May I present to you the antithesis to “there are many benefits to being a marine biologist.” The sad rock crew.
I just think it’s really interesting that once I became more visibly Jewish- wearing a tichel or kippah on a daily basis, wearing my hamsa, learning Yiddish- I was immediately faced with (misdirected) transmisogyny- being called transmisogynistic specific slurs, being followed and harrassed off buses, being followed and watched in women’s bathrooms, etc.
It goes to show that transmisogynists and terfs base their ideas on what womanhood is on a white, European, racist, antisemetic, patriarchal caricature of womanhood, and not actual womanhood, which is intrisic to each women, normal or cis.

So you want to talk about racism in the alt music scene?
Okay. Then let’s do something constructive about it.
Note: I personally think looking toward a celebrity / rock star / influencer / fandom BNF for performative allyship is a waste of time. I think there’s a lot of nuance lost in generational and life experience gaps and I’m not going to engage in that conversation.
What I want to do instead is focus on what I can do for myself and my local community to take active steps in making the alt music scene are more inclusive and less racist space. I’m a big believer in building up and supporting your local music scene as much as possible, so the (totally not comprehensive, but def a starting point) list I’ve curated below will reflect those core values I hold for myself.
BROADLY, QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF:
What POC artists are you listening to? Are you buying their albums? Buying their merch? Requesting their songs at your local radio station?
YOUR LOCAL MUSIC SCENE:
When shows return post-pandemic - will you go see any local POC artists?
Are you able to use your contacts to help these artists books shows?
Maybe request the local music club to book certain bands? Show promoters will listen if there seems to be enough interest for them to make money on ticket sales/door fees. (You can usually google your local music venue + booking to try and find this information)
College music stations - if you’re in a college town - there’s a great opportunity to get involved (esp if you’re a student) with helping curate what music gets put in rotation.
Are you able to host a show? House shows are the ULTIMATE music scene DIY - if you’re in a position to offer up your house/space as a venue for bands to come and play, why not make a point to seek out POC artists and have them be part of the line up?
SoFarSounds.com is another great avenue for the house show route.

hetalia is violently antisemitic and racist
i tried to be funny and it backfired miserably
anyways, japanese imperialism is not a thing of the past and still exists today. japanese propaganda is in the little things, and to end it you have to recognize them. stop glorifying the rising sun flag. pay attention to how japanese media treats its korean characters as opposed to the white ones. be on your guard when anyone or anything implies that japan is in any way superior to other asian countries. above all, listen to and support any poc who has been affected by japanese imperialism.

PSA
padawanryan (who some of you may know has been accused of grooming minors) has either been harassing or has been complicit in the harassment of a friend of mine. for her privacy ive edited her username and icon out of the following screenshots. i will be providing relevant context.
this is the first post she made regarding her harassment earlier today. according to her, she did not publicly respond to this ask specifically because it mentioned his account by name, and she wanted to avoid any hate being sent to him. (post from 11:52 am)
here is the second post she made about the harassment she was experiencing. again, she does not mention his username, just explains why she thinks this may be the cause. (post from 12:26pm)
here is the first time she answers any of the harassment, which mentions his username. (post from 4:22pm)
important context for this ask: there is a roughly 5 hour window in which hate would be sent. in this window, the only posts i can find (and the first posts on his blog for the day with the previous post from tuesday at 10:30pm) are from 4:09pm, 3:56pm, and 3:33pm. his blog does not indicate him publicly acknowledging any hate sent to him after this window. this means that whoever is sending this harassment must know about whatever hate he is receiving from him directly.
moving on, that ask also came with screenshots of the conversation between the two of them. here are those screenshots, which include the first conversation they had, where she told him she was unfollowing and he said he understood that shed do that, and last conversation they had, where she asks if he has anything to do with the harassment she is receiving and he accuses her of bullying him.
note: she has mentioned his username exactly once, posting these screenshots in reply to an ask which already mentioned his username, of which she received several, which she avoided answering up until this point specifically because they had his username in them. additionally, she unfollowed him last october, according to the exchange they had.
here is another message from this anon. she has not indicated knowing who this could be.
this is a suspicious message, because generally, people who send anonymous harassment do not consider it to be harassment. as a rule, people dont think of themselves as doing awful things on purpose, especially if they are thinking of it as doing something in support of someone else. its also ironic that this anon would mention that since he never mentioned her, they wouldnt know who to go after, but she never mentioned his username, only getting more specific when the harassment would not stop, and frankly did not say anything identifiable. (posted at 6:33 pm)
tldr: even if he is not the one sending all of these anons, i cannot see any logical way that he is not hugely complicit in these being sent. she did not mention his username nor did she give any specific details that would allow him to be identified until she had received countless messages bringing it up, and posted screenshots proving she tried to settle this privately.
please steer clear of this person

Urgent: Help a Black Trans Household Stay off the Streets!
So our landlord has decided that we can no longer renew our lease at the apartment we live because he wants to do some "renovations" (for context: we have been asking him to fix things around the house for the entire year and he hasn't fixed 90% of the structural issues he said he would take care of before we even moved in last fall)
So now we have to move, and we have to move fast, unless we want to be on the streets. We are all trying to earn enough on our own to move into a new place but it's not happening fast enough and we have 30 days left. Please share our gofundme, and donate if you can, any amount helps
