I’m here for the girls who unwillingly consented to sex or sexual acts because they were in a situation where they didn’t feel as if they had the right to say no and now feel violated but don’t feel like they can say they were raped or molested.

this is probably one of the most important text posts i have ever seen because i feel like this is a HUGE issue among teenagers especially young girls in today’s social culture and nobody talks about it. nobody tells you that you were in fact abused and sometimes it takes you years to finally realize what happened to you was wrong, and it’s really scary and confusing! we need to teach each other that “rape” or “molestation” can happen in many circumstances and not just the ones we are taught!!!!

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Okay, just so we’re all clear:

Yesterday, the AFP raided the home of Annika Smethurst for leaking “national security information”. What she actually leaked was the Home Affairs Department planning to place all Australians under surveillance - something that was only stopped by Julie Bishop, who is no longer in the government.

Today, they have raided the Sydney offices of the ABC for the Afghan Files report in 2017, when they revealed warcrimes committed by the Australian army in Afghanistan.

This is honestly terrifying. The AFP is being used to intimidate journalists into keeping their mouths shut and stop reporting on the government’s human rights abuses.

Democracy dies in darkness. Support our journalists.

The AFP has raided the ABC in relation to the Afghan Files stories, which reveal allegations of unlawful killings and misconduct by Australian special forces in Afghanistan. The story of the raid is developing right now but in the meantime here are the Afghan Files.

“Trapped under a blonde haired boy who taught me, being sixteen, rape and saying ‘I love you’ is basically the same thing.”

“I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
