If my insurance is doing its best to deny me the ability to treat my diabetes, at what point am I allowed to claim I acted in self defense?

I'm So Annoyed

Guys, I might have to find another platform other than Patreon, because they are now proving themselves to be just as restrictive and censoring as Tumblr.

I woke up to a notification saying Karma got hidden due to it “glorifying” sexual assault, rape, and coerced consent. Like did I not, DID I NOT, literally put that in the warnings when I posted it that said this work has themes of Non/Dubious Consent? And to say I'm glorifying it…

In what world is me writing a fictional scene where non-con/dubious consent events take place the equivalent of worshiping and praising rape and sexual assault? Like it's really baffling to me because when I say—when I say…there is stuff I've read and seen on Tumblr, Wattpad, PATREON, etc. that is just as—if not, 10x worse than what I wrote. And the number one common factor amongst a majority of them is that they’re female-centric characters and/or readers. Let's wake that tea up.

So it's okay when these other authors write Consenusl-Non-Consensual, Non-Consensual, Dubious Consent, etc. with mainly female readers or female characters. But, when I as a male author write about it with male characters/readers, all of a sudden, it's a problem?!?!

I'm so sick of having to deal with this. These platforms are so clearly biased against gay romance/erotica stories between males, because half of the stuff they flag us for, they’re consistently letting stories with female-centric characters get away with the exact same thing. And that's an issue in of itself because why is it more okay to write fiction about a female experiencing CNC, Non/Dubious Consent, but not a male?

sounds a bit misogynistic to me...but hey. What do I know? I'm a man who just wants to write his freaky-deeky stories and live, laugh, love.

Whatever, Karma is on Wattpad for anyone who still wants to read it. And if you guys have any recommendations for other platforms like Patreon that won't actively censor me, please let me know. I can't even repost the story on my Patreon for my paid subscribers because now every time I try, Patreon suddenly is experiencing this error that I’ve never had before posting it. But only if I try to repost the story itself. I posted an update about what happened with the story, and despite getting one error message at first, it still went through with no problem.

So, it looks like Patreon is now actively monitoring my account, making sure I don't repost the story they suddenly deem as a glorification of sexual violence but won't give the same energy to the thousands of other stories on their platforms that are the exact same as mine, the only difference being the sex/gender of whoever the main characters are.

I swear if Deku confesses his love for Ochako out of fucking nowhere while she's actively having a breakdown over Toga I will commit a hate crime

I GIVE UP!

I hate it when you're trying to do everything to help lessen your burnout because you think your burnout is what is keeping you from doing that thing that you love (writing)... Only to find out it's something even stupider (don't know how to work through the problem you just presented in the story without just saying "shut up and pretend this wouldn't be a huge safety violation").

Whoever needs to hear this:

It's okay to be bummed about the state of the world.

The US is heading towards fascism. They're not alone on this path of glory and the ramifications will be felt by everyone.

Europe may be on the brink of war that goes way beyond Ukraine. This is not me belittling Ukraine's situation. I'm all for giving them all the support they need. It's vital that we do that.

Covid keeps disabling people, way too many of them permanently. New pandemics are only a matter of time.

Meanwhile, no one seems to give a fuck about climate change anymore. We're looking at 1.5 degrees of warming next year. This was supposed to be the cap, but we're not even slowing down. The effects have become very palpable already and will keep growing exponentially to whoever knows what. Tipping points will be triggered. The effects will be felt on Earth for millennia. (That's not hyperbole. It's science.)

Humanity has triggered the biggest mass extinction event since the dinosaurs.

Feeling scared, angry, sad, helpless or whatever else about this is not a mental health issue. The problems are real, not imaginary. It is not a sign of depression to have feelings about them. Coping with them may absolutely be a mental health issue. Please get help, if you need to. But please don't mix them up. Your feelings are valid and if more people wouldn't just be all too happy to look the other way, we wouldn't be as fucked as a species as we are.

Bed Friend อย่าเล่นกับอนล Episode 6

yeah like when im talking about something i genuinely really like its probably a good idea to treat me like an idiot for liking it when i'm already upset about something else and your only basis for saying that is "its funny online to call it bad" thank you for treating me like a fellow human today

You know, I think in the quest to keep Ao3 uncensored, we've lost our ability to have a conversation about dark content and it's place in the world.

Every time people talk about X kind of dark content, it turns into a debate about whether or not Ao3 should be censored or should remove that content, and it's deeply frustrating to me. Because cognitive dissonance is a thing, people. The phrases "we shouldn't censor Ao3" and "that content shouldn't exist" are not mutually exclusive. They can both be true.

And in our quest to maintain Ao3 as a place that is censor-free, we absolutely should not start to give a pass to certain kinds of dark content just existing without criticism.

The only way to consume dark content in a healthy manner is by thinking about it and engaging with it critically. If you don't do that, then you're just glorifying violence and participating in romanticizing it. We need to still be able to have conversations about why dark content is problematic without just being "well Ao3 shouldn't censor it, end of conversation."

I have fallen into the deep end of Solo Leveling AND CAN I JUST SAY....

UNPOPULAR OPINION!

I ship Sung Jin Woo with Lee Ju-Hee the most BECAUSE SHE CARED FOR HIM WAY BEFORE HE GOT STRONG AND WANTED TO GO THAT DINNER WITH HIM WHEN HE WAS A WEAK PERSON, AND SHE STAYED IN THAT DOUBLE DUNGEON BECAUSE SHE CAN'T STOMACH LEAVING HIM SIXOKDODOXOSNSKSOZNWOSNSKZKSNSOSNSOWNSKOWKDKS.

Ok. I ship them.

Is there more fanfics to this fandom because they're so precious.

i hate being a low empathy autistic because i never have the correct response for emotional situations. i can't feel the pain that others feel, and i can't "put myself in their shoes" to understand. and it's not that i don't understand sadness, because i do - i understand it greatly, i just struggle with the empathetic part of it. so when i'm approached with others' emotions and they expect me to sympathize with them, i look like a sociopath because i can't, and i can't fake it either. but then i don't show them the correct response - the one they're looking for; the empathy that they seek - and then they get frustrated with me, and it hurts, because i don't want to hurt them just because i don't understand them. it would be easier, sometimes i think, to be a sociopath.

I love my apartment—I do. It's cozy, and rent is pretty easy to swing with my dad's salary, which is amazing, it's really more than I could ever ask for.

but we don't get trick-or-treaters, and this upsets me DEEPLY.
