Welcome to the Junk Drawer

Welcome to my junk drawer of interests.

Hello 👋

A blog of the random mind of a 31 year old being...

Most posts are whatever tickles my fancy. I barely tag, as we're careening through the void.

9/06/2024: My Ask button is titled "Please don't ask for money" because of a person asking for donations was unhappy that I signal boosted their ask and didn't donate.

11/15/24: Let me make something clear: I am barely getting by. I'm sorry, truly, I wish I had the disposable income to donate and commission whenever I wanted. But I don't have it.

hot take i think that a website being able to ban users for "no reason at all" is a very bad thing, all websites should be able to prove that a user has broken their guidelines or terms of service in order to ban them

[infectiouspiss]

users who get banned should be told WHY they're banned and given an opportunity to talk to a person when appealing their ban, automated "nah ur still banned" replies shouldn't be allowed on any website.

a user broke a guideline? which ones? and which post/reply/message/ask broke them?

a post is mass reported? sure thing a temporary auto ban is fine BUT ONLY IF A HUMAN REVIEWER THEN LOOKS AT IT.

a post is reported, flagged, appealed, and has the flag removed? that post should no longer be able to have that flag re-applied. because a human looked at it and decided it was fine.

a user submits multiple reports that all turn out to be false? ban that user for abusing the reporting system.

all of this seems so simple but it's just ?? not happening

Amorous Blue Moon: A Muffy/Molly Zine has been released! It is awesome and amazing and you should go download it right now!

I think a lot of people enjoy Chapter 1 the most, but it's really special how much interaction you get with your new family in AWL, at least to me. Molly was my first wife, all the way back when she was Muffy, and raising our kid together is a precious memory of my own childhood haha.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the zine, and to anyone who gives it a download!

The Long-Term Effects of Spanking

A multiyear study shows spanking kids makes them more aggressive later on

I haven’t pissed people off lately by reminding them that ALL types of physical punishment of kids has been proven beyond ANY reasonable doubt to have only negative long term outcomes.

So let me scream it from the hilltops:

Stop hitting kids. End of sentence.

If you think, “but I was hit and I turned out just fine” let me pre-reply: NO YOU DID NOT. You think hitting a child is ok, how the fuck does that qualify as “fine”?????? From one abuse survivor to another: please start healing yourself.
