Hi guys!

In this blog, I’ll give talk about the positives and negatives of online activism in regards to the Black Lives Matter and #MeToo movements. And what change has been achieved from it.

Positives:

It helped with organising protests

It helps give voices to people who were victims of police brutality and sexual assault

It created a wider awareness to those who are normally apolitical

It helped grow system of support for victims of assault or made them aware that they were also a victim of assault

It helped destigmatise sexual assault

It made people more informed on the history and the systems that enabled rape culture and systemic racism

It can put elected officials under more pressure to make change

Petitions can be widely shared to make the views of people known to officials

Negatives:

People treat serious movements as trends

People often don’t put in the effort to actually help these movements and unpack their unconscious bias such as the performative ‘black square’ people posted in 2020 to show solidarity with the BLM movement

‘# Activism’ often drowns out the voices of those most affected and in most need of being heard

Not knowing the people you’re protesting with can lead to distrust and disjointed protest (You can see this with the protests for BLM in 2020)

Fake news can be spread rapidly to sow distrust in the movement and fear monger about those fighting for their rights

Achievements from Online Activism:

It helped hold some police officers accountable and got them to actually be charged with the crime they committed after much online pressure.Rev Wheeler Parker, a cousin of Emmett Till credited the Black Lives Matter movement with finally making lynching a federal hate crime. Derek Chauvin convicted of murdering George Floyd which was the spark from the 2020 Black Lives Matter Protests.

It helped pass The Times Up Act of 2018, which aimed to strengthen anti harassment and anti discrimination laws. It also helped to pass the Survivors Bill of Rights act of 2016 although the movement had not skyrocketed notoriety. It helped to convince Harvey Weinstein in 2020 and Larry Nassar in 2018. It also helped start the Times Up Legal defense Fund be established in 2018 which provided legal support for survivors of harassment assault and abuse. It helped to pass many other laws and put predators behind bars.

So many innocent people were destroyed by the me too movement meanwhile real abusers get to live their lives

I think the movement did start with the best of intentions, but I agree with you. Lots of false accusations and men's lives have been destroyed as a result because "believe all women" is better in theory than reality. Women are capable of lying, reporting false accusations and weaponising their supposed victim hood. The ones that do, undermine and spit in the face of evrey women who has been assaulted/ abused and should be held as legally accountable as actual abusers. It goes without saying I want actual victims/syrvivors to get all the help and support they can.

How many times do I need to say “no”? Do my words not make sense?

I explain to every guy who tries to talk to me in a relationship way. I have been raped and sexually assaulted in my life so if I’m not ready for sex, I am NOT ready. Recently I avoided my almost second sexual assault.

Went to hang out with a guy to smoke and watch a movie. I sent to assert before I was going that we were not having sex. He says this is fine.

He is currently upset with me because I “made him feel weird” by leaving when he wouldn’t stop groping me or asking if I could feel his dick. I told him no to trying to cuddle with me but he kept trying to pull me towards him. He even tried to pull my face towards him to kiss him. I told him I had to leave because he was giving me flashbacks from my previous sexual assault, and it gave me so much anxiety. He was upset with me for feeling this way.

He says that he acted this way because he is in love with me. That is not the kind of love I want to be surrounded with. And ironically after I left he texted me saying wow you’re never gonna let me between those legs huh? This made me see red. I am not a sex toy.

I honestly don’t understand why men push sex so hard when it’s not wanted.

I condemn you to Hell

A pound of flesh for your sin

You greedy dog

You mutt of filth

Your teeth remain in my skin like venom

I bite my thumb at you

I curse your name

I wish my pain on you and your kin

I lived in fear

I hid in the dark

You trapped me in the lion's den

My pain on display

For your entertainment

The crime of my torture forever on film

I curse you

I curse you

You haunt my dreams over again

You cowering fiend

The lord's pathetic lamb

I will slaughter you before the altar that remains

The altar I built in my mind

My mind where I worship my kind

My kind no longer in your binds

Your binds- the chains of time

Time that heals yet I still am trying

Trying to purge you, you swine

The swine who will bleed like wine

Like the wine I will swallow when I dine

When I dine on your flesh

You scum of the human kind.

A poem, complete with this doodle I did when I wrote it. It's me, stabbing the stupid bastard man I wrote this poem about. Then at the bottom, me and Crowley (he's a comfort character of mine shuddup) burn him in the pits of hell. I clearly have not recovered from my trauma.

Tanushree Dutta files a FIR against Rakhi Sawant, accusing her of inflicting "psychological trauma" during the 2018 Me Too movement.

Tanushree Dutta claims Sawant made false and defamatory allegations about her, causing her image and reputation to suffer. Tanushree Dutta, a Bollywood actress, has filed a FIR against Rakhi Sawant at Mumbai's Oshiwara Police Station. During the Me Too movement in 2018, Dutta accused Sawant of inflicting her psychological pain.

