TW ! Graphic descriptions of abuse, trauma and self hate
P 0 R N Ø G R ª P H ¥
One topic I hardly ever see anyone talking about is how harmful pornography really is. I remember when I was still innocent and naive, when my cousin invited me to go watch something with her.
It was strange, new, she never allowed me to touch or interact with anything that was hers. As a child who had been in an abusive home, I was always desperate for attention. I didn't show anything back then when I first saw it, but whenever I remember it I force myself to vomit that negative thing out.
Never, regardless of the situation, regardless of the reasons, should a child be exposed to p_rn0graphy. A classmate from my old school wanted to have s** with me in the bathroom when I was nine. A f_cking nine year old student wanted to have s** with a naïve, newly adapting person of their own age.
Giving a child a tablet just to keep them quiet is a sick and unhealthy way to lead them to their doom. Because yes, porn is accessible as fuck. And for a child that you isolate from the world and from yourself, nothing is out of reach for them to want to fit into a group.
I'm never trusting anyone, I'm never looking at my own eyes on the same way ever again. And it's your fault. It's your fault that I always look to the sides, that I always feel disgust when I look at myself. Because nowhere was I enough. Nowhere have I been as beautiful as the p****tes that old ped_philes like to show their p_nises to.
I hate you all.
Now do me a favor and buy me a mask to hide this freak you made me see as my face. It's the only thing I need. To forget...
To stop looking at YOUR action's consequences!

Hello, my name is Sahar 🇵🇸, a mother of four children. Before the war, my husband and I traveled for treatment and were unable to return. I have a diabetic daughter who needs treatment. I now need your support and donations to save my children from the death of Gaza.. and to get out and provide the daily necessities necessary to stay alive. Now they live in a torn tent on one of the streets, lacking safety, food and drink. Your support and donations, no matter how small, make a big difference in their daily lives. I appeal to you to stand by me. You are my only hope in these difficult, harsh circumstances. Thank you very much. .🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸

PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE A COOKIE RUN KINGDOM CONTENT CREATOR ON TIKTOK!!!
Sadly another YouTube channel has been taking peoples works and posting it as their own. They’ve already stolen multiple videos from famous and popular creators on TikTok, and are targeting even smaller creators as well. I don’t want anything severe to happen but please report or try to find the original creators
This is their YouTube
I wanted to post to spread awareness of another tiktok stealer and I hate seeing people’s hard work being taken as if it was worthless.

Hello, I am writing this post in order to address my own community but also give a heads up to other yandere game devs on Tumblr. This has filled me with deep dread and I feel like it needs to be spoken about at once.
TLDR: There's a community of over 1k people who are seeking real life yandere relationships and planning illegal actions here on Tumblr.
I recently discovered there's a fairly big community here on tumblr of people who are seeking "yandere" partners in real life and/or identify as "yandere" themselves. Part of me is hoping and praying to the gods that it's just roleplay, but the community has "IRL" in its name and there is nothing in its rules indicating that it's roleplay. Some of the people in there are following my blog.
To other devs, I urge you to discourage such mentalities and make it as clear as possible that we DO NOT tolerate this stuff.
To anyone who identifies as "irl yandere" and is following this or any of my blogs, block me this instant. What you are doing and encouraging is abusive if it is outside of a consensual roleplay or BDSM scenario. Purposefully isolating a person from their loved ones, kidnapping them, harming them (again, without consent) is abuse. Get the hell out of my community, you are not welcome here. I will not have abusers use my game or participate in my community. Seek therapy.
There is a difference between exploring a crazy scenario in a game and pursuing said scenario in reality. NONE of the stalkerish, obsessive, overly jealous things Keith and Tenebris do in the game are okay to do to a real person. They are not role models, they are not ideal partners.
And to people who are seeking out "yandere" partners in real life, for the love of god realize that your fantasies will not play out the same in reality. You are putting yourself and all of your loved ones at risk. No matter how much you think you can appeal to a "yandere" or meet their needs, that is still an abuser who may go to extremes one day. There was a damn post in that community asking for advice on how to turn someone against their family. Another asking how to kidnap someone and being praised for it. This is not a joke. Do not invite abusers into your life. It will not play out like your fantasies. You will feel unsafe and violated, you may end up in a very very bad situation that you cannot get out of easily. There is a high chance you may lose your life when the abuser decides they can't have you to themselves any other way.
