mimic sounds or that he can whistle to create shockwaves. We've seen him whistle in canon before but never while using his Quirk at the same time. In fact, the majority of the time that he's using his Quirk, he's talking while doing it. Talking at extremely high volumes rather than simply yelling or screaming
One of the only times this pattern is broken is during the war arc, where he does actually just scream to break all the Nomu tanks. But even at that, him yelling and screaming still utilizes his vocal cords whereas something like whistling does not.
The last bit of evidence that I have for this theory is the fact that in Vigilantes, it's shown that Aizawa can use Erasure to silence Hizashi's voice. No, he's not just canceling out any volume amplification, he's LITERALLY erasing Hizashi's whole voice.
Hizashi was speaking at a normal volume in this panel, but his voice gives out entirely while Aizawa in the next panel over has his hair floating, the tell-tale sign of his Quirk--as well as a smug grin on his face.
This would suggest that, like mutation Quirks (such as Ojiro's tail and Iida's engines), Aizawa can erase the function of Hizashi's Quirk even though the body part is still there. Meaning that Aizawa erased the function of his vocal cords, though the vocal cords stay intact. If Hizashi's Quirk was simply that he could make his voice louder, then Aizawa would only be able to cancel out the volume but not necessarily Hizashi's voice as a whole.
So, I think "Quirk: Voice" should be taken literally! I think that Hizashi's voice IS his Quirk and that he has crazy control over his vocal capacity with both the ability to make his voice loud enough to shatter eardrums and quiet enough that the normal human ear couldn't hear it. The latter ability could certainly have its own uses. This also might lend to the possibility that if he can change the volume of his voice, he might be able to change pitch, tone, and other aspects of his voice with ease. He might be able to mimic other people's voices or change the sound of his voice at will! Wouldn't that be an interesting piece of information, especially in regards to a young student who just got moved to the hero course...?
