I need a lawyer for my Sexual Assault case.

I am a sexual assault survivor seeking justice from my repeated sexual assault I endured in the workplace. I’m urging everyone who views this to spare $1 all it takes is 10,000 people to spare $1 for me to retain a lawyer to help me fight my case. This is not only a sexual assault case, this is a hostile work environment, racial discrimination case. Please help me keep fighting

we're halfway through the year already? bullshit.

the past month(s), i noticed how i lacked discipline to do things consistently. i do have the energy to do things, but i do it sporadically. only when i feel like it. sometimes i start a task and stop midway to start another. it's multitasking, but it's not working for me.

this month i'm going to work on my discipline and consistency, make a habit out of things i want in my life and stick to it.

on another note, i put a pause on reading a little life so i can read wideacre by philippa gregory. i loved the constant princess and the way she writes strong-willed, determined, and unstoppable women within a patriarchal society. i've already made so many annotations in just the first two chapters.

im also enjoying annotating books more and reading them based on their more prominent themes. i keep seeing how other readers annotate this way and i wanted to join in. having taken english literature for 4 years (IGCSE and a-levels), i have so much to say about a book i read.

admittedly, i feel like english lit has ruined the way i read for a long time. especially english lit for a-levels. for 2 years, we've been reading poems and fiction by assessing its themes, analysing the pieces according to the context it was written, and evaluating the author's intention. we dissected literature to the point that whenever i pick up a book and read it, i'm dissecting it rather than just enjoying it. i'm trying to undo that with the books i'm reading.

although the lessons i learned from there are important in real life because it has helped me to become more critical and to see how the things authors write about are a reflection of real life (because they are). a lot of books are about people and life is about dealing with people.

but whenever i pick up a book i dont want to read it for the sake of dissecting human behaviour, the choices they make, and the broader implications of its consequences upon society. . i want to see life, beauty, and romance alongside those things.

The real "lolitacore" is putting the book down and sobbing because dolores' trauma sounds a little too familiar 🎀

Weirdly enough lolita made me come to terms with my own childhood trauma- When lo was on Humbert Humbert's lap and he said "there is no other bliss on earth comparable to that of fondling a nymphet" the way that line me sick to my stomach and made my heart drop when it somehow managed to dig up this one memory. I wasn't a nymphet, dolores wasn't a nymphet, we were just kids who were taken advantage of by a man that was supposed to be our guardian.

I feel like the only people who romanticise lolita are the ones who've never experienced what it's actually like to be sexually assaulted when you're a fucking child by someone who's much older than you and someone who you're supposed to trust- leaves you feeling confused, conflicted and blaming yourself.

No you're not a nymphet seductress, you're being groomed.

I’m so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause I’ve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how “snarled” and “eyes darkened” and “eyes softened” etc. was used in a book and like…

Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply don’t take the time the understand the words as they are read?

Psst hey!! Over here!

Fic writers and original story writers are the same!

Writing fanfics doesn't make you any less of a writer!

Yall are just gatekeepers. Stop being assholes. There's room for everyone!
