//aint gonna get into details but I hope my North American friends end up okay, sending y'all my support from down here

[sae-something]

straight up terrifying shit is happening in this country (you might have seen/heard some news about the Amsterdam-events...) and I've been managing to kinda... breathe through it and find support with friends, but tonight it's just kind of breaking me. I feel so scared.

I think it's the combination of two things today. first some very dear friends losing their insurance coverage for therapy because of some shocking news about the 2025 health insurances (my therapy with A is safe, thankfully, though that is up in the air every year again, for 2025 I'm good).

and then I just saw something one of our current government parties (VVD) posted on twitter and it's just... it's horrifying. they propose "taking away the dutch nationality after antisemitic sentiments" (meaning they just want to kick people out of the country), for instance. and at the rate things are going, I think in just a few more weeks they will consider it antisemitic to even wear a pin of the palestinian flag. they're are full on embracing the anti-islam rhetoric. anti-refugee. anti-humanity.

I am terrified. I don't know what to do. I am crying for all the people I know who are suddenly losing their therapy (or having to pay thousands of € per year). I think part of it is the terror of losing A, and I'm just repeating to myself that that's not happening. I'm one of the few lucky ones.

I'm scared. I don't know what to do.

I didn’t wanna say anything but if you support the orange man please leave my blog.

Guys if you're queer, you HAVE to read this, especially if you aren't cisgender. I saw a few posts mentioning it but it is SO much worse than I saw any post mention. This is BAD. Here's just a fucking screenshot of one of the worst parts.

This is bad. This is day one. No one will blame you if you have to go back into the closet for safety. But I know a lot of us will stay out and visible, I'm planning to, but if you're planning to do that you HAVE to be careful. And honestly I wouldn't try it if you dont have a strong support system because it's going to be dangerous. We're in serious trouble.

ronald says everything’s gonna be okay!!!!!!

[heartsbreaking]

the fact that i still have to "go to class" and "be present" and "do a presentation" is fucking bullshit

i promise i'm safe and won't be going anywhere near the centers of government for a while

if anyone has any recent entertainment news i have to do a presentation in my producing class on an article and i forgot to find one

[weishaupts]

my brother: so is it good that that ceo was killed

me: yes

my dad: no

[cyberpawn]

The horrors persist, but we stay silly here (AKA I'll still be here for writing and chatting because Vale loves to be a distraction)! Stay strong, stay united, we cannot be dissolved by the powers of whatever is coming. We've got each other's backs, don't you forget that. They cannot take our humanity from us.

Do you think it is wise living in texas? Considering you are trans? Heavy Trump support there. Do many people know you are Ftm?

Anon I don't have a choice. If I could I'd genuinely be fleeing the fucking country right now. I'm half out half closeted, some people know some don't.

Politics tw below the cut, don't read if it triggers you! I just needed to get this off my chest too badly, and I've made sure it's tagged accordingly.

Probably the first and only time you will catch me posting about irl politics, the everythingist KKK tramp isn't even in office, but I've already had enough:

Setting aside the

Violation of the Constitution regarding freedom of speech

Deliberately isolating Americans from outside perspectives, people, cultures, education and worldviews

Culling the app having the fastest and widest reach regarding news, true news, not the bullshit headlines I've seen (Right of free press, anyone??)

Blatant censorship wrapped in a 'tHeY aRE stEaLInG yOUr DAtA' as if Facebook hasn't been doing that shit for tale long as time

American billionaires benefiting from slaughtering their biggest competition in the market and able to force more people into underpaid slave jobs

If I see you posting good riddance/people will have to get a true job/onlyfans hoes-bots are gone; I will block you without a second thought.

I am European, online sex worker with an OnlyFans, Fansly and soon to be other paid platforms and a stripper. I've never used TikTok to promote my sites, but I am livid, worried on behalf of those who do/had done. And OF models aren't the only ones suffering from this, millions found a job and advertising on that site from singers, bakers, YouTube reaction channels, all those which are SFW instead of 'being online hoes'. Content creation be it porn or baking a Michelin star worthy dish IS work. Content creation is work and almost everyone gotten used to being entertained for free to the point they don't see it as a job.

Are most of the influencers annoying? Yes. Are there scammers and misinformation? Of course. Does that give a government the right to ban an app where people make a living, have fun or educating others? Absolutely the fuck not. And the reason why there are so many small, medium sized businesses, self employed people is because the economy and the job market had failed them long ago. Was it my dream to become a sexworker? No. Does it give me more flexibility regarding time and income, freedom, freedom of expression, opportunities, ability to set & enforce my boundaries and take breaks when I'm sick/not feeling well without the fear of getting fired than any other 'normal job' would ever have? Yes.

Those currently celebrating the fall of TikTok, because how dare other people be talented, smart, creative, determined, attractive, resilient enough to make a living without two jobs (bitch, it's actually 7-8 being the 1. Model, 2. Makeup artist, 3. Stylist, 4. Social media manager, 5. Editor, 6. Being the PR of the brand and interacting with people, 7. Marketing; and with me the 8. Being a dancer with all the workouts, stretches, practice, high self maintenance that come with it.), those people blindly and willingly signed away their rights in their precious Constitution with applause and malice to see people fall.

No matter if they are an erotic content creator, or a comedian, or a fitness instructor. But those people, when the holier than thou fascists start really banning free porn will be up in arms yelling about their rights.

And if trump ends up 'saving the day', that's simply a circus act for the people to feel gratitude and secure younger voters. After all, HE wanted this platform gone the most. He does not get the credit of being the 'savior' & I bet the TOS will have drastic changes with censorship if the app ever returns to the Divided States of America.

Anon hate regarding this will be deleted and blocked on sight; I don't entertain strangers for free.

For folks a bit confused about what's happening politically this evening (Nov 5, 2024), i have made a very long, very bad video (https://youtu.be/RRGjTN3gs6s?si=EOK1jUc9ZFYw2abr)

or i shall ramble below:

There is a large group of people who have set themselves in a position of power who believes that all humans who do not hold to their belief system and guidelines are purely selfish with cruelty and are under the influence of evil demons. They believe that sometime probably soon those of us who don't hold to their beliefs will raise an evil dictator to power who will serve the devil and we will hunt, torture, and kill those who hold their belief system. They believe that after 7 years their god will send the devil, his demons, and all of us who don't believe and follow their belief system into a pit of eternal torture.

What's important is that they belief that the United States of America will be the city on the hill, the place from which they will hold their last stand against the evilness that will relatively soon turn from us doing our own thing over here to hunting them for sport.

Most white American Protestant Christians (especially from Protestant groups that formed in america) hold some form of this belief system.

In the last like 10 years this group has gone from being like 50%ish republican to 86%ish republican (pew research center. I go over it in the video).

This is a battle that has been strategically fought for at least the last 70 years. I was first told this was a culture war I was fighting on God's side before I was 10.

That is what is happening tonight.
