Could RAMCOA and/or TBMC be done by a family or parents/caregivers? Or is it only done by organizations?

Because of the meaning of the initialism RAMCOA, it is difficult to answer your question as stated in the form of an “either/or” question.  RAMCOA and TBMC do not have identical meanings.  I am going to seperate some of the initials out to help explain the meaning of RAMCOA, which should help in answering your question.

The RA in RAMCOA stands for ritual abuse.  This is abuse that takes place during rituals.  This could include but is not the same as ritual abuse programming, which is trauma based mind control. RA also covers satanic ritual abuse (SRA), but not all ritual abuse includes a belief in satan.  Families or groups can participate in abuse that takes place during rituals.  Rituals could be in a home or basement or outside or another location with a larger group of people.  RA abuse can also take place in daycares or facilities where the abusers have access to children

The MC in RAMCOA stands for mind control.  It can be trauma-based mind control programming (TBMC). Trauma-based mind control programming is the kind of programming that intentionally creates DID in order to control parts or alters within a personality system that can be hidden from the rest of the world and the person, because they remain unaware of the DID.  This kind of programming (TBMC) is used by the government, rich and powerful cults, organized crime, and high control groups. It may also be found in the entertainment industry and sports.  The same kind or level of programming is not used by every group.

Most often, children born into families that have experienced generational abuse and mind control and will be selected for both ritual abuse programming and government programming.  The key is their ability to dissociate, which can be passed on genetically.  Abuse often occurs prior to birth and is initiated immediately and systematically during infancy.  Children are tested at about 18 months of age to see if they have the proper dissociative abilities in order to undergo trauma programming.  In these cases, the parents are usually aware that programming is happening and are willing participants in the abuse.

At other times, very young children are selected from day cares, foster homes, or families that have somehow been blackmailed or given incentives to sell their children for use in programming.  Here, families are aware of programming, and reinforce programming, but the trauma-programming takes place outside of the home.

The MC in RAMCOA can also also include controlling the minds of people through brainwashing or indoctrination and cult tactics, which is different than TBMC programming.  People in these groups can be controlled through the use of trauma responses, though they may not be programmed to experience DID with scripts, codes, triggers, etc.  Also, the control is not usually hidden, but it is often confusing.  Survivors can experience this kind of abuse in cults, churches and other religious groups (not all churches or religious groups employ cult tactics) high pressure organizations that claim to make you “better” somehow, hate groups, and other environments where critical thinking skills and sense of personal identity are replaced with the ideas of the group, and outsiders or outside ideas are viewed as a threat.  Sometimes families are run like this.  People who were raised with extreme, narcissistic abuse from a parent may have some symptoms similar to those raised in a cult.  If one’s family were involved in a group that employed these tactics, then the children may be exposed to this forms of abuse.  

The OA RAMCOA stands for organized abuse.  Organized abuse happens in an organized group or network of offenders.  This could describe networks of abuse that fall under any of the above mentioned initialisms along with other groups who traffic, trade or exploit children and controlled adults or or images of children or controlled adults for their gain.  Children and adults may or may not be programmed, and they will be conditioned to serve their abusers. It can also apply to other groups that use extreme torture and sexual violence as a way of control. Source

I hope that gives some understanding regarding what each of the initialisms means and the environment (family or group/organization) in which they might take place.

I hate asking for things but a mutual of mine is currently hospitalized due to poisoning.

For those who don't know, there's a string of poisonings in Arizona and Texas where human traffickers are putting a fast-acting sedative on people's doorknobs as well as a flyer hanging on the doorknob in order to kidnap them. My metal knew that the flyer was poisoned but not the doorknob so she mananged to get to a hospital. She only now just became conscious enough to speak.

Her hospital bills will be anywhere between $1,000 - $3,000 and she is unable to pay for that without going into debt. Below is the PayPal we're using to fundraise

Please spread this around. Anything helps, even just a dollar. Thank you.

Conservative Instagram Influencer Wants to Know What’s Wrong With Her Beliefs

In case anyone missed this news story. Andrew Tate, known human trafficker, was wanted by Romanian authorities along with his brother, but they kept dodging arrest by always being out of the country. Until Tate suddenly decided, in all his misogyny, to target Greta Thunberg for some condescending comments. She replied with a clap back about how he was displaying small dick energy, and he tweeted back at her essentially saying "I know you are but what am I" but with a selfie attached.

Here's where it gets hilarious. He had pizza boxes from a Romanian pizza chain in the image, and it was recognised as the Tate brothers' villa. So authorities who were monitoring his social media realised they was there and hurried to arrest them.

He got taken down because he got so mad at a teenage girl insulting him, after he had gone out of his way to provoke her, that he accidentally doxxed himself and is now going to be prosecuted for his crimes.

What a lovely way to end the year.

