Volkswagen Golf Harlequin (Harlekin), 1996. Originally created as a show car in 1995, the Harlekin was produced as a special edition model. It featured one single base colour with four swapped multi-colour body panels that always appeared in a specific order – a car with a certain base colour always had a certain-coloured front passenger door and hood. The series had four base colours: Pistachio Green, Ginster Yellow, Tornado Red and Chagall Blue. The cars were produced finished completely in green, yellow, green, red and blue before the body parts were swapped around. In total 3100 were made including 280 for the US market

Types of cis bigots I am quite tired of (a bit of a rant, this)

[warning for cissexism]

The Fundiegelical: “You may think you’re ‘happy’ by wearing the clothing of the opposite sex, but you’re living in sin and you’re going straight to hell! Jesus loves you.”

The “Enlightened” Liberal: “But gender doesn’t even matter, because deep down, we’re all the same. So why is it such a big deal what I call you?”

The TERF: “By embracing a gender role opposite your assigned sex, you are reifying gender/privilege and thus making it that much harder for us to smash gender. I know that sounds contradictory but, if you’d been a feminist for as long as I have, you’d understand.”

The Proto-TERF: “Of course I don’t have anything against trans people, but abortion/sex work/breast cancer/ovarian cancer/whatever is and has always been a women’s issue! Why do you want to take it away from women?”

The Ungendering Fetishist: “Hey, I don’t have anything against sh*m*les! I think you’re hot! I watch sh*m*le porn all the time.”

The Clueless Oppression-Olympian: “Transness is just a white/abled/Western issue, so why should I care about it?”

The Incrementalist: “Look, people just aren’t ready to accept trans folks yet. So instead of arguing about what pronouns to use for you, we should focus on something we can actually accomplish, like [insert other tenuously-related SJ cause here].”

The Genital-Focused: “I totally respect and support trans people, but I would never date one. Because ewww.”

The Broad-Stroke Painter: “I once met a trans person who was selfish/mean/creepy/bad in general, so you’re all like that and I won’t respect any of you.”

The Inveterate Essentialist: “But… you can’t be a woman, because you have a PENIS! And chromosomes! And… a PENIS!”

The What-About-Teh-Cis Whiner: “I know my refusal to call you ‘she’ hurts you, but you have to understand that your demand to call you ‘she’ hurts me, too. What about my feelings?”

The Pig-Headed “Skeptic”: “Do you have actual evidence that you’re really a woman? No, of course you don’t, because it’s impossible by definition. No, shut up; I’m right and you’re wrong, PERIOD.”

The “Free Speech” Whiner: “Don’t you think that, in the spirit of free and open discussion, you should listen to my side of things instead of just dismissing it out of hand as ‘bigotry’?”

The Devil’s Advocate: “I’m not saying prejudice is right, but, to be fair, it is a little weird for someone to present as a woman and yet have a penis.”

The Self-Proclaimed “Ally”: “How dare you say I’ve been cissexist? Don’t you know how very supportive I’ve been of you and your causes? Why aren’t you grateful?”

The “Edgy” Comedian: “Look, it was a joke. I’m sorry you’re too unsophisticated to understand why it’s funny; I guess I’m just too edgy for you. Maybe one day, when you grow up a little, you’ll stop trying to censor humor.”

(Hint to cis people: don’t do any of these things.)

okay but yknow what.

narcissist, sociopath, and ps/chopath are ableist language. “narcissistic abuse” is ableist language. “sociopathic/ps*chopathic” is ableist language. talking about someone “lacking empathy” and how it makes them bad is ableist language.

armchair diagnosing horrible people like hitler or trump with NPD or ASPD is ableist. armchair diagnosing abusers with NPD or ASPD is ableist. refusing to interact with people who have NPD or ASPD is ableist. implying all people with NPD or ASPD are inherently bad is ableist. writing only antagonists or shitty characters with NPD or ASPD is ableist. writing characters, especially bad ones, as ‘sociopaths’ or ‘ps/chopaths’ is ableist.

these are some of the most stigmatised disorders on earth. using these terms, doing this shit, is just as ableist as calling people psycho, or bipolar, or ‘ocd’. stop making excuses and trying to find loopholes to let you call people these terms. and don’t you fucking dare claim to support mentally ill people and then perpetuate stigma against these disorders, especially if you yourself are mentally ill. mental health isn’t a pick and mix, you can’t choose what to support and what to stigmatise. you either support us all, or you support none of us.

For years, this has frustrated Ellen Buchanan Weiss, whose toddler son is mixed race. She’s tried searching for photographs online to reference conditions such as chicken pox and hives, but tells me that “even adding the qualifier ‘chicken pox on black child’ yields mostly Caucasian examples.” Recently, she decided to do something to help other parents facing similar barriers, and began collecting photos on her own. Her project Brown Skin Matters is an Instagram account filled with reference images of dermatological conditions on non-white skin. You can see what ant bites can look like on a child who is Hispanic and black. Or how the viral illness Fifths disease can manifest in a child who is black and white.

From the photos, it’s clear that conditions look different on different skin tones. On a post featuring a black child with chicken pox, one person commented: “Thank you! My mom (white) always said she wasn’t sure if we’d actually had chicken pox because they didn’t look how she expected. But the pediatrician said we did.”

While Weiss is not a medical professional, she is working with physicians to review the viewer-submitted photos. She emphasizes that the information on Brown Skin Matters is for educational and reference purposes only, and not a diagnosis. “I’m just a regular person who dearly loves her son and wants equitable representation and resources available to him and other people who look like him,” Weiss says.

Just take it-

i feel like we talk a lot about how idolising celebrities is bad but i think there’s a bigger issue with idolising strangers online. we’re all aware of instagram influencers and the harm they can be but i feel as if people think there isn’t that kind of attitude on tumblr. the social media sites i spend the most time on are here and twitter and there’s still DEFINITELY a glorification of people with big followings. just because they’re not A Celebrity or selling detox teas doesn’t mean they’re not looked up to and the things they say or do don’t have an influence. like. even if someone is just a cool blogger we shouldn’t be putting anyone on a pedestal.
