Some of you aren't being progressive as you think you are.
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.
Not to make a serious post too much but remember how angry everyone rightly was about bread companies adding sesame because it's cheaper to poison people than clean your machinery?
Yeah well it's happening in other foods. I already posted about Kellogg's doing it to cereal bars and Austin Snack Crackers but now it's in greens CVS granola bars and Jenny Fucking Craig cheesecake which btw record level they added EVERY allergen to that shit.
If you are unable to afford donating, this link allows you to click a button every 24 hours in order help donate to Palestine.
American mutuals, I seriously urge you to tell Congress and Biden to stand with Palestine, and do not stop sending this message. You can also donate here.
This is not a war; what Israel is doing to Palestine is genocide. Do not sit idly by and do not stay quiet. Now more than ever is the most important time to not look away.
I love the library
I think the funniest thing I learnt today was that antis DID try to make their own ao3, but the restrictions made it impossible to do anything.
Nobody on the site could agree on one solid concept of "moral" and "immoral", so it spawned a plethora of huge arguments and the site had to be shut down.
And the tagline was "good fiction for good people."
Make of all that as you will.
This is my new favourite headline I've seen all year lmaooo

reminder: if you're getting an intramuscular injection (e.g. a covid booster or flu shot) and you're above 200 lbs with estrogen-based body fat distribution or 260 lbs with testosterone-based body fat distribution, you should be requesting a 1.5-inch/38mm needle. you might want to print out this sheet and bring it with you, because I have had pharmacy employees blithely tell me the 1-inch needle is fine for everyone, and I find a clear directive from the CDC just makes life a little easier.