So, first off, this is not an attempt to kink shame (dubcon and noncon are great!) but I do keep seeing a thing in fics (I do NOT see this irl in kink spaces nearly as often) where like. A character will interrupt the flow of the scene to check consent

And I don't mean in an "are we still green?" Or "what's your color?" kind of way, but I mean. The author has tagged the fic and indicated via prose and/or author notes that they are doing their Due Diligence to make sure this fic is Righteously Consensual from top to bottom, No Question About It

And a character will ask for full sexual consent either directly or indirectly or renegotiate the boundaries of the kinks being practiced AFTER the sex acts have already begun.

Here's the thing: horny brain isn't great at making decisions! irl in kink spaces, there's often a lot of emphasis on negotiating BEFORE the scene begins, perhaps even with a space between negotiation and the scene if it's with a new/unfamiliar partner (maybe it's a few minutes while things are set up, maybe the partners negotiate a day or more in advance! It depends!), and not changing the parameters of the scene after someone is already horny or god forbid already in subspace.

Again, these are perfectly fine rules to break in fiction, when the author is aware of it (most characters are not going to be fully familiar with safe, sane, consensual practices and the traffic light system, nor would we want them to be!) but I'm increasingly finding fics where the author DOESN'T seem aware, which takes a normal fic (in-character, with reasonable but perhaps even somewhat dubious practices, which the author isn't emphasizing or preaching about) into Red Flag Territory (a character, OOC, yanking me out of the scene to behave like a PSA about consent instead of conforming to the horny tone of the scene, and perpetuating unsafe practices anyway)

If you are writing a master manipulator or someone who wants to have a gotcha, you totally said it was okay on a character they are trying to bone (which is well in the realm of non/dubcon) that's fine! This PSA is not aimed at you. But if you are trying to write someone who Cares Strongly About Consent, then perhaps be more aware of when is an appropriate time to escalate the situation (sexually speaking) or ask for consent!

scar is strong and grian has hollow bird bones, which means that scar can scoop grian up so easy, and it's flustering as hell for grian. he's never known anyone who could pick him up, hollow bones or not. it makes his heart race every time, and he sometimes intentionally provokes scar into picking him up. grian is still flustered those times, too. scar is completely oblivious to this until they're already together and grian tells him about it—and then he makes a point of doing it all the time, and it's never any less flustering

because i’ve somehow already gotten shit for this, please, for the love of god, do not harass me abt posting about palestine, congo, sudan, haiti, etc. I have been and will continue to talk about them on my platform. But my state just became potentially deadly for me to live in. And because of my dad’s vote my house is also unsafe. And I have no money and nowhere to go. For some reason me posting about this and my fear on other platforms has to led to a lot of comments about how it’s my fault because i didn’t vote third party (read: Jill Stein) to stop a genocide (Jill Stein is a zionist btw) and it’s what I deserve for living in a red state. Right now I’m scrambling to figure out how much longer I’ll have access to birth control in my state. How many more anti-queer laws are gonna roll out that could get me killed and will kill so many other queer people. We have large indigenous communities in my state whose rights and right to their land were directly threatened by this election on both national and local levels. I don’t want to hear shit anymore about how I’m not doing enough or how my focus needs to be elsewhere when I’m trying to keep myself and my community alive. So kindly shut the fuck up if you think i’m not active enough or doing enough for you.

Galladrabbles: Perseverance

A @galladrabbles check-in on our happy newlyweds thanks to @twinklyylights this week!

=== 🎧 === 🎧 ====

“Come on Mickey, with a little patience and perseverance, you can….”

“Gallagher, I’m warning you…” 

Mickey hasn’t slept a full eight hours since moving to this stupid West Side condo. It’s SO.DAMN.QUIET. He’s listening to “City Streets & Traffic Sounds” on Spotify, wearing these big-ass noise-canceling headphones, put up black-out curtains... Nothing works, and Ian’s being the wrong kind of helpful right now.

“Maybe I can get you one of those sleep sound machines with ambient nature sounds…”

“How about we can’t have sex ‘til I get a decent night’s sleep. With a little patience and perseverance….”

“Shut up.”

pssst kink ao3 writers. come here.

yeah, come here.

i wanna tell you something. just a suggestion.

if you are writing a slightly kinky sex scene and the characters are checking with with each other regularly with shit like "is this good?" "yes its good" you do not need to have the anyone ask for a stop light color 45 seconds later! your characters have all already established they are having a good time!!!! if you write the sub as being insanely vocal about how great shit feels your dom does not in the middle of that need to ask for a color! the audience knows the color the color is oh baby fuck me harder yes like that. making the sub say green in the middle of that is just wrecking the flow.

the rules of fictional kink are already different than actual IRL kink-- we can see into people's heads. if you're writing from the sub POV we know the sub likes it!! if the sub is being loud about liking it we can assume the dom knows!

please trust the audience a little more and stop wrecking your own pacing!!!! also frankly you're undermining the entire premise of a lot of kink shit if the dom does not trust the sub to tap out if they need to. like... the trust is the point guys!
