[All Your Faves Hate Autism $peaks!]

Hello all!

On October 1st we had a rule change in our Discord server. After some trouble, we had no choice but to make the Discord a 16+ only Discord. We chose 16 as in the UK, where I, Mod Rowlf is from, it is the age of majority. This means nobody under the age of 16 is able to join. However, those already on the server who are aged between 13 and 16 are able to stay.

Those who are aged 16 or over are now welcome, once again, to join our Discord server! Anyone under the age of 16 who is not already a member of the server but tries to join will not be allowed. This is for safety reasons.

For systems, the age of the body, not who is fronting, must be 16 or over.

Join the YourFaveHatesAutismSpeaks Discord Server!

Check out the YourFaveHatesAutismSpeaks community on Discord - hang out with 113 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

We hope to see you with us!

48hr tumblr blackout proposal

tumblr mobile has seadily become near unusable these past few updates. not just from a user experience perspective (which is important enough in itself) but also from an accessibility perspective.

examples include the new way the image viewer works (if you can call it "working"), the tumblr live button replacing the profile button, and that newly created blogs will be forced to have their main dashboard tab be the 'for you' page.

the demands of the protest would be along the lines of:

• reverse the recent image viewer update
• scrap the new users 'for you' page default setting
• let us turn off tumblr live indefinitely
• increase efforts against spam / porn bots
• make reporting abuse and hate speech as easy as reporting as reporting spam
• let us go nuts show nuts again... for real this time
• commit to improving usability and accessibility, and listening to users!
• (suggestions welcome!)

to protest against these usability issues, and inspired by the recent reddit blackout, i propose a 48 hour blackout (where you don't use tumblr at all). preferably of both mobile and web (since web has problems too) but mobile is the focus here.

I suggest the 48 hours between the 30th of June to the end of the 1st of July.

this marks the end of pride month (for the "queerest place on the internet") and the start of disability month (since accessibility is a massive issue here).

tumblr office is in San Francisco, USA, so the times and dates will be calculated using their time zone (PDT).

you can find out the times and dates for your timezone here.

i can't afford to blaze this post so please spread it around as much as possible! protests only work if significant numbers show up!

[transmascanine]

tumblr rejected the blaze campaigns for this post because they know it would hurt them. let's make this an indefinite blackout - it's the best way to get results.

(so the blackout would be from June 30th onwards)

An Important Message from the Stop That Ninjas

Now that the Hogwarts Legacy game has been released, we wanted to give some clarification on how YFHA$ is going to handle Wizarding World content going forward, both here and in the Discord server.

To be clear: we strongly condemn JKR and the bigoted and imperialist themes present in her work. These concerns are present in the original Harry Potter books/movies, post-canon sources such as Pottermore, and the newer releases such as Fantastic Beasts and Hogwarts Legacy. We stand with the LGBTQ+ and Jewish communities, among others, against these harmful behaviors. If you disagree, you are not welcome in our space.

Now for the housekeeping:

this is so so important to me and mine, and I'm asking you to Do Something so I'll respect your time and keep it brief

in the UK, if 100k sign a a government petition it will be brought to Parliament and debated. y'all know this country is suffering from some 80s-style bigotry right now, and this is one symptom: almost 200k fuckholes have come together to force the government to discuss whether it is 'appropriate' to tell children that queer people exist. this is a big symbolic victory for them. and i am burning with fury.

please, if you're from the UK, sign this counter-petition so they can at least see how much of a minority they are. simply put, the attempt to put these bastards in their place isn't gathering enough steam. there are barely 2000 more signatures now than there were this morning (27th January 2023), and that isn't enough. i refuse to let these people feel even a moment of victory or satisfaction. please help.

Government responded

This response was given on 31 January 2023

Primary schools are not required to teach LGBT content, but can choose to teach it in an age-appropriate way. The Department for Education has no plans to change its advice to schools on this subject.)

(Transcript:

To prepare children for life in modern Britain, pupils need to understand the world in which they are growing up. RSHE is therefore designed to give pupils the knowledge they need to lead happy, safe, and healthy lives and to foster respect for other people and for difference.

The statutory guidance states that all pupils should receive teaching on LGBT content during their school years. Secondary schools should include LGBT content in their teaching. Primary schools are strongly encouraged and enabled, when teaching about different types of family, to include families with same sex parents.

Through these subjects, children will be taught about the importance of respectful relationships and the different types of loving and healthy relationships that exist. This can be done in a way that respects everyone’s views.

The Department for Education has no plans to change its advice to schools on this subject.
