Call me Bittersweet. Pronouns Visc/Visceraself, Quill/Quills, He/Him, or It/Its only. No They/Them... I will find you. I will remain genderless on this blog. I can be whatever you want me to be in your fantasies... don't push it on the real life me.
I am single, poly, and maybe looking if you're not pathetic. I am an adult. I said it before, I'll say it again, this is an adult only blog.
Don't like my blog, my views, my identity, the way I speak? Block me.
💢❞ ᨀ. NSFT UNDER THE CUT
Contains... amputation, impact play, non-con, kidnapping, hysterectomy kink, abuse/isolation
FUCKKKKKKK what if something bad happened and I forgot to worry about it
“The employees need a larger salary” “hmmmm large celery”
i misread your bio and thought u were using transprogrammer as an example of a transID that involves the suffering of real ppl lmao and like. you're not totally wrong <- a hobbyist programmer
Well,, I was! Just not in that definition.
There's systems who have survived RAMCOA trauma called Programmed systems. The person who programmed them (the way they refer to instilling the trauma based mind control that exists in their system) is called their Programmer...
There are people who want to trans identify as someone who performs TBMC on other people.
Aka severely traumatizing someone... as a transID.
And simultaneously making a mockery and romanticized identity out of someone's real suffering.
But yes as someone whose boyfriend is a professional programmer..... those robots are abusive bro. So it works both ways. /j
RULE NO. 1 OF WOUND CARE: ignore itttt :33
RULE NO. 2 OF WOUND CARE: go swimming!! in a pond or especially a public pool :)
WHO TF ARE YOU?!?!?!
it's kind of bullshit that people will react with horror to me discussing my fantasies/kinks until i clarify I'm the sub in them. like even my therapist was all like "ohhh it's ok to want to hold power so long as it's consensual" and then clearly relaxed when I clarified I wanted to be the sub.
i love you everyone and with rape kinks, those who want to roleplay kidnapping and abusing someone, i love you i love you i love you. this ain't me fishing for a dom/me to be clear---you are VALUED as a person, outside of your sexual fantasies. I care about you and appreciate you, and there is nothing wrong or bad about you!!!!
There's something to be said here about how the rise in domestic abuse and rape culture activism turned everyone on anyone who dares to not want to be a meek, submissive, perfect victim.
If it is okay to be the submissive in a kink, then it HAS to be okay to be the dominant in the same kink. The submissive cannot practice and have freedom to get the pleasure that you are "permitting" (not that they need your fucking permission) them to have without a dominant who is also attracted to and willing to perform with them that kink.
A dominant is not abusive because their kink is non-con roleplay. A dominant is not abusive because their kink involves stripping their submissive of perceived power (primal play, bondage, sensory deprivation, etc etc etc). A dominant is not abusive because their kink is impact play, or knife play, or blood, or any other reasonable physical harm to their submissive.
A dominant is abusive if they "don't believe" in safewords. A dominant is abusive if they tell their submissive they cannot have boundaries without being a failure in their dynamic. A dominant is abusive if they are consistently pushing boundaries outside of their discussed and consented to dynamic. A dominant is abusive if they are ignoring (not mishearing, not not-hearing) their submissive's safewords and other consent and communication tools. A dominant is abusive if they are pressuring or pushing a kink on their submissive that the submissive has told them no to or asked for time to decide, or if they go past the "trial boundaries" or "trial period" that their submissive set for them to be able to test out the kink in a safe, comfortable environment.
A kink does not make someone abusive.
A kink does not make someone a bad person.
A kink does not make someone dangerous.
A kink does not define a person's morals or ability to be trusted.
I know this is a deeply American thing to say but I am begging everyone to stay the fuck away from military recruiters. Especially high school kids. You are going to be seeing an unholy amount of them in schools or around schools or literally anywhere kids are known to congregate. THIS INCLUDES ALL FORMS OF ROTC. Stay the fuck away from military recruiters. As someone who’s familiar with entirely too many branches through entirely too many friends and family, including my partner, recruiters are authorized to say literally any fucking thing they think will make you sign on that line. They cannot and will not deliver on those promises. They need bodies for the war they’re pretending is only now starting up again. That’s all you are. A body. Stay the FUCK away from the military.
RECRUITERS LIE
Tripling this
𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒. 𝐋𝐈𝐄.
I come from a military family. My family has friends who are prior and current military. My mom was in JROTC. I live by a military base. I live in a city/state that is on the supposed "nuclear strike targets" list that you've probably seen going around if you've been on tiktok in the last month.
I will say it again.
𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒. 𝐋𝐈𝐄.
Like the original poster said, you are just a body. You are really, truly, entirely, just a body. Please don't go to them. Please don't feed their need for the war. They will promise tuition coverage, they will promise money for your family, they will promise money for you, they'll promise to get your aunt out of jail, they'll promise you that you'll never step foot on the field and you'll just sit in an office all day, they'll promise this, they'll promise that, they'll say "we're the government, we can do all this and more for you"
Remember that first statement. "we're the government". They. Are. The. Government. They do not care about you. They do not care about me. They do not care about your aunt, your mom, your father, your veteran grandfather. They care about money in their pockets and more acres on their territory list.
