DO NOT SUPPORT SALVATION ARMY 

did you guys see yesterday that a whistleblower came forward and said that facebook knows how to remove the conspiracy theories and nazis but chooses not to because of the ad revenue those kinds of things bring in (and actively turned off the bare minimum safeguards they had when biden won the election), and now today, immediately following this whistleblower’s report: facebook, instagram, whatsapp, and all the sites owned by facebook are mysteriously down and have been down for over two hours now

Today it really hit me that I was groomed as a child

TW; talks of child grooming, sexual assault, and unacceptance from family member (?)

When I was about 5-7 was being sexually abused by my uncle. Classic am I right, little girl getting unwanted touches from uncle. I don't remember much, but what I do remember makes me never want to be with a man. I don't really know, or, remember really, how it started but he would come up to me and ask me if I wanted to play a game. Being five or six I obviously said yes. He then would show me how to give him a hand job and then I'd do it. Then when I didn't want to do that anymore he showed me how to give a blow job. I always hated those more.

When I said the 'game' wasn't fun anymore he'd say he'd give me candy if I did a good job. In my little kid mind all I heard was "candy" so I obviously said yes.

To make sure I didn't say anything he told me that if told anyone my dad would go to jail. It was bullshit and looking back I feel stupid for believing him but barely just learned my 'abc' and he was older than me. I don't think he ever did anything to me but kiss me, but if he did I might have suppressed it. I remember one specific when we passed the room we'd 'play' in and he tried suggesting going all the way, but I knew in my little seven(I think🤔) year old mind that that wasn't ok. So I told him no and went down stairs.

The sad thing is, is that I don't even think he knew he was grooming me. I can't remember how old he was but he was just starting to grow a mustache, and he was about the same age as my aunt who is only five year's older then me. I was told he was about 12-15.

It came out in second grade when I was asking my cousin on the opposite side of the family if something similar was happening to him. He might have been the same age as me(only a couple months younger than me) but he knew instantly that that was not right and told his mom. She obviously told my mom who was obviously upset. I have no idea what happened to him and was never told of he was punished

Todays the first day I've talked about it with anyone since it happened. When I was at school today the topic of sexual assault came up and me and my friend bonded over it I then went home and talked to my my about it for the first time. When it came out what was going on she would ask me what happened, I never told her and I decided I would talk about it with her when I saw her today which I did and she was proud of me. When I went home to my grandma leaving for work she asked what was wrong, cause I guess I looked out of it so I told her. What really upset me was that she just scoffed and asked why I was thinking about that. When I told her why and brought out the fact that it really hit that was being groomed some of her exact words were "you weren't being groomed, he was 12 he couldn't do that!-" "you can't even remember what happened" and she was in the kitchen so it was harder to hear her but I'm pretty sure she said "there were only three times, quit be dramatic." I only heard '-three times quit-' so I think that's what she said.

ANYWAYS- I'm done venting now bye

I think my favorite thing about Kris and Susie both individually and as a duo is that they're fucking TERRIFYING in like different archetypal ways while also being your average idiot teens

Like where else are you going to get a quiet kid with knife iconography who tears out their own soul and whose canon expressions are either deadpan or unhinged with glowing red eyes

Paired with an enormous fucking monster with fangs that can probably be measured in inches and burning eyes and a snout wrinkled in animal rage who can and will destroy anything in her path and at one point threatens to rip our face off with her massive bestial jaws

Both of whom canonically eat moss. And attempt to eat the clothes off a mannequin. And try to fit their entire heads into those dumbass talky tubes. And are just a couple of idiot teenagers who dick around town and accidentally run into your divorced parents in a Walmart and have to just hide in the corner together and try not to hear the absolute trainwreck that's happening like three aisles over

Like. I don't know if I can call it juxtaposition per se, but the fact that they could both easily be villains with their aesthetics and abilities but are also both just head-empty morons.. it's good.
