Graphic Designer shithead from Seattle
Hear hear. Fuck my boss too. My workplace is nutty. Currently the general big boss of the region is on a tirade firing everyone who questions any decisions upper management makes and then hiring on-call workers to replace them. At this point almost half of the workers are completely untrained and we all have to train them without extra pay, or make up for their mistakes otherwise we can get targetted for audits. Office work is abusive as fuck.
Thanks for the link. This sounds useful
Thank you for sharing. Its tough talking about these things even on some random forum.
Similar situation happened to me as well. Relatable that the actual assault is seemingly less harmful than the reactions/treatment that follows.
CW: SA story
___ In my specific story my girlfriend at the time (early 20s) started actively cheating on me with a man who lied about his age but turned out to be in his mid 30s. She would have him over at our place a ton and do increasingly degrading things to me around him to get off on it.
Me, being in love and severely depressed after my cat died, didnt really voice my concerns out of fear of being left alone during a very bad time. Eventually the behavior got strictly sexually degrading, but we eventually broke up when my depression made it so she wasnt feeling empowered by taking advantage of me anymore.
When I finally came forward and told my friends/mutuals what had happened, it turned out she had already painted me as the sole abuser in the relationship and that I was going insane. So many close friends stopped talking to me and I only started to get opportunities to say my peice years later when my story hadnt changed and old friends bothered to actually hear me out
The worst aspects were bad faith interactions with women telling me that it couldnt have been SA because I was a man, or that since she was my girlfriend it couldnt have been traumatic.
People are much more understanding now when I talk about it and I’m in a much better place overall.

Lmao shit that sounds about right. I mostly post art and lurk, but I’ll go brush up on those rules just in case
Straight up some comment on Bluesky mentioned it amongst all the recent bans. So far it seems like the kind of old internet vibes I enjoyed about early reddit and digg with a progressive focus. Very cool.
Thank you for the nice comments!! 💖 I’ll share some more of what I got in another post sometime soon
Had to leave a discord server I was a regular in because two members always argued with me on this.
The basic arguments they each always had was:
Both were hardcore Harris supporters who also blamed me for letting Trump win by voting third party. Go figure.
