what are you doing here reading this? block me already. we (allegedly) finished this conversation years ago and this unhinged survivor is just unnecessarily hurt and lashing out 🙃 ugh trauma makes people so confusing 💅

*throwback to conversations about “what is accountability even”* because when a survivor asks for that it’s apparently really complicated and too hard to parse 🙃

sharing this again because why not. i'm unhinged crazy and hard to parse and am upset that people that threw me under the bus when it was happening are talking about metoo stuff on bsky like they actually stand for something: www.nathalielawhead.com/candybox/abu...

sharing it again in case it's too "hard to parse"
because maybe i sound unhinged crazy out of control and need to be more clear.

i'll leave this here again because it's absolute shit to see these new takes on metoo stuff form the same people responsible for participating in the shitshow that came down on me (so many of you joined in and then blocked when i just shared screenshots) www.nathalielawhead.com/candybox/abu...

people like this loved acting like i was hard to parse or understand (unhinged, hurt, crazy...), but the issue was pretty simple: don't publish details of a rape that was promised to not be published, don't put sources in danger...
they all made it a complicated and convoluded talking point.

you're so quick to throw survivors under the bus and justify abusing them when it's your peers or people you need that do it (even "both sides" is part of that same rape culture you discourse)... when do you actually stand for something for real instead of just discoursing it when it's convenient?

it's just kinda funny when i see some of the same people that participated in throwing me under the bus to "both sides" or support the journalist that called me a liar... talking about metoo stuff...

i told the truth.
people in that crowd can ridicule the situation, or my “too long won’t read, it’s incomprehensible lol” writing on it... it doesn’t change that this was wrong.
some of the most awful evil people call themselves journalists here.

an orb that is a starry background with a single eye. "You see... between these shrouded reflections... Death is a moment of timelessness that finally consumes you..."

a dark and ugly looking hallway. "You are what happened to you. You are your pain. Just like the rest of us. You are ugly too... Look at me!"

a dark silhouette of a person upside down, cradling a big heart. "You accepted her offering with a look of "I'm sorry". Sincerely hoping that she would be ok. Empathy is soothing... A strange sort of peace surrounded the space. Her heart felt safe. So did she."

A giant skeleton laying beside a bed of red roses. There's a pinkish curtain of light and various small glowing white particles strewn about the cave. "a rose for every heartbreak beautifully tended"

students are so patient omg 😆😅😭

observation: when you know stuff you just kinda take for granted that you know stuff and completely forget the very difficult journey you yourself had when you where getting to the point of being good enough at something.

after teaching gamedev in unreal i have a whole new level of respect for students. learning things is hard. 🥲

Now what I really need is a farm of these that will feed the slopbots bad data to corrupt them so that they, for example, think Taylor Swift is early 20th century avant garde opera like Wozzeck and feeds that to people

i’m trying to collect them for a resource but they’re hard to find because it’s shared just word of mouth…

🧐 being pedantic: then shouldn’t they be called “all person shooter”? also it’s invalidating to shooters where you shoot at other things, not necessarily people, so they really should be called— 🧐🧐🧐

i remember this observation making waves in the doom modding community sometime around the release of jp lebreton's ARCADIA DEMADE wad project or not too long after, at any rate, so, early '10s ish? and then it never diffused beyond the subculture, for some reason. but you can feel it in myhouse.wad

lol thanks for sharing! this is interesting to hear.
