This is the color swatch chart for the Crayola Colors of the World line that came with the Premium Project Paper pack from said line. These are also the same colors found in the crayon, colored pencil, and marker boxes of that line.
always interesting how the same people who when i was a girl insisted that shaving is a personal choice that no one should ever judge you for are now the very same people who, now that i’m not a girl, will fucking RANT about how i and other transmascs/men are gross and lazy for not shaving the neck beard
idk why in the year 2023, just over a year since roe v wade was overturned, we have to explain to ppl why joking about raping trans men and forcibly impregnating them while calling them a slur is not funny and actually is just straight up fucking bigoted.
i wasn’t gonna expand further than this but i am so fucking angry that i don’t really care if it pisses white ppl off.
there is a small minority of white trans women and trans femmes who were or are deeply involved in white supremacist reddit forums and 4chan, who cultivated this extremely specific brand of “humor” that is intentionally abrasive, violent, antisemitic, transphobic, and incredibly sexist. people try to call it “trans femme humor” but it’s not, because none of the trans women or trans femmes in my life would be caught DEAD making these “jokes.” they would be disgusted by them. and yet i see white trans people of all genders here on the internet not just letting it slide but laughing along. because it can’t possibly be that serious, right? it’s just a post on the internet, right?
except the people making these posts are real people. they interact with people in the real world and their bigoted views affect how they treat people. it’s all internet jokes until the person posting takes like this decides to rape a trans man because it doesn’t count as rape if he’s your “oppressor” or bring a gun to a safe space to “protect herself” from black trans people. these are not hypotheticals. these are real scenarios that have happened in my real life.
this isn’t “punching up.” this isn’t “talking about your oppressors.” this is using specific white supremacist rhetoric to lash out at people you hate. your transness does not exempt you from actively participating in white supremacy. you are not being funny. you are being a fucking bigot.
if you see these kinds of posts, report them. if you see your followers or mutuals interacting positively with them, call them the fuck out or cut them off. there is a massive white supremacy problem in the trans community, and it is because people think their transness absolves them. it does not. you are not an ally to people of color or jews if you allow this rhetoric to be normalized.
if you do this shit either stop or die in a fire. there is no other option.

i am so tired of ppl not watching the video and rbing with their ignorant opinions going on abt “dress for your body type” and shit like…. that’s not the point. the point is that almost everything deemed trendy and attractive is awarded these qualities BECAUSE they are worn by tall, skinny and usually white bodies.
if y’all had bothered to watch the video, you would’ve seen the comparison between gigi hadid wearing denim shorts and a regular ass shirt and a normal fat woman wearing the exact same fit, and how drastic the reception was for the latter. it’s the exact same outfit, nothing revolutionary or new, i can’t even call it fashion—denim shorts and a t-shirt. yet the fat woman was mocked relentlessly online and said she looked like a racist, while miss hadid was praised for being a trendsetter and a fashion icon.
and not for nothing but y’all have to shut the fuck up abt dressing for body types. it’s bullshit. women should be able to wear whatever the fuck we desire without needing others’ approval for whether or not our bodies are attractive enough for you to let us get out of the house or post pictures online. the most important thing is that YOU like what you’re wearing and YOU feel confident and comfortable in your outfits and your expression of yourself. wear a long skirt “even if” you’re short. wear 6 inch heels “even if” you’re 6 feet tall. wear crop tops and hot shorts and backless dresses “even if” you’re fat. cover up and take off whatever you want as long as you like what you’re wearing.
watched a “pet peeves” YouTube video by a man and one of them was just “fat women wearing tight clothing”
there are so many posts about ~tumblr is so broken, you can’t find any post on your own blog, it’s impossible, bluhrblub~
I am here to tell you otherwise! it is in fact INCREDIBLY easy to find a post on a blog if you’re on desktop/browser and you know what you’re doing:
url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant. every single post, every single time. in chronological order starting with the most recent post. note: it will not find #croissants or that time you made the typo #croidnssants. for a tag with multiple words, it’s just /tagged/my-croissant and it will show you everything with the exact phrase #my croissant
url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest first
url.tumblr.com/search/croissant isn’t as perfect at finding everything, but it’s generally loads better than the search on mobile. it will find a good array of posts that have the word croissant in them somewhere. could be in the body of the post (op captioned it “look at my croissant”) or in the tags (#man I want a croissant). it won’t necessarily find EVERYTHING like /tagged/ does, but I find it’s still more reliable than search on mobile. you can sometimes even find posts by a specific user by searching their url. also, unlike whatever random assortment tumblr mobile pulls up, it will still show them in a more logically chronological order
url.tumblr.com/day/2020/11/05 will show you every post on the blog from november 5th, 2020, in case you’re taking a break from croissants to look for destiel election memes
url.tumblr.com/archive/ is search paradise. easily go to a particular month and see all posts as thumbnails! search by post type! search by tags but as thumbnails now
url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio will show you every audio post on your blog (you can also filter by other post types). sometimes a little imperfect if you’re looking for a video when the op embedded the video in a text post instead of posting as a video post, etc
url.tumblr.com/archive/tagged/croissant will show you EVERY post on the blog tagged with the specific and exact phrase #croissant, but it will show you them in the archive thumbnail view divided by months. very useful if you’re looking for a specific picture of a croissant that was reblogged 6 months ago and want to be able to scan for it quickly
url.tumblr.com/archive/filter-by/audio/tagged/croissant will show you every audio post tagged with the specific phrase #croissant (you can also filter by photo or text instead, because I don’t know why you have audio posts tagged croissant)
the tag system on desktop tumblr is GENUINELY amazing for searching within a specific blog!
caveat: this assumes a person HAS a desktop theme (or “custom theme”) enabled. a “custom theme” is url.tumblr.com, as opposed to tumblr.com/url. I’ve heard you have to opt-into the former now, when it used to be the default, so not everyone HAS a custom theme where you can use all those neat url tricks.
if the person doesn’t have a “custom theme” enabled, you’re beholden to the search bar. still, I’ve found the search bar on tumblr.com/url is WAY more reliable than search on mobile. for starters, it tends to bring posts up in a sensible order, instead of dredging up random posts from 2013 before anything else
if you’re on mobile, I’m sorry. godspeed and good luck finding anything. (my one tip is that if you’re able to click ON a tag rather than go through the search bar, you’ll have better luck. if your mutual has recently reblogged a post tagged #croissant, you can click #croissant and it’ll bring up everything tagged #croissant just like /tagged/croissant. but if there’s no readily available tag to click on, you have to rely on the mobile search bar and its weird bizarre whims)
url.tumblr.com/tagged/croissant/chrono will bring up EVERY post on the blog tagged with the exact phrase #croissant, but it will show them in reverse order with the oldest first
I’ve been here since 2016 and I didn’t realize this.
James/ Jim McHarris 1952, striking a match on the sole of his shoe, smoking his cigarette and binding his chest.
Born in Mississippi 1924, James transitioned in his early teens and traveled around the country taking various jobs: short order cook, cab driver, gas station attendant, auto mechanic, shipyard worker and preacher. He eventually returned to Mississippi and settled in Kosciusko. In 1954 he was pulled over and arrested, revealing his sex to authorities but they didn’t beleive him. He served 30 days on a women’s prison farm. After his release he left Kosciusko to continuing to live as a man. The story of his life and arrest was featured in Ebony Magazine 1954 where James is quoted as saying “I ain’t done nothing wrong and I ain’t breaking no laws.”
