Since so much of it is out there at the moment…

I’ve seen the take that rape is “a fate worse than death” a lot. This is usually from well-meaning people who want SA to be taken as seriously as it should be in a society that regularly sacrifices victims at the altars of Men With Bright Futures.

But it’s wrong. And it’s damaging and dangerous for victims to hear. You are not better off dead than raped. 

After your assault, you’ll navigate the feelings of betrayal and anger and hurt. You may experience suicidal ideation. You probably will. But you are not better off dead than raped.

There is a whole life you will live after SA. It may be different than the life you once saw stretch out before you, but it’s no less valuable. You will heal and grow and change. You will know more happiness than you could ever imagine from that dark, angry, fearful place you once inhabited. 

Your life has beauty and value and it is bigger than what SA took from you.

William acknowledged your arrival to the meeting and noted that you had joined, which allowed the meeting to proceed. This mention was significant as it marked the transition from waiting for participants to starting the agenda."

I sincerely hope people will check out this year's Indie Games Night Market at Pax Unplugged! I covered nine of the games that will be featured there, each of which has something to recommend it. With any luck, some of them will be picked up by publishers or continue to be sold by their creators.

CRIMSON PEAK x HGTV 💐 A flower-seller turned debutante who wants a home 💀 A disgraced celebrity necromancer trying to resurrect his reputation 🏚️ A crumbling gothic manor crawling with ghosts 🐶 …and 73 dogs #questpit #A #F #Q
A collage of mainly black and green images, featuring skulls, candles, dogs, books, flowers, cottages, forests, and ghosts. There are some graphics on it that show dog paw prints, a teacup, and a moon. The text reads: Houndstooth Hollow: When Artemisia inherits a manor from the mother she never met, she expects newfound wealth and a lovely home in the countryside — not a crumbling gothic manor overrun by 73 dogs, countless dangerous ghosts, and one disgraced celebrity necromancer. In order to pay back her debts and save her new home, she must brave the debutante world to secure a fortune and reluctantly enlist the help of the necromancer, whose dark magic represents everything she’s tried so hard to leave behind. A collage of mostly black and green images, featuring old manor houses, crumbling greenhouses, lots of dogs, and quaint cozy cottages in the sunlight. There are some graphics, such as dog paw prints, a moth, a dog face, and stars. The text reads that this is for fans of gothic cottagecore, afternoon tea & midnight rituals, sentient manor, occult academia magic system, necromancy, forced proximity (haunted house), floriography, haunt the rich, cemetery picnics, and haunting as metaphor. There are also comp titles listed: Belladonna, Half a Soul, The Spellshop, Sorcery of Thorns, The Haunting of Hill House, Crimson Peak, The Addams Family, Tim Burton, India Holton, whimsical macabre, and books where the dogs don’t die.

I have a policy: I always let youtube ads run. I can't support every creator financially, but I can make sure they get paid some ad revenue when the opportunity arises. this applies extra when youtube serves me an hour long ben shapiro ad. headphones out, and I'll just let that garbage run.

White Christians are cowards for a lot of reasons, but one in particular is the way they name their kids. Hindu parents have a baby and straight up name him Ganesh. Catholics in Mexico: Jesús or Inmaculada. The world little needs another Greg or Jessica. Give them a white kid named Jehovah.

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.
