URGENT!!! Trans woman just got deported, now in immigration hell.


Hi everyone, I just spent the last few years trying to get asylum in a small eastern european country on the grounds of transphobic persecution. I failed at that, and am now struggling to regain what stability I had there.

The warning I had of my deportation was not enough to do all the necessary immigration paperwork for what comes next. As a result, I now have to retreat to a third party country for a month while I do that paperwork.

In short, I need money for immigration paperwork.

Please don't stop support just because the deportation itself already happened. This is still a crucial period! I am not safe!

In the mid-2000s there was a brief fad in Australian government messaging where they went out of their way to insult the public as much as possible.

This fad eventually died out after the tourism board attempted the same style of messaging in the UK, causing a minor scandal which led to the head of Tourism Australia, Scott Morrison, getting the sack.

The first time we drove past the “don’t drive like a cock” sign, my mum looked at it was immediately SO confused - after all she’s a good semi-conservative Christian woman. My brother and I knew it right away but for the next half hour she guessed literally EVERY other word for cock (don’t drive like a rooster, chicken, hen, chick, bird, fowl, poultry) trying her goddamned hardest to make the sign make sense until my - at the time - eleven year old brother got fed up and yelled COCK at the top of his lungs from the back seat.

My mum was FURIOUS - we weren’t even allowed to say “heck” - until she realised he’d just been telling her what the sign was, and for the rest of the three hour trip our good semi-conservative Christian mother proceeded to amuse herself by muttering “cock” under her breath and giggling like a teenager every time she did.

We still bring it up every now and then. So that particular advertising campaign has been making my family laugh for over a decade.

This one was always my favourite, though:

Anonymous asked:

your art is cringe

murmurlilies answered:

hi! so, funny thing about the term “cringe”… if we’re going strictly by its formal definition, cringing is an inward response to something you personally find embarrassing or discomforting, and is therefore experienced differently from person to person. no situation or piece of art is inherently cringe - you make it cringe by projecting your own dislikes and insecurities onto it.

which is to say, you finding my art cringe is 100% on you, not me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

there's a lot of cultural clashes and misunderstandings inherent whenever a trend jumps language barriers, but it's been really sad seeing people misunderstand the relationship that vtuber model artists have with streamers as a one-off transactional one, especially given that artists usually significantly undervalue the work they do on models under the assumption that they're making a long term partnership

toskarin

the sheer abundance of streamers I've seen buy "cheap" models from an artist only to turn their revenue around for a new one by a different artist, seemingly unaware of why they were able to buy a model (which took potentially weeks of full-time high skill labour to complete) for only a few days' wage is actually painful

especially bad when they ghost the artist, so they have to get the news they've been replaced in the form of a tweet excitedly telling their audience that they've "upgraded"

it's honestly heartbreaking to see an artist who's very clearly excited to make friends with someone from another country and work together, potentially for years, shrugged off and tossed aside because the relationship was understood to be transactional instead of reciprocal by the other party. actually finger-curlingly uncomfortable
