Okay so. I actually wanted to say this from the start when I first made this account because it would've given a lot of context to my headcanons and stuff but.

Yes, I am a victim of CSA. I was around 9 at the time when it first started and yes it was a family member. I'm not obligated to tell anyone this but I'm comfortable enough now to talk about it.

The thing is that it's been happening for a long enough time that it's become normalized. I still live with said family member(though that may change in some time) but I hope this doesn't change too much between us.

None of my irl friends nor family know yet so it's just between us. Discussing twp without mentioning my pov has been uncomfortable so I'll be more open from now on

Haunted Summer, 1988

as I reread and annotate my own ideas of what was truly occuring in the odyssey, I've realized that odysseus had only been assaulted/co-erced forcefully because the lives of his men were held over his head, which was circe's doing. however, there was no mention of calypso assaulting of forcing odysseus to elope with her, and only that she had kept him on her island. however, this may just be the translations I'm reading and not a analytical problem to be expanded on.

'guys don't call odysseus a cheater' 'guys he was assaulted' 'guys he was imprisoned with his life over his head, what was he supposed to do?' are all valid points, but I can tell these people aren't aware of the fact that odysseus had sex slaves in the original homeric tales. he is a cheater, but that doesn't make him any less of an assault victim either.

RIP Vivienne Westwood (8 April 1941 – 29 December 2022)

from @thewestwoodarchives on ig . “Wow! Footage of the iconic kiss!

I don’t remember seeing this before as 90s Vivienne Westwood can be hard to find sometimes but here is footage of the iconic kiss was between Denis Lewis and Susie Bick for Vivienne Westwood’s Autumn/Winter 1990 “Portrait” collection!

Thank you to @pechuga_vintage for finding this!”

absolutely diabolical how @ahmed8311 has been fundraising since APRIL and still hasn't reached 13% of his goal. he has eight family members in gaza and has to evacuate them. if you're reading this, please donate to his fundraiser if you have the means to.
