Alright day 3 and I’m already on the verge of crashing the fuck out
This hasn’t ever ended well before and idk why it would start now and I’m not 100% sure what I was even thinking especially starting school despite a major psychotic episode biting my ass just a few months prior
If you think there is any acceptable reason to tell someone to kill themselves, get the fuck off of my blog! The worst person you can think of still deserves human rights! Suicide should not be taken lightly nor thrown around when you’re unhappy with someone!
Putting my lived experience and a bit more ramble under the cut, TW for CSA and bog standard child abuse. Passing mention of suicide, though none of the warned content is super detailed.
I was abused and groomed, I now see, within the Christian church for as long as I can remember. A few of my punishments consisted sleeping outside when I wouldn’t make my brothers bed, being captured by my neighbor as if I was a criminal and returned to my “owners” when I had barely started grade school, and ofc, the evangelical beatings.
On top of this I was essentially used to sate my pedophile uncle and protect my cousins from him.
It isn’t fucking easy to acknowledge that anyone involved in this is a person or that they deserve rights. But they are. And they do. And I have to insert the “everyone is a person and deserves basic rights” floppy disk every fucking morning because it lowkey sucks acknowledging that someone who almost left you dead still deserves anything.
At the risk of sounding annoying I believe that there’s good somewhere in everyone, and even if there isn’t, wishing they would harm themselves isn’t the answer.
Basic rights and basic respect are not fucking optional, and it pisses me off every single day, but it’s true. Even my fuckass uncle deserves them.
I could say more on suicide but I’m not going into detail. I’ve nearly succeeded on many separate occasions. Some of the straws that broke my poor camel’s back were internet posts. Please ffs can we NOT tell people to kill themselves. Over fiction, ofc, but in general. Let’s not.
Guys, gals, and nonbinary pals, beasts of flesh and marvels of technology, this is your reminder to *not* input sensitive or potentially identifying information into surveys, and always read the privacy policy (or policies, if it is run by someone through a third party) in its entirety before proceeding.
Your data could be at risk and, even if it isn’t leaked, there is always a risk of improper or malicious use of submitted data in the final data set.
Finally, I love sketchy shit as much as the next person, but be wary of survey links with little to no data provided about them. Additionally, it can be dangerous to provide detailed information on gender, identity, and associated healthcare in the current political climate, particularly in the US.
And I say “survey,” but you can apply this info elsewhere. You are not immune to phishing. You are not immune to malware. You are not immune to data scraping. Malicious programs have evolved beyond the classic “millionth visitor” popups and the Offiz trojan, but they are still here and can still hurt you and your device.
Stay safe, stay freaky. And, rest assured, we will get through this shit.

No nuance, sorry. I'm debating uploading them there, but if there's no real interest and all y'all freaks like using the tumblr, then I'll worry about it sometime between later and never
