Nettles’ friends spoke up against this mistreatment. After Eyricka died, we, her friends, had two options: Speak up or remain silent. As cisgender allies we could choose to do our part to ensure Eyricka’s story was shared, or we could do nothing. But true allies are not absent when they are needed most.
Many trans women of color are fighting just to live, and dream of stopping the onslaught of violence in their lives. Among LGBTQ communities, trans people are most susceptible to police violence; trans women in particular are most likely to be killed by hate violence homicides, according to the advocacy organization the Anti-Violence Project.
“Black trans women should never have to live in fear that today will be their last day,” Elle Hearns, a field coordinator at the LGBTQ advocacy organization Get Equal, told AlterNet.“It is a national emergency that we must pay attention to by taking action to support and sustain the lives of trans women who are under attack.”
Trans women of color need us all to listen to their stories when they are alive so that we are not grief-stricken when they are slain. We could all have fewer occasions to shed tears if we followed the lead of trans women of color in the fight to end trans antagonistic violence now. Eyricka, Tamara, Elisha, Shade, Amber, Kandis, Papi, Lamia, Ty, Yazmin, Taja, Penny, Kristina, Keyshia, London, Mercedes, India, K.C. and so many other trans women of color killed deserve more than silence. It takes self-reflection and determined effort to overcome complacency in a society that often treats those who defy rigid cultural norms — like gender nonconforming and transgender people — as unworthy of respect or safety, but it should not have to take a friend’s death to remind us to speak up.
Bioware: hey bethesda check it out *weird facial animations*
Bethesda: pfft that’s nothing bioware, how about this? *npc swimming down staircase*
Bioware: oh it’s on now *character walking in midair*

Bethesda: *npc stuck inside the floor*
Bioware: *pixilates textures of major plot animations*

Some Nerd: THERE ARE ONLY TOW GENEDERRRERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Official D&D 5E Player’s Handbook:
“You don’t need to be confined to binary notions of sex and gender. The elf god Corelion Larethian is often seen as androgynous, for example, and some elves in the multiverse are made in Corelion’s image. You could also play a female character who presents herself as a man, a man who feels trapped in a female body, or a bearded female dwarf who hates being mistaken for a male. Likewise, your character’s sexual orientation is for you to decide.”
people say the animorphs covers are *creepy* but the actual in book transformations are all like ‘then her face cracked in two, her organs melted, her bones all snapped and reformed backwards, and her fingers and toes fused together. she couldnt cry because her tear ducts didnt fucking exist anymore. everyone looked at the ground so they wouldnt throw up looking at this’
new art challenge: Re-draw Animorphs covers based of the books description.
According to Christianity, the bible is the word of God.
So, not only God has made a fan fiction of his own creation, the guy’s so vain that he also put in his own self-insert gary stu Jesus as the main character.
Yes but a lot of people feel this is canon
You are totally forgetting that this was written after a bad break up, all that Lucifer/Satan stuff that is God throwing shade without outright saying that he was dumped.
Still, the die hard nerds to this fandom should tune it down a bit. Have you SEEN their conventions? Geez, chill, and club houses EVERYWHERE. And that holier than thou attitude, especially the fan club presidents have.
I mean, I love to throw quotes around from my favorite franchises too, but you gotta know when someone actually cares about how many quotes you can recite.
ask-ghostly-mist replied to your post: I am the bad with words, here to ruin fun! I understand this is a joke, but like, seriously? Did you even -read- the author notes? It wasn’t Lucifer who ended it with God, it was the other way around. That red skank straight wanted His holy powers if you know what I mean, and He wasn’t feeling it. Had cut off the friendship! Lucifer self-inserted his stupid snaek OC first lemme remind everyone. Jesus was just a peaceful and fun way to resolve the intrusion on His fanfic!
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
