Sade is evil and reading his stuff for a university research project gave me nightmares for years. He was a rapist who was always looking to enact his sick fantasies in whatever ways he could get away with and anyone who enjoys Sade or holds him as some kind of martyr or anything positive is fucked up and best avoided
"It has also been argued that. far from being free, people are enslaved, degraded and ruined by their appetites. But in fact, Sade was enslaved and ruined by society's response to his appetites, not by his appetites in themselves" dude WHAT am I reading? Isn't it known this guy was a serial rapist, torturer and a kidnapper? Why are some critics on the internet regarding him as martyr? Like he was put in prison for unjust reasons? Calling him a feminist for showing women new ways to be sexual??
Andrea Dworkin analysed and debunked Sade's fan-made biographies entirely and described all his crimes one by one (chapter 3)

Elon Musk's N*zi Salute at the Trump Inauguration Rally. The US government will attempt to censor this or shift your perception of it.

This stratospheric level of egoism is mindblowing and disturing to me.
As someone with diagnosed with PTSD, no, being deceived by an author you never met is not trauma. You can’t call every uncomfortable or painful experience trauma. You’re making the word lose impact and meaning.
"He violated us too" No. How tonedeaf can you be? How tactless? Making someone's else rape about you? No, you haven't been violated. He didn’t put his fucking hands on you. Those two experiences are not even remotely comparable, and the fact that you think they are is seriously worrying. You mentioned talking to your therapist about it— yeah, you really should.
"Time to grieve" no one died. The actual, real victims deserve to grieve the life and peace of mind they lost.
I'm not saying you can’t feel betrayed by an author you loved for a long time, but the least you could do is not make someone's else rape about you.

radical statement here but people in red states aren’t subhuman and they don’t deserve to suffer and die because they have shitty state governments

Becoming financially dependent on a man means that he can literally control you. Never do it.

My least favorite things about anti- UBI discourse is always the techbros whining that "nobody is going to work anymore! People will just watch Netflix all day!" and I have 2 responses:
1) Who the fuck cares. Who the fuck cares what people do with their time! That's kind of the fucking point!
2) People aren't going to stop laboring. Housework (look, it's right there in the word!) will still need to be done. So will maintenance on our homes and personal spaces. Children will still need carers, as will the elderly and disabled. There are millions of examples of ~work~ that we do all the time, uncompensated, that won't suddenly stop because we aren't forced to sell our labor to provide corporation's profits.
I'm not surprised that what is traditionally women's work is invisible to these dipshits, but it never fails to anger me.
Anyway. Join the IWW.

a muscular woman is not a manly woman. womyn have muscles too, and her exercising and training those muscles is not "masculine", she is just active. womyn are seen as weak in society, so when people see a strong (physically or otherwise) woman, they automatically think of her as masculine

here's the story. i know expressvpn has been recommended in some 🏴☠️ how-to posts but it is not trustworthy. the parent company, kape technologies, not only used to distribute malate but has ties to multiple state surveillance agencies. and be careful where you look for info about good vpns, because kape technologies owns a bunch of "vpn review" sites too

hoping that 2025 is the year where it stops being so popular to believe that something being a coping mechanism for trauma means it’s above any criticism

Sometimes you have to acknowledge that you don't do well when there's certain patterns around. I don't do well on my own. I prefer it, but it makes my mental illnesses worse. I have to force myself off the computer and into the real world at least an hour a day (usually closer to two if I have to drive). Sunlight and fresh air and grass, even if it's raining or muddy or cold. It's important. I have to force myself to socialize with people face to face at least twice a week to avoid real isolation. There's a reason Isolation heavily contributes to the development of several mental illnesses and is considered a symptom of others. We are meant to interact with people and our world in person. Only doing so virtually is bad for us.
i cant stand seeing these ppl say shit like "oh but tiktok has opened up the world for so many people!!" "it introduced me to so many amazing friends!!" "the community on tiktok has saved my life!!" you are sitting in your bed staring at your phone for hours not moving and not having a single original thought. you are SHUT OFF from the world. you're avoiding your life. you're not connecting with people or joining a community you're wasting your life watching strangers who you will never meet pretend to live. its sad & pathetic & we deserve better than this sort of existence

Conspiracy theory time. The reason good tech literacy stopped being taught in schools is simple. You don’t need good tech literacy to download a game or a movie, you do need it to pirate one. You don’t need tech literacy to sign up to something, you do need it to cancel. You don’t need tech literacy to accept the default settings which sell your data to everyone, you do need tech literacy to have a chance of navigating through the settings, though
