Hey tumblr. I’m putting out the bat signal re: something important to me, and I’d love if you could listen up and maybe boost the signal and help me out.
I’m in the middle of casting my new webseries The Soliloquies of Santiago in Toronto, and one of the roles we’re casting is a closeted pre-transition transwoman (18-24). The character when we meet them is living as a man, but won’t be by the end of the arc, and I promise – this won’t be another unhappy ending bit of tragedy porn. The character is a major supporting part, though not the lead, and the arc they go through belongs to them. I’d love to do that with a trans actor in the role. The role is paid and the actor would need to be nonunion.
We’ve seen some fantastic cis actors for the role so far, but we know how important it is to cast trans actors in trans roles. It’s tricky because the character is closeted, so if we have a trans actor in the role, it’d have to be pre-transition.
If you’ve ever looked as a trans character played by a cis actor and been angry or disappointed, please signal boost this. We know how important it is to cast trans actors in trans roles, but if we can’t find someone, we will have to cast this role with a cisgender actor.
If you know someone – or if you are a Toronto-based trans actor who fits the bill! – please email producer@santiagoseries.com and we can send you our casting breakdown with more details.
If you don’t know someone, if you’re completely detached from ‘the industry’ but still care about casting trans roles with trans actors, please reblog. The more you boost our signal the more chance we have to cast a trans actor in this role.
Also going to end this post with a question mark so people can ‘answer’. Here we go?

If you are not already reblogging PSAs to
help your friends/followers receive word about safety
during this wave of neo-Nazi cyberbullying, please do so. This warning is now officially in effect for all POC, Muslims, and other groups likely to be targeted by White supremacists, in addition to Jews and Rroma.This
includes neo-Nazi URLs to block and things to do to avoid being exposed
to triggers. There have been a number of these fucks using the submit
feature to send graphic gore and threatening violence in any way they can. This has been happening with increased frequency since
Yom HaShoah, the Jewish day of mourning for those we lost in the
Holocaust.At minimum–and we should not have to do this, but staff is doing jack shit to protect us–all Jewish, Rromani, and otherwise at-risk users should take the following precautions:
1) Turn off anonymous asks
2) Turn off the options to submit photos, videos, or audio
3) Block the following users–
Keep an eye out for the crossed-out URLs as they may resurface. Do NOT hoard inactive URLs.
I’m
not sure how many of these blogs are actively harassing people, but better safe than
sorry. I do NOT advise looking at their pages, only blocking them and
reporting them. They may have viruses, among other things.

For those URLs which cannot be blocked via your settings, I recommend blacklisting them in xKit or whatever other blocking extention you have installed.
Again, please do NOT hoard inactive/deactivated Nazi URLs.
If you reblog this, please take all of the above precautions.
They are sending gore and graphic threats of violence no matter who you are if you
spread the word. The entire point is to harm marginalized groups
and scare off our allies.We are down a substantial number of URLs, but we need to stay vigilant. This may be a temporary let-up before we get hit with another wave. We
cannot allow Tumblr to continue its de facto support of neo-Nazis and
White supremacists. Even if we successfully remove the current
harassers, this may happen again unless we take action to change the
status quo.Here’s how you can help:
- See this post and go check out Operation Highlord
- Sign this petition to get staff to block White supremacists’ IPs
- Contact the Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center
I will be regularly updating the original post & reblogging the newest version.
If you need to reach me with a tip, please tag me in a post–in this order:
- neo-Nazi/White supremacist’s URL
- @hanslovinde
I request this order because it will help me avoid visiting one of their blogs. If you do not tag me this way, I will NOT be able to use the information.
Per deskgirl:
Here’s a tip for blocking people who are actively changing their URLs because
I have had to track people down this way: check the username in
Tumblr’s tags and searches. Have a friend do it for you if necessary.
Try to find an ask. (Bless people who tag or have apps that tag asks
with usernames.) Asks are active posts that constantly change to match
the asker’s URL.Thank
you to the bloggers who have given me tips and those who have helped me keep updates going while I’ve
had post limits in effect and/or have been unable to access my computer.LAST UPDATED: 2100 GMT 5.2.15
