I HAVE NEVER HIT THE REBLOG BUTTON SO FAST

[sunsetico-deactivated20250705]

some days, i abandon myself to the thought that i do not deserve to be loved.  those days, with my teeth clenched and forehead frowned, I scratch from the insides of my strength pieces of self love and care. those days, I know I have to live up to the encouraging words I dedicate others. those days, I try my fucking hardest to follow my own advice: to love one self.

self love (happy valentine’s day!). (via sunsetico)

the biggest lesson i’ve learned this year is that no one is really your friend or truly loves you until they’ve seen every dark shadow inside you and stayed.

Exactly

honestly the whole conversation around rapists men not understanding nonverbal cues and rape being an ‘accident’ is such nonsense. they know what nonverbal signals are, they just play dumb because then they can claim they had no way of knowing. my rapist literally acted like he just couldn’t hear me when I said to stop verbally. It’s not that they don’t know, it’s that they don’t care. They only claim to not know better because it allows them to escape accountability. 

they know exactly what they’re doing. Lying about being too oblivious to know how not to rape someone is literally just a tactic to avoid consequences.

hey there’s a rlly worthwhile 1999 study called ‘Just Say No? The Use of Conversation Analysis in Developing a Feminist Perspective on Sexual Refusal’ which analyses conversations outside of sexual contexts + shows how fucking rare it is for anyone to actually say no in any social situation– what we actually say is stuff like ‘i’d love to but im going somewhere that day’ or ‘i have an early morning’ + men have absolutely no issue @ all reading the refusal in these statements. but in sexual contexts women have to say no explicitly– which is double edged bc men rarely ask explicitly. men’s requests/demands for sex, as a safety net, are almost always vague + ambiguous, making the expectation of a definitive ‘no’ from women even more unrealistic, + men’s claims 2 not understand any softened refusal, when they themselves are using coded language, even more unbelievable.

this is so real! thank you for sharing this study. It articulates an aspect of this shit that I’ve been unable to.
