After seeing a few people link to this site on my Tumblr feed today, I’m making a personal pledge to help everyone at untilabortionends.com keep improving their diet so that they can live longer and healthier lives.

The members of that site seem quite earnest, and I hope in principle to be respectful of everyone no matter strongly I disagree, so I’m trying not to be TOO snarky here. But the underlying logic of this protest is baffling. They seem to be hoping that women who’ve decided to seek an abortion will visit this site and say “wow, if you feel strongly enough about this that you’re making the irrevocable life-changing decision of giving up Dr. Pepper, maybe I should reconsider having a child that I can’t support!”

Tee hee, yet another reason to support abortion rights! 

Though framing abortion as “women’s reproductive rights” is somewhat cissexist because it completely subsumes the concerns of trans* people who can get pregnant (as well as trans* women whose reproductive rights are denied, but differently) and follows some pretty shitty precedent for excluding trans* folks from access to healthcare. But only rhetorically so okay.

Point well taken, and apologies!

Tumblr isn’t just a site. Tumblr isn’t just a family. Tumblr is a fully populated city. It’s a neighbourhood. We fight. We have our problems. It’s a school. We learn new things everyday. It’s a hospital. We save lives. We’re there for the sick. It’s shelter. We care for those who need caring for. It’s a gallery. We show our talents. We network. Tumblr is just life on the Internet. No censors. No rules. Just individual morals. It’s like a 70’s dinner where everyone knows everyone and we’ll welcome you with open arms - until you mess up. It’s the life you wish you had. It’s the life you’re going to have. It’s the life you’ve dreamed of. You are cared for. You are loved. On Tumblr, you are not alone.

jessfink: (UPDATE to all of this at the bottom) So on Tuesday I rage spiraled into space for a while when I was told that Todd Goldman was ripping off my designs AGAIN. I know my designs are simple and play on ideas we all understand but the fact is Goldman offered me a job in 2006. He said he loved my Threadless shirts, that he bought a Lil Soap shirt and wanted me to work for him. I told him I would think about it and we never spoke again. A few months later I get links from people to David and Goliath tees, the company he owns and he is selling rip offs of my designs. So Threadless got their lawyers involved and sent him a cease and desist and eventually, (probably because he was also being sued by ANOTHER artist at the time: http://tinyurl.com/5ubyu7o ) he took them down. Now he is selling them again, as you can see in the above image. Then as always, whenever I talk about my shirts being ripped off I get emails telling me about more rip offs. This time an Etsy user, Tyneshia Buie who straight up TRACED the design. I’ve had my shirts ripped off A LOT, Forever 21, Hot Topic, Wet Seal, and every time it gives me insane stomach ulcers and I have to track down the thieving “designers” and send Cease and Desist messages and contact Threadless and lawyers. It’s called protecting your copyright and it’s AWFUL HARD. At any rate, this Etsy seller was selling the most blatant straight up TRACE of my art work I have ever seen. I got some help from some nice twitter people and the design was removed from the site, but not the seller. As you can see in the image above she isn’t oblivious or ashamed, she knew what she was doing. The point is that art theivery is fucking bullshit. No one should buy from this girl again, or Todd Goldman/David and Goliath but they do! I’m sure that Etsy user will continue to steal and D+G has merchandise in every major crap store in the world. Help me spread the word that these people are VILLAINS and not in a cool way. You can see the LONG LEGACY of art theivery by Todd Goldman here:http://travelswithjesus.com/todd_goldman/ Threadless rip offs David and Goliath have sold:http://jessfink.com/junk/goldmanripps.jpg Hot Topic rip off and Goldman’s rip off painting of my Lil’ Soap shirt:http://youthoughtwewouldntnotice.com/blog3/?p=861 The completely unashamed Etsy thief Tyneshia Buie’s store:http://www.etsy.com/people/glitterbiscuits My original designs on Threadless: http://www.threadless.com/profile/145276/finkenstein As for me, I am sending Cease and Desist messages and contacting lawyers and bathing in a see of stomach acid as I rage spiral into space. #UPDATE!— Tyneshia Buie’s store now appears to be completely empty and the antagonistic comments and banners have been removed! Thank you to everyone for flagging for antagonism and theft, and thank you to Helen Killer on Regretsy for posting about it. Thank you very much to everyone who has been supportive, kind and civil about this matter.
