I Learned From A Video Essay About Deaf Representation In Media That Alexander Graham Bell Was A Racist

I learned from a video essay about deaf representation in media that Alexander Graham Bell was a racist and ableist asshole. he believed in eugenics and changed the education for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.

And he isn't the inventor of the telephone but just the guy who got the patent. b/c society was too classist for an Italian immigrant Antonio Meucci to pay the fee and renew his patent.

QSMP Jaiden fanart in Westley’s coffee pods style.

She got me into QSMP. I kept up with her YouTube videos. but not her streams. wondered "Who's Bobby?". and then a year later, I'm here. and my grades suffered along the way.

I believe this is my first time sharing my "coffee pod" art style to my Tumblr. I usually keep it to my Insta. I draw a circle for the head, then a round-ish open triangle under for the body. Then draw in the hair, the outfit (Sometimes it's the whole outfit. Sometimes it's just the torsos. ), maybe add props. Draw dots as the eyes, add blush, do watercolor splashes here and there. No limbs. just doll-like.

now that i've spammed and am for sure getting fucking banned, i will talk about Matt and why what he did is fucking disgusting and horrendous

many transgender individuals have had safe for work selfies and other pictures of themselves taken down or flagged on account of being nsfw. this is blatant transphobia due to multiple reasons

1. tagging something related to transgender individuals as nsfw when it is clearly sfw helps to perpetuate the bigoted myth that being transgender is a fetish or kink

2. by censoring our existence you are actively preventing us from even trying to defend ourselves from bigotry or attempting to correct stereotypes or harmful misinformation

recently the incidents have crossed the boundary even farther than usual with the banning of predstrogen. she had the thing described above happen to her because it had been mass reported by terfs and other transphobic individuals. after having the photo taken down she made a joke about wishing the ceo of tumblr @photomatt (im for some reason not allowed to tag him anymore) wash in a car crash involving explosions and hammers. he took this joke seriously and decided to do 2 things

1. ban her because he couldn't take a joke amd he couldn't handle having his transphobia called out

2. threatened to call the fbi on her because he couldn't take a joke and couldn't handle being called out

now i don't know if you know this but organizations like the fbi don't particularly have a great history with minorities. so calling them is basically equivalent to Matt walking up to her and shooting her in the face. if the fbi was called it wouldn't be a raid or a peaceful capture, it would be an execution.

and now we move on to what is currently happening. multiple users have been banned for joking about the situation or discussing it and he's attempting to hide evidence of his actions while also lying about what happened. his defensive statements only make him look worse because of his lies and other reasons such as referring to pred as "it" (according to her bio pred uses she/him). this is extreme transphobia and it needs to be pointed out, called out, and discussed. if these things happen we could hopefully see Matt pay for his actions (there's a legitimate legal case against him btw just pointing that out).

anyways im going to be posting this to my cohost and tranfem social accounts because im probably getting banned and i would like what i said here to be preserved.

don't be quiet.

your voice is important in this situation

Hey uhm hot take that shouldn’t be hot:

Traumatizing yourself does not count as awareness for a cause.

Yes, don’t ignore it, but don’t doomscroll and purposely go out of your way to look at literal massacred children or self immolation or other carnage and what-have-you, then do nothing about it except reshare it and gush about how it gave you panic attacks and nightmares for the next week.

You’re not helping. You’re turning a fucking genocide into shock content to fuel your white savior complex.

It could’ve happened to YOU had you been born in the wrong place at the wrong time, too.

Have some respect.

I've been trying to find this post so I can say:
