Filing taxes...

Question: What to do tomorrow?

Response: Finish Deema's taxes.

Finishing Deema's taxes had taken you longer than you'd like. You'd had to amend the last few years after she had discovered (or 'discovered', and you're not sure which bothers you more) a diary of expenses going back a few years, and long arguments about deductions ('Everyday shoes aren't a business expense!') set you back even further.

'Sign here,' you tell Deema the next morning after breakfast, and place another statement in front of her.

'You should be able to forge my signature by now,' she grumbles as she marks her name.

'Nope.'

'Nobody up here cares,' she adds.

'I'm still a registered bookkeeper,' you say. 'I've got my ethics.' You still don't know if you'll renew your registration.

'Bookkeepers can't complete tax returns.'

'Bookkeepers who aren't also accountants can't provide it as a service. And you're not paying me. This is just your apprentice helping you out.'

She mutters something that sounds suspiciously like 'I hate you,' and signs the next statement.

--

You carefully pack Deema's returns into your trusty pack and walk into the town hall.

A tired looking clerk nods vaguely as she half-listens to you explain that you're lodging current and amended returns. She flicks through your stack of papers and lets you know they'll be processed within a few weeks.

Your over-explaining must have alerted her somewhat to your background because before you leave she says, 'There's information on becoming a tax help volunteer on the noticeboard in the foyer.'

--

Before leaving the cottage you had armed yourself with a brush to scrape paint off the rocks. It doesn't have to be a good job, you reason, just enough of a job to interrupt the sigil. Still, remembering the volume of rocks you painted puts you off enough to start near the platform where you can at least take comfort in the sight and smell of the sea.

It's when you're sitting cross-legged in the dirt scrubbing a stone that you hear a sharp whistle and look up. Lex is at the top of the stairs, looking bedraggled and exhausted, and they point to the stone in your hand with a raised eyebrow.

You shrug and wave them over. You're not sure how to communicate 'currently scrubbing sigils.'

'What are you up to?' Lex asks as they squat down next to you.

'Scrubbing the paint off these rocks.'

They take a moment to think that over. 'How did the paint go on?'

'Ah. Me.' Before they can rib you you ask, 'Nice swim?'

'Nope. Fell in.' They don't bother to wring water out. 'That's a lot of rocks,' they say, probably before you can rib them.

'Don't get me started,' you sigh.

was watching this behind the scenes video about this fancy butter business, and they talk about how they rotate people between the various workstations during the day both avoid boredom but also to (hopefully) prevent RSI. literally why is this not the fucking standard in most jobs. Get your office workers on the floor to avoid desk injuries, let packers run phone support midshift to avoid strain/exhaustion, give your customer facing workers a break by letting them break down boxes for a while (personal fave).

A message from a few of the trans staff at Tumblr & Automattic:

We want trans people, and LGBTQ+ people broadly, to feel welcome on Tumblr, in part because we as trans people at Tumblr and Automattic want it to be a space where we ourselves feel included. We want to feel like this is a platform that supports us and fights for our safety. Tumblr is made brighter and more vibrant by your presence, and the LGBTQ+ folks who help run it are fighting all the time for this, for you, internally. 

A few days ago, Matt Mullenweg (the CEO of Automattic, Tumblr’s parent company) responded to a user’s ask about an account suspension in a way that negatively affected Tumblr’s LGBTQ+ community. We believe that Matt's response to this ask and his continued commentary has been unwarranted and harmful. Tumblr staff do not comment on moderation decisions as a matter of policy for a variety of reasons—including the privacy of those involved, and the practicalities of moderating thousands of reports a day. The downside of this policy is that it is very easy for rumors and incorrect information about actions taken by our Trust & Safety team to spread unchecked. Given this, we want to clarify a few different pieces of this situation:

The reality of predstrogen's suspension was not accurately conveyed, and made it seem like we were reaching for opportunities to ban trans feminine people on the platform. This is not the case. The example comment shared in the post linked above does not meet our definition of a realistic threat of violence, and was not the deciding factor in the account suspension.

Matt thereafter failed to recognize the harm to the community as a result of this suspension. Matt does not speak on behalf of the LGBTQ+ people who help run Tumblr or Automattic, and we were not consulted in the construction of a response to these events.

Last year, the "mature" and "sexual themes" community labels were erroneously applied to some users' posts. An outside team of contractors tasked with applying community labels to posts were responsible for this larger trend of mislabeling trans-related content. When our Trust & Safety team discovered this issue (thanks largely to reports from the community), we removed the contracted team’s ability to apply community labels and added more oversight to ensure it does not happen again. In the Staff post about this, LGBTQ+ staff pushed to be more transparent but were overruled by leadership. The termination of a contractor mentioned in the original ask response was for an unrelated incident which was incorrectly attributed to this case. We regret that the mislabeling ever happened, and the negative impact it has had on the trans community on Tumblr. 

Transition timelines are not against our community guidelines, and weren’t a factor considered by the moderation team when discussing suspensions and subsequent appeals. We do not take action against content that is related to transitioning or trans bodies unless it includes violations of the Community Guidelines.

When it comes to the experience of trans folks on Tumblr encountering transphobic content, and interacting with bigoted users, we understand and share your frustrations. Tumblr’s policies, and Automattic’s policies, are written to ensure freedom of speech and expression. We prohibit harassment as defined in our Community Guidelines, but we know that this policy falls short of protecting users from the wider scope of harmful speech often used against LGBTQ+ and other marginalized people.

Going forward, Tumblr is taking the following actions:

Prioritizing anti-harassment features that will empower users to more effectively protect themselves from harassment.

Building more internal tooling for us as Staff to proactively identify and mitigate instances of harassment.

Reviewing which of the tags frequently used by the trans community are blocked, and working to make them available next week.

We’re sorry for how this all transpired, and we’re actively fighting to make our voices heard more and prevent something like this from happening again in the future. We know firsthand that having to deal with situations like this as a Tumblr user is difficult, particularly as a member of an already frequently targeted and harassed community. We know it will take time to regain your trust, and we’re going to put in the work to rebuild it.

We appreciate the space we have been given to express our concerns and dissent, and we are thankful that Matt’s (and Automattic’s) strong commitment to freedom of expression has facilitated it.

We will continue to fight to make Tumblr safe for us all.