I talk to my mom about her experience in the military often. She describes it the same every time. 3 weeks into basic training she watched a girl die. Not a woman, a girl. She was 19, according to my mom's story. A 19 year old died in the military, before she ever even stepped foot into a warzone.
She says the same thing every time I ask about basic training. "They break you mentally, emotionally, and physically, and then rebuild you as a soldier. And then when they're done with you, they say 'go be a civilian now until we need you!' And that's it." They offer you no help if you become a veteran, they offer you no help while you're a soldier, they don't care who you are now or who you were before you came to them. You will be made into what they want. Not what your hopes and dreams are. And then they won't make due on those promises that got you to sign that stupid, smug little dotted line.
My mom's main current military friend goes on deployments often. Deployment isn't just when you move to another country to live there for a while and do your job. Deployment is going into an active warzone.
Yeah, did you know that the United States of America has been in active war 24/7, 365 since the 1980's? We didn't stop. We didn't withdraw. Our troops have been out there, dying, all the time, since the 1980's and that's exactly where you're going too. And yeah, you're right in what you're thinking, it's being hidden from us.
Maybe you'll find info on it if you go on an internet deep dive, but we don't see news about it anymore. Only if it's good propaganda.
Anyway, back to that friend. Recently, my mother went a year without hearing from him. Yep, a year. Because sometimes -- often, in fact -- when you're on deployment you can't even get those little romanticized pieces of paper from family and loved ones that tell you you're still loved and wanted when you go back home. Sometimes, that's not allowed. Sometimes, the post is intercepted. Sometimes, your papers are burnt and buried and rifled through and read before you ever even know they're on their way.
My great grandfather was a weatherman for the Navy. He was deployed during the Vietnam war. He was never supposed to be on the field. His job was to sit on a ship out off the coast and keep track of the weather for the troops while they did the dirty work. He still had to kill someone.
So yeah, they'll promise you "all you do is sit in an office!" and give you the most inconspicuous job ever, and you will still have to pick up a gun and pull that trigger.
Do not listen to recruiters. Do not believe their lies. Do not sign that line as a trade off for getting your small business off the ground or finishing your education or helping your family. That's not what they're going to give you and that's not what you're worth to them.
the survivorship bias for trans men is so horrific to me when i actually sit down to think about it. its actually Not Surprising that the majority of the voice for trans mascs come from white educated people with supportive families and/or communities. because the trans mascs who dont have that tend to detransition to finally access resources or just fucking kill themselves. the poverty rates for trans men and the homelessness and the medical abuse and the vilification of masculinity in queer communities and the violent transphobia from transphobes and the Everything all compound together to make sure the only men that survive to talk about their experiences are the men who had it easy. and then queer people have the GALL to say “trans men have it easy because theyre men” like there isnt a pile of underprivileged dead bodies laying behind the most privileged trans men in the community who get to speak for all of us and loudly agree “of course trans men have it easy, havent you seen how easy I had it?”
looking around in some spaces online is like getting lost in the aisles of a 24hr Walmart. everything u need to survive but u see odd people everywhere, some of them are naked, none of the workers give a crap, and you dont know what time it is
At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields
At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely
technically you can, if you don't care about degrees.
Free Harvard courses. Free Courses from Stanford. Free Courses from MIT. Free courses from Yale. Free courses from Princeton.
Free courses on Coursera.
Free Courses on EDx Free Courses on Alison
For paid, there's The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.
When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.
@yourunderwaterskies I wanted to say thank you so much for adding these links, seriously, they've been life-changingly helpful to me-
And I also wanted to mention that humanitarian organisations have free courses too, like the Red Cross on international humanitarian law.
Learn more about the Red Cross International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Program to train policy professionals, government officials, academics,
Kaya is a free humanitarian learning platform which offers hundreds of training opportunities across a range of key topics, including the hu
actually a big fan of this methinks
I am shocked at how many people don't have an actively hostile relationship with advertising
I am skipping your ads as fast as I can. I'm skipping past your sponsor read. I'm muting the tv. I'm muting the tab. If they get too annoying I will simply stop trying to watch.
If advertisers can use every manipulative trick in the book to get me to buy their product, I am fully within my rights to do everything I can on my end to make their job impossible

Honestly, as much as I love "Fiction isn't reality" as a proship belief, I also saw someone using "Fiction isn't education" and I think that might be even better. Because the idea of fiction affecting reality has a different meaning to everyone and is pretty easy for antis to try and twist against us, but "You should not assume that any piece of fiction is meant to instruct you on how to think or act" is a much more clear-cut message that I think is harder to dispute. I like it a lot. Fiction is not education.