And to those of you in my fandom who are well in the head and aware this is nuts, please report this community if you come across it. The age of entry was 16, SIXTEEN YEAR OLDS ARE IN THERE LOOKING FOR ABUSERS. I cannot stress how fucked up this is.
I really really really hope I just somehow didn't pick up that this was all roleplay. I hope I didn't just witness someone trying to plan out how to kidnap a real person. Please just let me be a clueless idiot.

HELP A FAMILY FROM GAZA - Make a difference today 🍉🍉
" I am Randa from Gaza, I am 21 years old, my family and I consist of 6 people, I was studying accounting at my university and my brother Zidane and I lost our university, and I was happy with my life until October 7, we moved to the south with difficulty, me and my family, walking on foot, it is impossible to forget this day, it is engraved in my memory, the bombing was over our heads and we were just people, we just wanted safety, and when we arrived in the south, unfortunately our life was very difficult, we lived the winter and summer in the south, the two seasons are more difficult than each other, in the winter we do not sleep from the bitter cold, and in the summer we do not sleep from the heat of the tents and the difficulty of transportation and obtaining water, no safety, no cleanliness, I lost my home, I lost my university, I lost my friends, I am very tired, I want help and to have a safe and clean life, please help me, my family and I are in danger, we want safety, I am tired of this life, bombing, destruction, starvation, high cost of living, I want a safe life, all of you are able to help me towards a better life and complete my educational path, please do not leave us alone, we love life, I want peace. "
That is a desperate plea from Randa ( @randasobh23 ), from Gaza. She is a human being just like you and I, who is tired and just wants saftey and peace, she loves life, and does not want to lose her only because she is Palestinian. Like any person would be, she is tired of living through genocide, she is tired of living through pain and seemingly endless suffering. She has no safe home to return to, to education or stable future to look forward to, and no certainty, the the occupation is violent and unpredictable.
Please, read this and see her as a human just like you, with complex thoughts, experiences and emotions - going through pain and suffering like no other. If you have the means to help her, please donate what you can. Any contribution will make a difference. You should donate to helo her regain stability and move on to a normal life - and help afford the basic needs of living in Gaza. Please - help her. In any way you can. Share, don't let her message go unheard.
3% OF GOAL RAISED. That is not enough for sustainable living in Gaza. Have some humanity and compassion.
Welcome to the story of a young man who struggles and fights for survival💔
This is a picture that means a lot to me. I am Jihad Al-Hamaida. I am 17 years old. I am a young man whose life has been completely destroyed and torn apart. Every day I ask myself, "How long?" Isn't what has been happening to us for more than 18 months enough? I swear to you that I am fighting and wrestling with the world in order to survive. Every second I live, I fight myself and my body. Do you know that in this war, I am not alone? I am fighting for my family, whom I am trying with all my might to defend and be a support because my father was injured at the beginning of the war. My mother was pregnant. My brother's son has a disability in his body. His condition often gets worse, but I am still struggling to get us out of the Gaza Strip with the wounded. We will be accompanying my father and brother. In order to do that, we have to collect a lot of money so that we can get out now. I have a lot of hope to get out of this nightmare that we have been living for a long time. Donating for me means saving me from the war. I cannot wait much longer, as I trust you with your support. You are the light that I need. Your donation will save us. Your donation will save an
entire family full of stories
These photos are from before October 7th. These photos can be repeated again. We can fight to restore these laughs. We can restore the dreams, ambitions, and life of my family. Can you imagine that? Can you imagine that you can bring that back just by sharing my story and donating for me? My love is priceless, and my family's life has no specific price, but this was imposed by society in these painful circumstances. I will not explain to you how many people I lost. I will not tell you that my house has become a ruin. I will not tell you that the stone factory was destroyed. I will not tell you that we suffer from the cold. I will not tell you that I tremble with fear every night. I will not tell you how difficult it is to provide some food. I will not tell you how many diseases I have contracted. This is all just some of the suffering that has become just an image that you see, but you do not know how painful it is to live it. I am in front of you, screaming with all my energy. At this moment, I am screaming to you with all my energy. Donate, spread the word, fight for me. I need a lot of strength from you to live again. This stupid program is deleting my accounts, so I am tired of this matter. Please help me before it is too late🥹😭

Saftey and security should not be hidden behind a pay wall, but that is a reality in Gaza.
