Hey, you're doing the best you can with what you have with the state of things as they are. That's admirable. Be kind to yourself

I've been keeping it off my face as much as I can on video, but I'm livid about the TikTok ban.

I have about 100,000 followers on that app. I joined during the pandemic. I was lucky to find a community full of incredible people, many of whom I now consider lifelong friends. Because of the community I found on that app, I found space to experiment with my gender presentation. I was able to come out as nonbinary (to feel SAFE ENOUGH to come out as nonbinary) because of that app.

I've seen a few Tumblr posts in which people gloat they never got into TikTok. Good for you. You won't suffer emotionally, and that makes you feel superior. But if you have no concept of what that app has meant for more than 170,000,000 Americans (that's half of all Americans!), many of whom do not have access to community in physical spaces, kindly sit down.

The ban constitutes the largest mass layoff in American history. We will lose billions of dollars in our domestic economy. Over 7 million small businesses are shuttering because of the ban. You will feel the effect of that whether or not you were on the app. If you can't grasp the significance of that, again: kindly sit down.

The language of the TikTok ban has set a dangerous precedent for the American government to shutter any tech platforms they deem "dangerous" for arbitrary, undisclosed, nebulous reasons. This will affect Americans' ability to organize, spread information, and protest. They have effectively banned our right to assembly in digital spaces. This is the greatest infringement of free speech that has ever occurred in the United States. If you can't grasp the significance of that, either: kindly sit down.

This is bigger than "never falling for the TikTok craze." This is an enormous governmental overreach sanctioned by our own Supreme Court. It's bigger than teens doing silly dances you can sneer at from your smug high horse.

And if you can't grasp that: Kindly. Sit. Down.

If anyone knows what to do about this please let them know, DO NOT ENTERTAIN REPOST ACCOUNTS!! They steal our work and we have to go to the ends of the earth to get it removed.

I know I am not usually active here on tumblr but I am very troubled by a reposter who cropped my Mihawk drawing (that many of you requested) and refuses to take down their post. I simply do not know what to do. Do any one of you have some advice? I can’t do this anymore, I feel pain every time I look at that drawing now and I cry daily, I really want this to stop.

They cropped it, they cropped the drawing. I hate myself for being this weak and stupid and not being able to just let it slide. I am an amateur artist and I just wanted to draw in peace. Please help me, I don’t want to cry myself to sleep again today. This is too painful. Please let it stop.

I tried to call out on Twitter but this person has too many followers, each day they are gaining hundreds more from works they’d taken from other onepiece artists without permission, and they would not take them down. There are people misunderstanding this person as the OG artist.

Please help me.

I feel like I am overreacting, and I know there are many people getting faced with this kind of situation daily, and it will happen as long as internet exist. But I really can’t stop crying, I tried, I tried so hard for days. This work means a lot to me. I was happy when I finished drawing it, and I was so happy when you requested it, I spent a very long time on it, I loved doing it because I thought you would be happy to see it. But I don’t want to see this art like this, I am starting to hate my own works, I am starting to regretting to have ever drawn it, or have started drawing from the first place. I really want this to stop. I can’t, I can’t do this.

Friendly reminder that the United States is the only country to use a system like the electoral collage. Friendly reminder that the system was also founded as a compromise to sate slave owners and allow their slaves 2/3 representation of a free person so that could also influence the number of representatives in congress.

one thing that my therapist told me today is a way to combat hopelessness is to make an intentional plan to do something that brings you joy and excitement. Even if it's something really small like going to get your favorite coffee. Try to be kind to yourself, do something nice for yourself today, give yourself something that brings you even a small amount of joy. You deserve it
