god i hope the stranger things kids have great loving and protecting parents that keep their kids safe and responsible and away from hollywood creeps and drugs and everything else that ruined the childhood stars that i grew up with. i hope that even tho they’re child actors they grow up safe and healthy and well adjusted and know better than to get immersed in that toxic showbiz life
because if i see millie bobby brown on a grocery isle tabloid being written about like shes another lindsay lohan i’ll burst in to tears right there
a year after making this post i hear about drake texting and obviously grooming mbb
A girl I liked convinced me to stab a man, so I did. Felt guilty for a bit, then promptly forgot about it and walked around with the murder weapon for a couple of hours, going about my business, walking my dog. Eventually I was cornered by a plainclothes police officer who asked me why I had a bloody knife; I told him I was looking after it for my bogan cousin. He said, “You’re under arrest,” and I was like,, “No, I’m not, watch this,” and then I woke up.
op was a terf so I’m stealing the post but yeah if you’re called for jury duty and during the elimination process you’re asked if you’ve ever had any adverse experience with a man (harrassment or rape or any other male violence) just fuckin lie and say no & vote that fucker guilty bc they sure don’t screen for rapists on jury duty only survivors
I did this and sent a 40 year old man to jail for having sex with a 13 year old girl. Almost every day after each court session, I would burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably because sitting in that courtroom was a trigger. I stuck it out because I was knew that girl deserved to feel like her voice was heard.
damn that’s incredibly brave of you thank you so much for sharing
All art is literally just an attempt at grappling with the fact that we have no way of knowing if the minds of other people are actually real.
any and all attempts to translate your lived experience into something tangible to communicate with other people is an acknowledgement that your consciousness ends where your body ends and what you experience as truth must be translated so that what is instinctively known by you can be even vaguely grasped by someone outside of “you” and can enter into their truth
