how to tell people "sorry im weird in late october/early november. a friend of mine died on october 28th 9 years ago and another friend of mine died on november 7th 11 years ago" without "trauma dumping" or whatever

sorry i read a post that made me mad in a group im in lol

maybe im just a dick but i have no patience for the "i feel ashamed of being a man" talks in the trans masc groups im in lately like come on man

basically: you are not responsible for the actions of other men. you are responsible for your own actions. why do you feel shame over someone else's actions you cannot control and you were not present for? you didn't do anything.

a lot of the people who make these posts very much sound like they think there's something inherently bad about being male. there are not inherently "good" or "bad" genders and thinking there are is bioessentialist.

insurance approved my antidepressant refill so im gettin to take it for the first time in like a week yeehaw. maybe i'll be capable of doing actual work and not just randomly crying today

i'm sorry, men, but those of you who *aren't* like this need to call out the men who are. this sucks so much, he should be reprimanded at the very least. the nfl - who welcomed him back - is such a sleazy organization from top to bottom

thinking about him a lot today w seeing more people talk about their experiences and i hope he feels bad. i hope he thinks about me and feels bad. i hope the title ix person i talked to at [school] thinks about me and feels bad

jake@tarantuladad.bsky.social

recently ive been thinking a lot about the fact i was sexually assaulted in the dorms of a college where i was not enrolled as a student. the person who sexually assaulted me was a student there. title ix was useless since i wasn't a student there. campus police was useless since i wasn't a student

there should be more songs about frontier psychiatrists

wish i knew how to keep months straight. since this happened in 2020 in a dorm, it would have been before may since we were all out of the dorms by then. it happened around extended spring break so it would have been in late march

understandably, i have difficulties placing exactly when this happened. my memories of it are not great

we have a second student mistaking inbreeding depression for depression the mental illness and discussing the isle royale wolves being sad in their homework assignment

it happened in the dorms on a college campus and the title ix office was not helpful. in fact, they made me feel worse. i know shit was whack due to covid and a lot was happening because of it, but i dont think that justifies the treatment i received. there was never a full investigation

i am purposefully refraining from mentioning the college and the name of the guy because i want to maintain some sort of privacy while sharing this. please respect that choice

i do have close friends ive not told about this because it's kind of...embarrassing i guess? even though id never tell someone else it's embarrassing it happened to them, it feels embarrassing it happened to me. after all, when i reported it, some of the first comments i got from the people who were

supposed to help me were questioning how i, a man, let myself be sexually assaulted. so, for friends who did not know until now, i was sexually assaulted in may 2020

i did see him a couple times after the sexual assault because i just wasnt thinking in a smart way afterwards. part of me hoped i misinterpreted what happened tbh. he ended up leaving the state due to covid closing the dorms and i left the area not super long afterwards because i finished undergrad

and got a job in a different part of the state. ive not seen him since may 2020, but as far i know he was able to continue attending there and finish his degree

there. the city police were useless because they considered this the job of campus police since it occurred on campus. i did report and all it resulted in was people telling me "sorry but it's not my job" and questions about how a man could let himself be sexually assaulted. nothing came of it

i only reported it because friends said i should and, to be clear, im not mad they said i should report it! i think it was advice that came from a good place! in a just world, you should report sexual assault without being made to feel worse, but reporting it did nothing but make me feel worse.

going to repeat a belief ive had for at least a decade now: greek life (yes, im including sororities; my belief is not exclusive to fraternities) should not exist on any campus anywhere

i get a dm anytime someone blocks me and i have learned the best way to get a fuckton of people to block you all at once is to ask for financial assistance btw
