it's kind of upsetting how little research antis want to put into their arguments. darkfic/proship content is not an unhealthy coping mechanism, and never will be, and sharing that content with others isn't unhealthy, either; it's a way to share experiences and thoughts and combat the isolation and general feeling of "i'm the only one that's been through this, so therefore i am gross/'messed up'," that comes with trauma (and specifically sexual trauma). reading and writing my own darkfic exploring some of the shit i went through/things similar did far more for my recovery than bottling everything up and keeping it to myself ever did, and it was certainly a better alternative to the actually unhealthy coping mechanisms i've used. (well... unless the fifteen year olds want to argue with several professionals, anyway.)

plus, telling proshippers who create content to vent that a) their thoughts are wrong, and b) they shouldn't be sharing those thoughts with other people because "they'll hurt minors," or "they're gross," just feels so icky. forgive me if this is too bold a claim for fuckin tumblr drama, but it parallels a lot of things people who seriously fucked me up have said while they were fucking me up, because things like that rely on the victim feeling guilty, ashamed, and most importantly staying isolated and quiet. Spouting out poorly-researched claims like this and pushing what is essentially a puritan moral code onto everyone around you, even in the name of "protecting minors and survivors," is doing WAY more harm than good.

but... what i say doesn't matter, does it? we don't really count as survivors unless we stay quiet and alone, just like antis want, right? eat my dick.

Don't stop talking about them. We need to be their voice.

Inspired by the amazing poem by dana

THIS!!!!!!!!!! most of us feel like we aren't doing enough because we can't physically stop a genocide but speaking helps!! pressuring helps!! boycotting helps and protesting helps!! please don't give up on Palestinians not when the entire world has turned their backs on them

here is how YOU can help Palestine

happy disability pride month to ADHDers. people with ADHD that prevents them from being able to work or study or maintain friendships. people with ADHD who forget to eat or can’t cook or burn anything they try to cook. people with ADHD who are restless and impulsive and do dangerous things because boredom is physically painful. happy disability pride month to people with ADHD who are sick of people acting like ADHD isn’t a proper disability

and let the history books name joe biden, rishi sunak, justin trudeau, emmanuel macron, ursula von der leyen and every other world leader who did not step in to prevent the genocide of palestine as cold-blooded murderers. may they face a shred of the immeasurable pain and suffering they allowed to be committed against 2.2. million innocent lives.

tiktok is such an awful app, it's almost designed to feed you misinformation and expose you to insane discourse. unlike beloved tumblr, the app that feeds me misinformation and exposes me to insane discourse

So long, Solidarity Summer! Helloooooo, Fuck You Pay Me Fall!

HELP needed covering rent and bills. Please spread!

I was already kind of screwed over monetarily with my hours getting cut back to about half of what they were but it got worse. Tuesday (09/19/23) I got into an car accident while on my way to work.

While I walked away mostly unscathed I received a minor fracture on my right hand and my scooter (my primary transportation to work) is totally busted.

I only really need about $250 to make it cozily through this bill cycle without facing any late fees.

The fracture is unfortunately on my dominant hand so I can't comfortably offer commission or sketch requests until the splint is off unless you're fine with waiting.
