consent, language, rape

“Consensual sex” is just sex. To say that implies that there is such a thing as “non consensual sex”, which there isn't. That’s rape. That is what it needs to be called. There is only sex or rape. Do not teach people that rape is just another type of sex. They are two very separate events. You wouldn’t say “breathing swimming” and “non breathing swimming”, you say swimming and drowning."

boundaries, socializing, abuse

"if you catch yourself begging someone for... human decency? a response? time together? clarity? respect? some compassion? some kindness?

you need to take a step back and realize that you're begging someone for the bare minimum. thats ridiculous and beneath you. fuck that."

i personally dont know everything
and i need a world where we are given space to be responsible, make amends, and grow"
