Honestly I really need to rant but I’m gonna make this as short as me...
To the grown 40 something year old men who continue to message me inappropriate things: I AM NOT INTERESTED NOR DO I WANT TO SEE IT. I have had this happen to me multiple times and not only does it make me uncomfortable but it’s low key hella scary. I seriously am tempted to leave tumblr because of this. I come on here because I expect to feel safe and be able to be unapologetically myself. But now when I come on here and see these messages all it does is make me feel bad about myself and anxious. I KNOW THAT I AM MORE THAN THIS CLOWNERY AND WILL NOT LET THIS DISRESPECT KEEP HAPPENING. It ends now. (NOTE: This does not apply to everyone it’s just been happening so much lately that I need to get it off my chest.)
Thank you for attending my Ted talk.
I don’t study genocides war crimes and human rights for fun. I study it bc my people have been at the foot from the very first genocide of the 20th century and previous attempts to exterminate my entire race. The fact that no one is speaking up when another genocide is at the brink of occurring to the ethnic Armenians living in Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) is mind blowing. I have to say I’m not surprised by the lack of effort - Americans, especially, are the most self interested humans I’ve met. This isn’t about narrative, this is about rapid belligerent individualism. We can philosophize all day about it but at the end - people don’t give a shit about anyone but themselves. There is rarely any altruism left in this world. As Monte said, no ones gonna fight for us, we will have to fight on our own to survive. The alternative is not an option.

Sometimes you might feel trapped into someone's mind games. Remember you don't have to play, you don't have to win, you don't have to prove yourself to someone so toxic. You can walk away. You can turn your back at them. Block them. Never respond to them. You can protect your mind, your emotions and your life from never ending games by not giving the other person attention. They are not deserving of the energy it takes you to play cat and mouse with them forever.
One of my favorite podcasts of all time… As a behavior analyst/specialist, I found this to be super interesting. Applied behavioral analysis therapy is used typically to help people who have autism spectrum disorders, but have you ever tried to apply it to your own behaviors?
If you’re an authentic person who considers themselves as an empath… you’ll definitely relate to this episode!
