Anyway. I have so much anger related to my health and my ex. I found out I have liver problems and have to get a liver scan. And I’m pissed.
My ex used to forcibly intoxicate me. Which, as a kink, hot. As a lifestyle, not.
He’d have me drinking to the point of blacking out regularly. I was regularly hungover. Hungover beyond hungover in an alcohol poisoning kind of way numerous times. I can’t count the number of nights where I’ve had full bottles of liquors or 3-4 bottles of wine in a night.
I wasn’t allowed to tell him no. No was not a word in his vocabulary, as everyone in his life was too afraid to tell him no. I was the only person to ever tell him no and stick to it, but I did it on the rarest of occasions that I deemed the most important because of his over the top reactions to it. If I did tell him no, I was met with screaming, threats of things I REALLY didn’t want, temper tantrums, the silent treatment, slammed doors, revoking of finances, and other abuse.
At first I thought it was fun. Then it just became normal. I chalked it up to my alcoholism, but that’s not the case. Yes, I’m alcoholic in a functional way, but in the almost year since I have been away from him I’ve never drank more than a bottle of wine, I haven’t had a hangover that’s more than a couple hours of nausea or a bad headache, and I haven’t puked once.
I drink maybe 2-3 days a week and usually just a couple cans of something or one or two mixed drinks where I’m not even remotely buzzed afterward. I’ve been tipsy a few times and drunk a couple this past year, but not almost every night like I was forced to be when I was with him. I have full control of myself and my drinking and stop when I need to or want to.
I told my doctor what he did, and she thinks my liver is probably better than it was and is on its way to getting better. But it’s just not fair. He took so much from me and left me with nothing to my name. I have to pay for expensive therapy to deal with the trauma he left me with and now I have to pay for specialists and medical bills for the health issues he caused me. I don’t have the money for this.
He just keeps taking more and more from me, even almost a year later. And after dealing with him and what he put me through for 8 years he doesn’t have to pay me a cent even though it’s 100% his fault that I am broke, in debt, struggling, and starting from scratch.
I’m. Fucking. Livid.

One of the wildest things about studying film, especially as a queer person, is how many of these film scholars genuinely believe in and argue in favor of the Hayes code. Its mind-boggling to me.

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!
do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.
