Hey everyone so about today
Added 2024-11-07 03:59:12 +0000 UTCSo,
I guess I never really talk politics as I think it’s fairly easy to see what side of things I fall on. But also political discourse online with trolls is just not worth anyone’s mental time.
But today FUCKING sucks.
What has happened in the US is awful and I want all of you to know this page will always be here for you as a sanctuary from hate and bullshit.
The threat of basic human rights being taken away even further is unacceptable. I will always stand with every woman and person in the lgbtqia (can we please us alphabet mafia lol)
Today sucks. It hurts. It’s scary. I’m pissed like really really pissed. I am beyond flabbergasted at how many people have shown their true ugly dark colors this week.
Hate is not tolerated, nobody’s bodily autonomy should be infringed upon. No one should tell you who to love. And absolutely no one’s faith should dictate how anyone else lives.
I’m mad, I’m sad, but above all else I want you all to know I am here for you and I love you all.
Sorry I didn’t get this posted earlier. Been traveling and flying all day. Please feel free to use the comments to lament and scream as needed.

And if I hear any man in my presence even whisper that putrid saying going around. It’s gonna be my fist his face. I make nice content, I like being creative, but while I’m fiercely loyal and faithful to those I love. I am not a nice man. This isn’t to say I’m not pleasant but push comes to shove. I am not a nice man. I’m just being honest. This whole situation has really broken a Dam in me. While I may not have faced the same struggles as my friends in the alphabet mafia. And I have not lived the life experience of a woman or a trans person. I have been the victim of patriarchal violence. I grew up in a ruralish town, military blue collar community. And I was the weird nerdy kid. I got beat up a ton cause I was short and fat. Broke my leg. Kids took my crutches carried me into the woods and left me there at recess. I got tied to a fence post and beat with sticks when I stopped a kid from beating up another. And these town bullies/gang whatever tried to hang me once. There was no one around to stand up for me and I’m gonna be damned if I let that happen to anyone else.

2024-11-10 00:03:55 +0000 UTCMy use of the word “risk” is something I put on myself. As a gay Hispanic man who grew up in south Texas, 58 years later I still feel “risky” speaking my truth - but age is bringing me out of it. I don’t know, this hurts so much deeper than 2016. What terrifies me most is that he has basically NO guardrails and has carte blanch to do whatever the hell he (or his people) want to do. Kamala is hope and joy and kindness and intelligence. Yet here we are. And to your point about Christians and their religion, imagine when they are told what Jesus really looked like given the part of the world he was in. And thank you finally for describing a “real man.” You walk the talk and I am grateful there are men like you still in this world.

2024-11-09 23:44:45 +0000 UTCI don’t see it as a risk. I am beyond pissed about this whole situation. I was raised in a conservative, Christian, military house. Thank the autism for the lack of brainwashing. But if there was one good thing from my upbringing I kept. Cause I burned a lot of bridges. Is that a man who thinks himself a man who thinks he has honor is a man who will stand up for others. A man won’t demean and scream and shout to belittle another. A man disagrees in measured tones. A man doesn’t exploit those who cannot defend themselves, they don’t go out to harm others intentionally and most of all a real man respects that we are all humans sharing a planet. A real man wouldn’t threaten sexual violence or try to rip the rights of others a way. A real man stands his ground and shields those who can’t fight back. A real man listens, loves and fights when needed. He doesn’t go looking for it. He raises up those whose voices need to be heard and anyone who calls himself a man should push and fight for justice and equality for all no matter what. No one should be scared to just live. And these so called “Christian’s” don’t even understand a damned thing about their own religion. Jesus was a hippie homeboy. They’d crucify him again if he came back.

2024-11-09 22:59:11 +0000 UTCThank you for taking the risk and for being your honest self. Like you, I am mad, sad, and embarrassed. I can only hope it doesn’t get as bad as we fear, but I also know it will as bad if not worse. Glad to be in community with you and others like you.

2024-11-09 16:54:22 +0000 UTCI think I know of whom you speak.

2024-11-07 20:08:00 +0000 UTCI mean, was it really all that shocking that that particular person was a Trumper?

2024-11-07 06:31:06 +0000 UTCYeah earlier this year I unfollowed one of my favorite ASMRtists because they revealed themselves to be a hate supporter (I refuse to even say the name) and ever since I've sort of...watched with trepidation. The worst part is finding out those who support it. Who can listen to his hate retoric and think that it's ok. The next few years are going to be hell on Earth and I can't lie, I'm scared.

2024-11-07 06:14:30 +0000 UTCThank you for speaking to this truth. We all need support and empathy and hope and fight for the times to come. I'll say that for me, your boy/girl series has been very validating with where I'm at with the alphabet soup: just your normal work is really positive for me. It's nice to know I do have a place where I can feel myself. ❤️🩹

2024-11-07 04:29:45 +0000 UTCI appreciate this man. We all use ASMR as an outlet and I’m happy you make sure that it’s a safe space (or whatever you want to call it 😅) for all of us. Hey everyone. Take care of yourself. Focus on what you can control. Take a deep breath and choose what fights you have the energy for today.
