Bend Will Shout

Hello.

Hope this finds you well. Yesterday we in Russia faced a dehumanizing bill proposed by an ultraconservative deputy that, in fact:

1. adds an "assigned gender at birth" field to our birth records

2. forbids to change birth certificates (legal gender change)

3. presumably forbids to change gender in ID cards (it is bound to changes in birth cert)

4. FORCES to change your replaced birth certificates back to gender assigned at birth (and presumably in ID cards by same reason) if you’ve changed it before

5. forbids any trans person to adopt children

6. forbids any trans person to get married

There is some translated info about that law:

And analysis made by lawyers: https://vk.com/wall-41739538_5260 (ru) + machine translation: https://telegra.ph/Machine-translation-of-analysis-of-anti-transgender-bill-made-by-the-project-of-legal-assistance-to-transgender-people-07-15

I’d really appreciate it if you could help us to get international support to stop this bill, for example, tweet about this with the #ProtectRussianTransLives hashtag. There is a petition on change.org: https://www.change.org/p/госдума-отклоните-законопроект-о-запрете-трансгендерным-людям-на-брак-и-усыновление-детей that needs support too.

Please, spread this information.

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

#SaveYourInternet now!

Thanks Again! lol 😆

Rex Goodman taught Strong how to write poetry. Strong’s not half bad, but he writes in literal blood and eats the paper when he’s done.

She stops after she walks in on Merle in a hot pink wig singing the latest pop song in the bathroom

Lup makes wigs out of the crew members’ hair starting after a fireball (not her’s) burned Taako’s hair off one cycle. On one hand it’s very handy to just wear a wig instead of using a glamour spell but on the other, Davenport has to deal with everyone else just deciding they’re all wearing wigs at random (and seeing Merle wearing a long two-toned wig of Lup’s five cycles back)

It's so smooth!!!

It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to work on TAZ animations. I’m stressed out of my gourd at work. But here’s a short one until I can back into the swing of things. Merle is great.
