Important if you want to keep following!

Overalloverwhelming will now become andnamelessthings! If you want to keep following me, and weren’t following the “streethearts” blog anyway, please add that one.

Backstory, because I can never do things with few words: I first came to Tumblr when I started noticing hearts being posted and drawn in a lot of places and wanted to share pictures of them. So my default blog became “streethearts”, and at some point I started this one to have a place where I could put other things. I got bored with streethearts fairly soon, but had already posted too much here to feel good about switching.

However, by now I’m just sick of my default blog not being the one I actually use (WHY, tumblr, is there no way of changing that?), so I decided to rename streethearts and migrate back there.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

That’s an April Fools thing, right? Please?

*googles* Ok, yeah, satire, thank goodness, but the fact that it’s the phrasing more than the content that threw me off speaks for itself. HOW is this guy still legitimately running for office instead of being laughed (or, as with the n-word incident the other day, booed) out of the room every time he opens his mouth?  How are there people who think this shit makes any kind of sense? I kind of want to invite all of them over to Germany* for a few days and be like “Here, let me show you how reproductive rights, gay civil unions, universal health care, gun control, legalized sex work, and social welfare ‘ruin’ a country.” Not that I think they’d get it.

*Disclaimer: I’m aware - and regularly experience firsthand - that not everything is sunshine and rainbows over here, either, and I could write essays over all the things wrong with our government and our society. But compared to the US? This is practically paradise.

The above article is an update.  Her mother went to appeal to keep her out of the psychiatric ward and lost.  She will be institutionalized because of her expression of her gender.  She will be held until she conforms to male gender and then released to foster care, not her mother who was supporting her.

Please, if you haven’t signed the petition, sign it, reblog it, ask your friends to sign it. We’ve managed to get 40K signatures for a pageant model, we’ve only gotten 11K for a little girl about to have her life ruined.  Lets get on the ball and spread the word.

Sign It.

I want to throw up. I’m so fucking angry. Sign this shit.


signal boost because this is one of the most disgusting occurances invloving a child i have ever heard of. please sign it.

Sign this. It will take you 5 seconds. A CHILD is about to be institutionalised because her gender does not match the one society has assigned to her.  INSTITUTIONALISED.

Do it now. 

Forever reblog.

I attended the protest earlier this week, and while the turn-out was bigger than expected and some people were invited inside to talk to the head of the department, not much seems to have come out of it (so far). Maybe the petition can make a difference (to be fair, I’m not sure it’s within the mayor’s jurisdiction to do much about it, but it might still reach those responsible).

There are way too many things that make me sick these days, so I’m choosing to stick to local issues, such as this one: an 11 year old male-assigned-at-birth girl here in Berlin has become the center of a terrible fight and a major controversy. She has been identifiying and living as a girl for a long time and her mother is supportive, however, her father - they had separated over this issue - claims that her gender identity was pushed on her by her mother and that she is really a boy. Sadly, the youth welfare office and her social services case worker agree that this is totally logical and not complete bullshit, and after a court decision things are now at a point where she will be forcefully removed from her mother, institutionalized, and possibly given into foster care afterward.

And no, the aim is not to carefully evaluate her, listen to her needs and wishes, and then decide which course of action to take - as her mother wanted, who was planning on taking her to see specialists in care for young trans* people - but to force her to undergo “reparative therapy”, including things such as “making his biological gender accessible to him” (wrong pronouns not mine) and “stopping gender-atypical behavior.” (YES, THEY REALLY SAID THAT. Yes, there are still medical professionals who believe boys should play with cars and girls should wear pink and everyone else is disturbed and needs to be fixed anyway. Have I mentioned lately that I hate the world a bit?)

I don’t feel like listing the many, many reasons why this is so wrong and hateful (it starts at the fact that there’s absolutely no proof and most experts don’t believe that gender identity can be “induced”, and doesn’t nearly end with the ridiculous ageism of not letting the girl have her say), so please, if you agree that this needs to be stopped:

sign the petition here

and if you happen to be in Berlin, consider attending the protest on Monday, 3 pm, in front of the Senatsverwaltung für Bildung, Jugend und Wissenschaft (Bernhard-Weiß-Str.6, near Alexanderplatz). I’ll definitely be there!

People keep asking me to draw more Hunger Games art and maybe I will, but really I don’t think I can top this one.

oh gosh rude

This made me laugh way more than it possibly should. THEIR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. I CAN’T. That shoebill has the animal equivalent of trollface, doesn’t it? And the duck! What is even going on here?

Yes, perfect. :D
(For those who can’t view pictures, it says:

“The Hokey Pokey Shakespearean Style
O proud left foot, that ventures quick within Then soon upon a backward journey lithe. Anon, once more the gesture, then begin: Command sinistral pedestal to writhe. Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke. A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl. To spin! A wilde release from heaven’s yoke. Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl. The Hoke, the poke — banish now they doubt Verily, I say, ‘tis what it’s all about.” )

Yes, perfect. :D