"I don't know if these words describe the horrors of what colonialism is doing to us: hunger, fear, displacement, and killing. Do you know that we feel death every second? Do you know that time is passing? We are still living the nightmare every day. I wonder, will we die? No one will know about us? I am truly tired. My soul has become destroyed and worn out. In order for me to describe the horrors of what is happening, I would have to write a story that would take 18 months to recount the horrific memories that are happening to us. Please contribute to spreading my story. My family and I can survive. My family and I can travel. My sick brother, who has become disabled, can be brought back, and my father can be treated. Please hold my hand and fight for me. If I get out, I can take my high school exams after they were refused in the Gaza Strip, depriving me of an education for two years. Please provide me with a way. I deserve this opportunity. My campaign has been documented
I deserve this opportunity. I hope you will donate. My life is in your hands."
-@jihedalhamaide , who has asked me to share his story.
In Gaza, people are subject to degrading and dehumanising conditions every single second. They are forced to witness and experience things their minds cannot even comprehend, let alone cope with. No Palestinian will come out of this genocide the same. If the litteral genocide isn't enough for you to take action, I fear to imagine what will. They don't know if they'll be alive tomorrow, THEY DONT KNOW IF THEYLL BE ALIVE TOMORROW. Helping I so easy, it only takes a few minutes to just donate to share, do their lives not matter to you? If you are able to donate and do not, I honestly don't know what to say to you.
Its simple, he dosent ask for much - only put a few into his fundraiser. What's you may spend at a coffee shop is crucial to him. Don't leave him in the dark, instead be a light, a beam of hope.

My first awareness post yippee (also enjoy my silly lil drawing of Derpy)
This is about a neurotypical phenomenon called inspiration porn (no, it's not actual porn). Inspiration porn is when neurotypical people romanticize disabled people in a piece of media. I have seen this in the movie The Unbreakable Boy (watch I'm Autistic, Now What's video on that movie on YouTube). They basically treat being autistic as this miracle and a blessing. From my experience as an undiagnosed autistic person, autism sucks to have for me. Inspiration porn isn't just targeted at autistic people though. It's targeted at people with all kinds of disabilities, physical and mental (for example, those people that romanticize BPD, depression, etc). About The Unbreakable Boy, they make it seem like having autism equals enjoying life 24/7 and all that jazz. The actual person that this movie/memoir is based on was at the premier. He was constantly cut off while he was speaking and wasn't physically handed the microphone (they just held it out for him to speak into, and maybe he didn't want to hold the microphone and that's perfectly fine). He even said his life was almost nothing like the movie/memoir. The actor that played him doesn't even get enough screentime and this movie isn't even about him. Both the movie and the memoir are about his dad. If you want to learn more about The Unbreakable Boy and why it's problematic, please watch I'm Autistic, Now What's video on it. They explain it really well.
And since this is an awareness post, let's talk about the countries and groups of people that are experiencing genocide and ethnic cleansing (trigger warning)
PALESTINE 🍉: Palestine is the #1 country in the world with the most child amputees. Israel is getting even more savage on Ramadan.
SUDAN 🇸🇩: Women and children in Sudan are getting brutally raped every single day by the RSF. Women are too frightened to go outside because of that.
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO 🇨🇩: Literal babies in The Congo are mining coltan, a material used in most technology. Babies in The Congo are also being sold in bags.
UKRAINE 🇺🇦: The US cut off humanitarian aid for Ukraine because of Tronald Dump. They are still being bombed by Russia.
LEBANON, SYRIA, AND YEMEN 🇱🇧🇸🇾🇾🇪: Israel is also bombing these countries.
AFGHANISTAN 🇦🇫: Girls' education in Afghanistan is ended when they're 11. Women can't even be seen in windows because of the Taliban.
