I’m so sorry you’re in such a tough situation, and that something that should be relatively joyous has this negative tint now. I’ll preface this by saying I’ve never been pregnant, nor am I currently in any sort of relationship. Has your partner said that he’d leave if you were to keep the baby, or has he done…

I’ve been there, it’s no fun. I love my alone time, but I want it to be on my own terms. I’ve found that it helps to get out and do anything in a public place. Just taking a book to my local coffee shop and reading there for a couple hours seems to dispel the uneasy loneliness a bit, at least for me. It’s weird,…

I’ve started going for walks and listening to music on days that I have a bit of extra morning time. It’s nice to get out of the house and do something that doesn’t involve rushing off to commitments. I wish I could walk somewhere as beautiful as you’ve got though!

Wait, does everyone like non-fuzzy hadncuffs better? They kind of hurt my wrists? I have weirdly bony wrists though, so maybe that’s just me?

I got kicked out of private school over a decade ago and still have nightmares about being forced to go back and complete my remaining time there at my current age. Like, live in dorms with teenagers and have a 9pm curfew and shit. It’s horrifying.

So I got curious about fetlife the other day and went to check it out, but I didn’t make it past the sign up page after being seriously intimidated by the number of “roles” there were to choose from. I like a bit of kink and really enjoy being dominated, but I’m by no means involved in the BDSM community and know next…

SNS is the one place everyone always gets ungreyed! It’s a magical land of actually having your posts seen by people!

Definitely alert your doctor before the test that you’re a survivor—any doctor who is at all competent will have experience dealing with trauma survivors and know how to walk you through it in an appropriately sensitive way. You might consider asking for a benzo to take beforehand to calm your anxiety if you think…

I had a truly awful one night stand last night and have decided I need to nail down a FWB situation so I can have reliably good sex without any sort of real relationship investment. I don’t have any friends whom I’m particularly interested in, and don’t really know how to go about finding a rando with whom I get along…

It’s been 8 years since my assault and I still haven’t nailed down what I feel like is the best time to bring it up in a relationship. It’s come up at a lot of different times and it never feels quite right—sorry I don’t have better advice on that front. BUT, I will tell you that I’ve never once had anyone reject me…

Is that a thing kids say?

I know quite a few people who have followed advice similar to what’s in this article and have successfully flown with drugs on multiple occasions. This article isn’t talking about dealing with customs, just plain old TSA airport security where their focus is entirely on weapons.

Lolz okay, deal. I’ll do that if you stop trying to pretend you’re an authority on a legal system you have no grasp of.

I absolutely stand by my original statement that this is 100% protected by free speech, I sort of can’t see how that’s even in question it’s so basic. The case I raised is probably the most famous challenge to free speech as it relates to inciting illegal action, which is why I provided it for you. You seem to be…

Haha I stay away from twitter, and that choice has now been validated. That place has evidently become quite wild since I was last there, what with roaming gangs of lawyers and all. Though if they’re armed with the legal knowledge level of intheweeds I suppose they’re not all that dangerous.

So if going to the food court and eating an obscene number of hot dogs gets me off when I think about it later, is that now deemed a “sexual activity?” Just because this is possibly psychologically arousing to the people involved doesn’t mean it’s inappropriate to do in public.

That’s straight up not illegal though. Advocating illegal action is entirely legal with the exception of inciting imminent law breaking. Brandenburg v. Ohio is a famous case on this if you’re interested.

Why does he need a history of rape for you to believe he’s a rapist? Even without this clear demonstration of sexual aggression in his past, Emma’s story would be 100% believable.

Lack of a legal conviction does not equate innocence. Are you saying George Zimmerman isn’t a fucking murderer because he wasn’t convicted?

I feel guilty that I never reported my assaults and that I still haven’t told most people I know about my experiences. There’s often this implicit suggestion that survivors who don’t talk about their experiences are in the wrong, and it’s really refreshing that she can laud Emma’s choice to be so visible in her fight,…
