You can survive your childhood and escape the horror of your parents by creating and existing solely in a rich inner world in which you contain all your thoughts and feelings and this will not have any effect on your relationships as an adult

yeah, sure, it was the "power of friendship" that defeated you, and not my super cool "mega bone explosions" spell that I worked really hard on, whatever idiot
I'm unsure if this is an appropriate question for this blog and feel free to disregard if it's too much or not applicable but I've recently started up anti depressants and the possibility of weight gain as a side effect is getting to me even though it shouldn't do, even if I know it's ridiculous and shitty I connect a lot of my worth to my appereance and being loved (hearing so much about people being treated better due to thinness or attractiveness), fearing if I gain weight people will judge me or talk bad about me behind my back, I can feel myself beginning to slip into disordered habits due to this and I'm wondering how I can stop that before it spirals into something worse, do you have any advice?
This is definitely a topic you should address with a therapist. There are a lot of deep emotions around appearance in our extremely fatphobic society and those anxieties deserve to be addressed in a safe space with a professional.Ā
That being said, some thoughts I can offer you that may or may not be useful:Ā
Is someone who would love you more thin & miserable than fat & happy someone who deserves to be in your life?Ā
Is someone who cares more about your thinness than your well being someone whose opinion you really respect to begin with?Ā
Additionally, you've just started this medication right? So you do not even know if you're going to experience that particular side effect or not. You are doing yourself no favors by reacting to a situation that does not yet and may not exist.Ā
Let yourself live in the now. Let yourself experience the medication for what it is intended to do, and give yourself the opportunity to enjoy that in and of itself.Ā
And to evaluate if this particular med is even appropriate for you. There is the possibility that it won't be, and you may need a med change down the line. Allowing yourself space to feel what it is doing without worrying about what it might do may help you recontextualize the situation. It's a lot easier to accept side effects when you're keenly aware of the benefits.Ā
It's daunting to think about our bodies changing. That is very ingrained into all of us. But you might realistically feel very different about living in a bigger body, when it's a direct result of you feeling better about life in general.Ā
And of course remember that your body is just as worthy of love and respect whether you're fat or thin. And truthfully, gaining weight likely will teach you that some people in your life simply do not deserve to be there. Fatphobia is rampant and it is heartbreaking to discover that people you thought cared about you were actually just fetishizing your thinness. But wouldn't you rather know who actually cares about you?
Is it really a loss to lose people who never cared about you? People who are more concerned with your relationship to gravity than your internality?
So to reiterate: please try to speak to a therapist about this. It will likely take time and effort to overcome these anxieties, but that work is well worth the effort. And in the interim try to appreciate the medication for what it does do instead of dwelling on what it might do.
And pay attention to the attitudes of the people around you and take note of who cares how you feel and who just cares how you look. And ask yourself if you still care about the latter group.

Youtube...It's not really that I prefer it, more so that I have 10 years worth of playlists accumulated like tree rings
interesting kink assortment on the dash
need to beam this tweet directly into everyone's minds right now
i think the TLC network may have been one of the most evil stations in history, their only shows were like; watch fat and disabled people suffer compounding health issues, vouyeristically observe the habits and lives of the autistic and mentally ill, watch women in poverty be shipped overseas to marry neglectful and abusive american men in order to not die from poverty, and the reactionary evangelical cult family show
Hi, I'm Jack (he/him), a chronically poor trans hooker trying to keep his head abovā¦ Jack Parker needs your support for Help a Trans Sex W
This fundraiser would allow me to take a few weeks break from this intense work schedule, pay off what I owe to friends, and to manage a slightly lower work load for the month after until I can begin selling sex regularly again to increase my income once my baby becomes eligible for 2 days a week of government funded childcare. Without this I cannot make next month's rent or bills.
I hate having to share so much person information to be considered worthy of support, but at the same time I know people are wary of being scammed and would rather not donate to people with other options besides fundraising. You can read the full details of my current situation at the GoFundMe link.
Please do not feel obligated to support if you cannot afford it and prioritize yourself first. I hugely appreciate any help and assure you that I will continue to pay it forward to the best of my capability in my work and with my own finances once things improve.
The act of simply watching people have sex is itself morally neutral. That's all porn is.
it isnāt, though. sorry if Iām missing a joke here butā¦ it really, really isnāt.