UYGHUR MUSLIMS 🫐: The Uyghur Muslims in China are being detained in concentration camps. Their culture is slowly being erased by China.
IRAN 🇮🇷: The Iranian government reduced the age of consent from 16 to 9.
DEPORTATION OF IMMIGRANTS IN THE US 🇺🇸: Tronald Dump is even deporting legal immigrants to "help clean up America". They are also building concentration camps for those immigrants.
⚠️ Security Warning ⚔️
I vet these kinds of "mass threats" carefully, a lot of the time they are fake, but unfortunately these are very real. I have personally talked to a victim of this group of people myself. I'm not even sure if she is OK right now.
There are a group of doxxers / hackers going under some name UTL trying to target the Gacha Community, or anyone they can get a hold of.
I haven't experienced this myself, but from the victim I spoke to:
If you click on a link from them or friend them, they will get some kind of access to your account.
They somehow install an Integration onto your account which allows them to add you into their servers -- probably 25+ of them is what I saw
Once you're added into their servers they will target you / threaten you / blackmail you if you leave.
You'll need to work for them (aka, dox other users and threaten others) if you don't want them to doxx your information on X or 4chan.
They will also target users of ANY server that you're added to and your friends list. Or they will force you. We don't wanna know which
The staff have banned as many accounts as we could get ahold of (we need User ID to ban people outside of the server), but they haven't actually gotten us on their list yet, and who knows how many accounts they actually have.
We want to warn you to stay careful about your information and what you send & click on the Internet. If you're concerned, we simply advise turning OFF your friend and DM requests, don't click on links from users that you don't know, and turning on 2FA. You should already know this, but DON'T FRIEND ANYONE YOU DON'T KNOW!!
If you keep your account safe and stay alert, you'll be doing the best you can to stay safe :)
This following link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCKzUf5y-ik is a video better describing the situation.
Love from y3llowx! 🙏
Please be all careful !
The users to avoid are named UTL or Blalama8
The server is called Celestial cafe
Do not enter in this server or accept friend requests from them
Here is the server to avoid
Please share my post so people could avoid being doxxed !
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, which is something I feel incredibly strongly about. So lets talk about warning signs & statistics shall we !!
1 in every 4 young girls in the will be sexually assaulted in their life time.
1 in every 6 young boys will be sexually assaulted in their life time.
1 in 5 grown women will be sexually assualted in their life time.
1 in 71 grown men will be sexually assaulted in their life time.
Nearly 1 in every 10 victims, their perpetrator was their relationship partner. NO means NO. Even in a relationship, consent needs to be expressed CLEARLY and WITHOUT coercion.
In 8 out of 10 rape cases the victim is known to and either aquatinted with or related to their perpetuater
Rape is the MOST undereported crime, 63% of sexual assaults go unreported & 12% of child sexual abuse cases go unreported.
81% of women & 35% of men who are sexually abused report it having extreme long term effects on their lives.
The cost of healthcare for sexually abused women is 16% higher than men.
SEXUAL ABUSE IS NOT UNCOMMON.
Physical warning signs in children
- Genital pain or itching
- Extreme night terrors
- Frequent stomach illness
- Loss of appetite & trouble swallowing
- Frequent UTIs
- Torn, stained, or bloody undergarments
Behavioral warning signs in children
- Fear of going to sleep
- Fear of certain people or places
- Age regression
- Abnormal interest in sex or sexual behavior
- Bedwetting, especially in the case of a child in which this is abnormal
- Using new words for their private areas
- Sudden mood swings (rage, fear, withdrawal)
Unfortunately, signs of sexual abuse in adults can’t always be clear, just as it can’t always be clear in children. Please keep an eye on ALL of your loved ones. Make sure if your friend is going out on a new date you have his/her location & you know their plans. If your children are going to a friends house, please take the time to get to know the parents. If your children express discomfort or discontent with a relative, please do not force them to be around them.
Sexual assault can happen to ANYONE, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE. If you or someone you know is struggling with lasting mental health effects from sexual abuse please reach out to someone.
National Sexual Abuse Hotline: 1-800-656-4673
