Jordana LeSesne (1.8.7) is a Black trans woman. She is widely regarded as the top drum and bass producer in the world. Without her, we wouldn’t have electronic music as we know it today.
She came out in 1998 and went on to get a contract with the Syfy Channel, be profiled in Rolling Stone, and have several albums chart in the Top 25.
She also mixed the original music for the FREE Cece documentary!
Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.
I hate this with all my heart, the drawing example, and the thing I'm about to whine about >:( I'm not one to talk about problems, but I'm really annoyed with how normalized this is
is it not a big deal???? Because I disagree.
It's not just about Eddie and Wally and stuff, but I'm using him as an example. So many fictional men who are simply existing are turned into buff tall gigachad men, AND IT'S BODY SHAMEING!?! Their changing them to make them look "better," obviously implying their not perfect enough as they are. It's frustrating! if people did this kinda stuff to more soft female characters. They would have people pointing it out, but I never see that with male characters? It's a huge problem, and nobody really seems to care? I'm sorry it just gets under my skin. If you're changing a fluffy character to be a buff "perfect" man then you never liked the character for who he was in the first place.
Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.
