Public Service Announcement for all my kinky people.
Things that are icky, gross, bad, wrong and abusive
-Politicians, lawyers, CEOs, stocktraders, cops
-Stores that send their overstock to the landfill, instead of donating it
-Nosy people who interject their own beliefs onto others
-Organized religions (the pure beliefs are often fine, I'm not attacking your religion, I'm attacking the people exploiting it)
-People who are truly violent/abusive (non-consensually)
-The "justice"/penal system
-Companies and the whole system that underpays and overworks people
-The housing market and the systems driving it
-Policy makers who actively sabotage progress to fund their own interests
-Hateful/stupid/close-minded people who spread their rhetoric
Things that are Beautiful, Liberating, Healthy, Good.
-Exploring your sexuality and lifestyle
-Being yourself (unless you fall into any categories from the above section)
-Loving yourself and accepting others
-Helping others be able to reach their goals
-Learning and trying to understand others
-Minding your own damn business
-Exploring your body and mind and your relationships and dynamics
It doesn't matter how hardcore you are in your kinks or how vanilla you are compared to others. Just have fun, be yourself, be safe, be kind, do you.
We can have fun with words like gross, icky, abusive, nasty.
We can use words that help make our therapy be more fun, but we don't need to actually be those things.
