Patrick Weekes blocks an abuse survivor on Twitter for not tolerating their mockery of victims and our discomfort with the way they’ve written various romances. (link)
Several others are arguing with him @ the link, pointing out how fucked up it is to silence a survivor raising valid concerns; he is refusing to respond.
Hey, ear, it would great if you wouldn’t start off 2015 with an infection. Ow.
At doctor’s. Stuck listening to what sounds Faux News on the too loud tv.
[TRIGGER WARNING: child sexual abuse, incest]
Lena Dunham’s actual response and justification of her sexually abusing her younger sister. i want to start off by saying that the site that originally posted the accusations is a right wing site, and not very reliable. however, all evidence has come from lena’s own book that she wrote. no one has twisted her words.
Lena wrote that at age 7 she looked up her 1 year old sister’s vagina and found pebbles. for some reason news sites are only reporting on that event and not how lena described how she did “anything a sexual predator might do” to coerce her younger sister in to kissing her for prolonged periods of time and that she even masturbated in bed next to her. “This was within the spectrum of things I did” she wrote, ie she did other things to her sister. This happened over a period of years. For some reason news sites are hardly mentioning and some even leaving out that she tricked her sister in to kissing her and that she would masturbate in bed with her, among other things. they only reported the story from when she was 7. imo that’s twisting the story to portray lena as a curious, ignorant child. however, this wasn’t just one event, this lasted for years. Lena grew up. Lena did this as a preteen. she should’ve known better and shouldn’t be bragging about it now.
Children have innate curiosity about bodies and genitalia, showing privates to each other, touching your body, and kissing isnt abnormal, especially with kids their own age. what is abnormal is for a child, who was somewhere between 7-12* years old to coerce and trick a toddler in to sexual activities and to do so continuously. children can be sexual abusers to other children, and it happens more often than we like to think
that’s not being a weird child, that’s absolutely revolting and wrong. and for her to be proudly telling these stories 20 years later is horrific. to be an adult and proud of the sexual abuse you did to a child is boderline pedophilia imo.
lena has a history of racism, fetishization of lgbt people, and she even outed her sister to her parents, so this is just another thing to add to the list of how she’s a shitty person. now can everyone please stop calling lena dunham a feminist?
*i’m estimating those ages. we know it lasted for years, but not how long, and it started at 7. it could have been a few years or many years, i dont want to overly estimate. however i do want to put emphasis on that she was of an old enough age to know better and the age gap is large at these young ages and puts her in a position of power.
Actual quote from Grace Dunham: , “Without getting into specifics, most of our fights have revolved around my feeling like Lena took her approach to her own personal life and made my personal life her property.”
Grace has implied that this happened throughout her life (and we know that Lena was masturbating in bed with Grace for years, by her comment about ‘puberty’.) Grace has said in interviews and in her poetry that Lena has used her as her own personal journey, as her property- and now she’s essentially been outed (not only as a lesbian, which Lena outed her as to her parents without her permission as well!) but as an abuse survivor to her parents and the whole world. Without her consent.
Fuck Lena Dunham and fuck you if you defend any aspect of this.

Things I’d like to see more of in media
characters wearing medical alert bracelets
characters taking medication with their meals
characters mentioning that they have a therapy appointment
characters with reminders to eat in their phones/calendars/planners
characters using stim toys
characters asking if an event is accessible
characters using noise cancelling headphones
characters who are disabled all the time, not just when the plot “calls for it”

Now Facebook asks why you are hiding something.
“It’s annoying or not interesting,” emphasis on “annoying,” is exactly the reason why I hid that ridiculous “I’m going to [city that correlates to a random list by birth month] for [number of months according to one’s birthday]” thing that purports to be for “breast cancer awareness.”
There can be no awareness from ridiculous posts that have exactly nothing to do with breast cancer–and, in the case of other versions of this meme such as the “I like it on the [insert place you usually put your purse]” further sexualizing something that should not be sexualized does not help awareness either.
So. I will not be watching Do No Harm (after I finish this pilot).
Why?
Because it fails really, really, really hard at really, really, really basic Type 1 diabetes information.
You can literally find the facts out from multiple reliable sources in less than 5 seconds using Google.
So…they didn’t even try. At all. And since it’s the MAIN character, there’s no good way for this to end.
Because either they will continue do be shitty about Type 1 diabetes, or they will ~magically~ cure him, which will be even more shitty.
Also, it’s probably going to fail in it’s presentation of dissociative identiy disorder.
Major side-eye.
Spotify, I am tired of you giving me Trojan ads.
I’ve had two ads tonight that weren’t about condoms.
All the rest? CONDOMS. ALL SORTS OF CONDOMS.