It is. There is nothing wrong with watching people have sex. The morality of it depends on the context (buying porn from sex workers to watch is good, revenge porn is bad, for example), but watching people fuck? That's morally neutral. It's just watching some activities.
Almost all porn is abuse, you know that right? Most women in porn are drugged and then raped.
Even if she were paid, it would still be coercive, similarly to prostitution. You cannot buy women, or their consent. That immediately creates a coercive force that makes the consent invalid.
Ok so first of all you're lying. That is not how most porn works at all.
Regarding economic coercion, that's called having a job. But also I promise you there is a world of difference between trying to buy a person (for the love of fuck will you people ever aknowledge its not only women in porn and work conditions are a concern for EVERYONE involved) and someone making a career in porn.
Also re read what I said because you have said nothing that argues against what im saying AT ALL.
The way these people talk about sex workers genuinely makes me sick. Sex workers are not being bought, they are not owned by people paying them. They are compensated for their services or performance, like every other worker. They own themselves no matter what. They deserve dignity and respect and their work not being described in such horrible fucking ways.
And it's genuinely fucked up to tell people what they can and cannot consent to tbh? You don't get to choose that for others and then try to say you genuinely care about consent. You just want to control people.
Absolutely right. We are people, we own ourselves, we decide what we do and don't want to do. Honestly if I attach the criteria of pay and a camera to my consent, denying me that is no less fucked up than forcing that on me.
Puritanical christians/radfems and rapists/traffickers are two sides of the same coin and all ultimately working towards the goal of ruining people's lives for their own benefit.
Also, it needs to be repeated again that stigmatization of sex work leaves trafficking victims trapped. They are now in an even more socioeconomically disadvantaged position than before because no one will want to help an "icky porn star" who is being exploited.
To help trafficked and coerced sex workers we necessarily must end the demonization of sex work or else you are giving traffickers the literal tools to force unwilling people into it!
One of my family members was sex trafficked. Her case became a part of state legal precedent because her trafficker's conviction resulted in an expanded definition of one of the terms used to define trafficking (kept vague for the sake of my family's anonymity.) You know what one of the biggest barriers was to her getting help?
The fact that everyone she reached out to saw her as a stupid meth head "whore" and not a person who was fucking afraid for her life.
If society had shown sex workers some basic amount of decency, she might have had the social standing to get help sooner.
remember: a big part of what "sex work is work" means is "let sex workers have workers' protections"
I got to see a change in the criminal law, in real time, that shifted the window on how sex workers are treated in my state. Agencies that tended to treat them as perpetrators, even when they were victims, had their behavior changed the most. But even the more progressive police departments, and of course any number of labor- and benefit-related agencies, also got a few notches more understanding and accepting.
TL;DR: sex workers are people, sex work is work, and the road to utopia is paved with extremely boring legislation and administrative decisions.
this is such a simple point but god it needs to be repeated. i keep seeing even young, progressive people say "porn rots peoples brain" no!! misoginy rots peoples brains!! a video of people having sex consensually is literally fine!!
and not to become wokezilla but it has me sat the way bigotry and all of bad things a person can do continue to be Explained Away by speculating the bigot must have brain damage it be from porn or whatever, its not that bigotry benefits the bigot in society, it couldnt be that, otherwise everybody (including me!) could become a bigot, and im Morally Pure and Leftist, so bigots must have some immutable Sick In The Head quality that actually makes them act this way, it be from birth or from consumption of media that I Personally find immoral
once I snorted a fat line of nuance and everything started depending. watch out
you put a dog on a diet and he'll start begging for plain ass vinegar like he's christ on the cross
ok my apologies, apparently it was a big deal that jesus did NOT beg for vinegar while on the cross. and this was like, religiously important.
anyway my dog is suffering more than christ
I told my little nephew that I'd wave at his airplane when it flew over my house today, and he very calmly and politely explained that it wouldn't be possible to see me due to the limitations of human vision. I said he just had to squint real hard, and he took a deep breath and went into the toddler version of "see, what you're not understandingā"
it is actually haunting me that I forgot to wave. if he looked out the airplane window, he wouldnāt have seen meā¦..
Man Im sorry for snapping at you , uts just that I only got 8 hours of sleep last night and I only had like, two pandcakes with strawberrys and whipped cream and like three premium sausags for breakfast
