People CAN’T accept that in America.

Sometimes it okay to not be okay. I wish more people could accept that.

That essay is very good. I have long wished that we would collectively stop using the words “victim” and “survivor” as if they are antonyms, casting “victims” as weak and “survivors” as strong. Being a victim does not make me weak. It simply means other people chose to victimize me, and that says a hell of a lot about…

a cool thing about doing EMDR/ truama therapy is that i feel like i’m no longer a victim or a survivor. it’s like a thing that happened that i no longer have any connection to

I was sexually assaulted but hate the word “survivor”. Two reasons: 1- It almost makes me feel like I did something good because I “survived” and didn’t get killed. The reality is that I didn’t have a choice . 2- I feel like it diminishes in some way other victim’s experiences. I never thought I was going to die…

Those are really good choices, imo. :)

Part of the reason it’s hard for me to admit I was sexually assaulted as a teenager is because I don’t feel what happened to me was an assault. Using words like survivor absolutely have the best intentions but it can serve to alienate a portion of the abused and narrow the scope of what types of abuse/assault “count.”…

I’ve been working on a book and sharing very intimate content. A frequent response to my stories about childhood sexual abuse is that I’m so ‘very brave’ or some kind of hero. Though I don’t discount our experiences, I know when I meet fellow abused brethren, I avoid using those terms. It was not bravery or heroism.…

Congratulations to Amber Rose. Played the game and came up. Next in line is Black Chyna.

Lupita just has a way of nailing every single red carpet in a way that is so different from everyone else. I mean has anyone ever seen her not look amazing and unique on a red carpet?

Millennials will never understand why Robyn is the superior Lively sister. And that makes me sad for them.

New Yorker here. I find that celebrities don’t mind if you talk to them while they’re just being normal if all you say is “love your work, man” with a smile, and keep walking. No picture, no engaging in conversation. They smile and say thanks but aren’t interrupted from their lives, and you have the satisfaction of…

It was the best kind of 80's movie! What made the 80's the 80's!

Yay, a Teen Witch kindred! I’m surprised at how many people haven’t seen that movie. I mean, it was cheesy as hell, but it was the very best kind of late 80s/early 90s cheese.

Maybe don’t take pictures/film women without their consent

THIS. It makes me sad that “kids these days” dont understand any of my TW references.

I think this calls for a Teen Witch “Top That” rap.

The Craft (and Practical Magic) inspired some half ass attempts by my friends and I to conjure up some stuff. We took it “seriously” but. Come on.

Heathers is the best movie to attempt to explain to someone who has never seen it. “It’s about a girl and her boyfriend who kill people and frame them as suicides. It’s hilarious! No really! Why are you backing away?”
