Same anon here, u don't have to change it, I was just curious. You do you !😚
Oh okay and thank you for asking
I was scrolling through Tumblr and came across a post of KNOWN PEDOPHILES ON TUMBLR (many of which have or want to rape actual children/minors)
Anyway anyone who is non-black who was vocal about supporting black lives matter better think the next time they erase black men's experiences because black lives matter was cofounded by black people who wanted their families to live in a safer world without getting gunned down for walking down the street. Mothers. Sisters. Wives. Daughters. Brothers. Fathers. Husbands. Sons.
It is not Only The Black Lives We Care About Matter. It is black lives. Black Lives Matter. All of them. Each and every one. Not a single one doesn't matter.
If you refuse to listen to black men talk honestly about their struggles because it doesn't fit your political viewpoint, then *you*, my friend, are indeed just paying lip service every time you utter the words 'black lives matter'.
My life matters.
My dad's life matters.
My nephews' lives matter.
My friends' lives matter.
My exes' lives matter.
So hear us, and stop fucking plugging your ears when we say it doesn't work that way for us.
there have been many cases already international clients dropping their commissions from filipino artists or avoiding commissioning filipino creators altogether, either due to a fear of consequences getting associated with us because of current events or the misguided notion that not supporting us somehow hurts the oppressive government we’re under. lemme address both those issues:
for the first reason, nothing will happen to you, a foreigner, for supporting filipinos. theres nothing to be afraid of, youre not in this country and wont suffer any consequences. many of us, however? we’re afraid. especially artists and creators who rely on commissions to support themselves and their families
for the second reason, you are not hurting our oppressors at all. you are hurting filipinos, majority of which did not want this to happen and are actively speaking out against the looming dictatorship. dropping filipino creators does nothing but hurt us. our inflation rates are predicted to rise, and money is fast becoming an even bigger issue for so so many

I finaly finished,I hope you guyslike it and if I missed anything with the warning please tell me,but overal enjoy!(Edit:who ever requested this fic I hope you like it)
internet friends are kinda like illegally downloaded friends. you don’t get the physical copy but you still get all the great content
(Old ones that are not from fandoms)
got it? good.
yknow ever since people realized tumblr isnt dead and have decided to flock here from twitter and tiktok ive seen a huge influx of people in fandom spaces who dont reblog anything. at all.
like, i used to have an art blog with 340 followers. not a ton but not a small amount either given how this website works with creators. and in my experience back then even the ones who only left likes still reblogged other things or at least posted their own stuff. literally the only empty blogs were clearly bots.
but on this New art blog, i've had so many people with fandom-specific headers and icons with actual usernames as urls and some kind of title or description, but have. Nothing. no posts. all they do is like things. and it's always public, too. their following list and their likes list.
and honestly all it makes me think is that these people are New and also don't know how tumblr works. how likes don't give exposure. not even in a "oh, i know it doesn't give exposure, but i'm still going to reblog anyways" way, but in a genuine honest to god straight up doesn't realize tumblr likes don't work like twitter's.
PLEASE please if you're from tiktok or twitter or whatever please reblog people's art both fandom and original if you like it!! and maybe actually pad out your blog's content in some way so people won't potentially see you as a bot and block you.
REBLOG ARTIST'S WORK. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THEY GET ANY ATTENTION ON THIS WEBSITE OH MY GOD. PLEASE. I BEG of you