Sawant, according to Dutta, made numerous false and defamatory allegations against her, harming her reputation and career. She has also claimed that Sawant was involved in a plot to defame her and damage her career. Dutta has stated that she is suing Sawant in order to protect herself from additional violence and to seek justice. She has also encouraged other victims of bullying and harassment to speak up for their rights.

"I have come to lodge a FIR against Rakhi Sawant for the psychological trauma she suffered during the Me Too movement in 2018," Dutta stated in an interview with the media. Many penal provisions have been introduced to the FIR for various reasons. We have documented every remark she has made against me. He will not be spared this time. Now that the process has begun, they will take action shortly, and I have provided them with the entire background." Dutta also explained what transpired. "The background is that during the film Horn OK," she explained. Please understand that they first deleted Rakhi and included me in the film, and then following the uproar with Nana Patekar, they reinstated Rakhi. So this is a strategy. The plan was to use my name to promote the film. They returned all of my checks. Everything was planned, and Rakhi was a part of it." Dutta also discussed the trauma she experienced as a result of Sawant's words. "I have gone through a lot of emotional and psychological trauma because of Rakhi," she explained. She'd said horrible things about me. I couldn't take it anymore. Every year, a fresh drama emerges to maintain the spotlight. She completely damaged my reputation. She ruined my personal life, and as a result, I was unable to marry. Rakhi had been bothering me for a long time." Dutta has encouraged other victims of abuse and harassment to speak up for their rights. "I want people to open their eyes and take strict action against people like Rakhi," she stated. My career was on the rise until she absolutely derailed it.

November 6th, 2024.

I lay in bed, sounds of fireworks ring in the distance sounding more like gunshots to the heart of democracy.

How could we let this happen?

Once again, Trump was underestimated.

Once again we thought we have a slam dunk.

So who is to blame?

I want to scream and yell and cry and shout. How could we allow this to happen? How could that many people underestimate a monster who’s not even trying to hide it?

How can an overprotective father threaten a men his daughter is dating in one breathe and in the next support and man who wants to grab women by the pussy? How can a mother support a sexual predator who wants to take away her rights?

To say I’m disappointed in my fellow America’s is an understatement. Each and every one of us played a part to get Trump here. We created this monster and it will be the end of us all.

Hi guys!

Today I’ll be discussing how Black Lives Matter and #Metoo started and what the organisation is about.

Black Lives Matter:

The #BlackLivesMatter movement started in 2013 by Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tomeli because of George Zimmerman being acquitted for the murder of Trayvon Martin.

It is a global organisation that spreads across the United States, United Kingdom and Canada with the mission of fully getting rid of white supremacy and building local power to intervene in violence perpetrated by vigilantes or the State.

#Metoo:

The ‘me too’ movement was started in 2006 by activist and survivor Tarana Buke to develop the resources and supports for those who have experienced sexual violence that weren’t available at the time and to try to stop it from taking place in the first place. [The hashtag ‘#MeToo’ was only gained popularity in 2017]

Is an organisation that helps survivors heal, puts a wrench in systems that allow sexual assault to happen, holds perpetrators accountable and implements long lasting and sustainable systemic change. So, no one should ever experience something like that again.

Link to Theorist(s):

This links into the theorist Karl Marx because of his theory that the oppressed under a capitalist system will fight back when they’ve had enough. It links into the theorist Sylvia Plath because a lot of her work deals with feminisms and also sexual violence.

Is Atlantic Ocean current near collapse? Could be sooner than expected

I think we should push mitigation strategies off until 2070, buy some yellow trucks, and make sure we're adults for our children. What a sound strategy.

More business, way more business of course! pro fit! Pro fit! Greed is good. Denial even better.

The more wasteful the better.

Breed more idiots. We particularly need more violent male idiots and weak women.....more of that.

Something happened to me on a Friday night. I was leaving my friend's house, waiting for my peer specialist to pick me up.

Originally, I was in line to have a different peer specialist. But for some reason, I got this man named Darrin at some point around the time I'm back to school. A bit of background about him is that, before working with my original peer specialist, he worked with my staff's supervisor in the Central branch. He became a close friend of mine to the point that we socialized outside of his work. Eventually, it got to the point of becoming a sexual relationship. I initially thought he was at the age of my parents, but he lied to me that he was around my age. This, in retrospect, disgusts me that he would go after youth.

Flash forward, I told Darrin that I had this deal with my other friend named Pat. The deal was to have sex with Pat before Darrin or anyone else. I communicated to Darrin that I only wanted to like grind, genital against genital. But then, I was penetrated. It took me more than once to say "NO" or "STOP". I felt how painful it was. This was the aspect that told my gut to call Planned Parenthood a few days later. You'd guess what I found out exactly what this man did to me...

Note: His full name is Darrin Barnes. Luckily, he had a condom on, and I didn't bleed. I thought I could call 911 ASAP, but I was in such a private place. Just thinking of this gross mf makes me wanna like murder the shit outta his junk!
