I loooooove getting rejected. People should reject more. It's the "maybes" and ghosting that's just like too much. A firm but polite "no" is infinitely more respectful of everyone's time and feelings. Can we just do that?
You guys know this is a pretty normal human want and not a special accomdation to be saved for people with autism right?

Apparently there's an issue now with therapists quitting in droves. I feel like this is downstream of the fact that society has hit the limit of our ability to offer individual solutions to collective problems.
so embarrassing when i forget im checking someone's blog and i start scrolling through and liking and reblogging shit as if it's just my dash. it feels like wandering into someone else's apartment and not noticing and making myself lunch
reblog if i can wander into your apartment (blog) and make myself lunch (like and reblog as if it's my dash)
something I haven’t seen mentioned much is Dolly being childfree. We have so few lauded childfree women in positions of power. The connotation of childless women as selfish, cold, and cruel…and Dolly was the complete opposite and gave so much to underprivileged youth…she was and will always be a beacon for independent women, who live and love on their own terms. And she never had children…she said we were all her kids instead…

Oh no I did notice the Gender X logo, I part time a sex shop and recognized it as the brand we supply our packers, binders, and harnesses from- just wasn't sure if they also do porn or if this was like. Some other deal

yknow I'm feeling a bit brave so I will venture to say what this blighted essay's pitch actually is: reading project hail mary (novel and film) as a ravishment fantasy. in both main threads of the narrative grace is brought wildly out of his element and pulled into the orbit of a mysterious foreign stranger who is significantly stronger / richer / more powerful than him, forced to accept unsolicited lavish gifts and personal praise despite protests and discomfort, and made to live in isolated locations in extremely close proximity to these people with no say in the matter, all of which are common motifs in ravishment fantasies. on her own, stratt also brings in other common motifs of restraints, drugging, being above the law, multiple kidnappings (I'm doing crazy things with the classical definition of "rape" as in "abduction" and its shared etymology with "rapture" as in "being taken to the heavens"), and the very specific yet still common motif of "otherwise trustworthy partner goes too far and doesn't take 'no' for an answer." rocky on his own brings in the overprotective flavor common to a lot of dark romance novel heroes, i.e. "I make sure you sleep and I like to watch you while you do it, I make sure you eat enough even if you've got baggage about it, I make inhuman displays of strength when you're injured, and as long as I'm around I'll make sure nothing bad ever happens to you ever again."
the issue I was running into with researching this a few weeks ago is that almost all of the scholarly writing on the content of people's forced-sex fantasies focuses solely on women's fantasies and starts with the research question of "why would women enjoy imagining such a horrible misogynistic thing?" despite surveys often showing that men have force-fantasies (where they are the one being forced) at very comparable rates to women. my hypothesis for a bit was "either men's fantasies are exactly the same as women's or they're completely different in [x] way," which was disproven interestingly when I did finally find something about men's force-fantasies: in content they are almost exactly the same as women's fantasies but the emotional motivations are often different in [y] way, which I hadn't expected. and [y] also super applies to my buddy ryland, perhaps even more than my original [x] hypothesis.
my hopes for writing this are twofold: a) to address the question I sometimes see phm audience members come away with of "if grace likes his life by the end and doesn't seem that mad about all of that, is the message supposed to be 'violation of bodily autonomy is good, actually?'", and b) to lightly resist one of the prevailing notions in the study of forced-sex fantasies, that ravishment fantasies are solely abstracted and fantastical and pleasurable and are completely 100% separate from fearful paranoid imaginings of / flashbacks to realistic sexual violence.
oh also: the most common interpretation of why people have ravishment fantasies is that it allows the fantasist to disavow a desire they feel ashamed of because, in the fiction of the forcing, they don't *want* it at all, they're being made to do whatever it is and can't be considered at fault. as I allude to in my final paragraph of the original post, I think it's a tad more nuanced, but there's definitely a lot of truth to that. grace can tell stratt that he's not smart or important or capable or brave or selfless enough to do what she wants, but she'll ignore it, make him do it anyway, and kit him out with skilled staff members and expensive lab equipment and coffee just the way he likes it. it's a fantasy of being respected and heroic and good whether he likes it or not.
with rocky, the fantasy is of being forced to be loved and protected. rocky decides to initiate contact, he decides that he's moving into the hail mary, he decides that he's always going to watch grace sleep even if grace says he doesn't need it, he decides to gift grace the fuel to get home even when grace pretends he doesn't want it, and he decides he's not going to let grace die to save him even when grace says he's made his choice. the two scenarios allow grace to experience the rewards of being selfless without needing to be so gauche as to ever say he thinks he's that good of a person AND to experience the rewards of being selfish without saying he thinks he deserves to be cared for.
tangental but there's something in this particular type of ravishment fantasy (and bdsm fantasy in general) where the situation and/or multiple characters are weight-bearing in the removal of agency, so that one or more "ravishers"/"protectors" are exempt from fault for the whole of the victim's/sub's/ravishee's disempowerment.
in project hail mary, we have a three-way structure for grace's situation: there's stratt, who does the heavy work of stripping grace's agency; rocky, who happens across grace and picks up certain power dynamics left lying around so to speak; and the situation itself, wherein grace is marooned in deep space, busting his ass to save his planet and people, and needing rocky's help.
this can be a major dynamic adjustment to the nature of the fantasy, because it changes the morality displayed by, and available to, the power-wielding character.
rocky didn't engineer the potential ruin of two worlds to get grace into his power. rocky didn't kidnap grace from his homeworld. rocky just steps into the shape of power made available to him. if he had gone to earth and kidnapped grace, if he had been stratt as well as himself, the dynamic between him and grace would have been vastly different, in ways that would make the fantasy better for some people and worse for others.
(by the same token, stratt isn't rocky; she engineered his kidnapping and the stripping of his life from him, and was not awaiting him in deep space with a gilded cage)
(and the star-dimming plague itself is, of course, nonsentient and neither has functional blame nor takes part in the "reward" of owning and keeping grace)
this dispersal of responsibility allows for the captor-character to be worth more trust from the captive; to be good, which has value to some people's fantasies in this regard.
it's the same abstraction of fault that we see at play in many hierarchical scenarios commonly used as the setting for both bdsm and romance stories: a story where one person holds power over another because they're nobility, or an employer, or a commanding officer, or an enemy, or a teacher, or a government official, or a master of apprentices, servants, peasants, or slaves, or whatever else they might be, all puts a significant amount of responsibility for the subordination of the other person on culture and/or situation, which means the other person is not the sole source of the antagonism.
(this is, I highly suspect, a great part of why fifty shades of grey bothered so many of us: that there was no inherent hierarchy at play, just a man using his own personal power against a woman he dragged into the situation personally; if he were a duke or a space marine or a vampire (yes, I know) in a society that overtly allowed dukes or space marines or vampires to rule over hapless subordinates he wouldn't have shouldered the whole of the responsibility for being, well, him. and that makes him hotter to some people, and skin-crawlingly creepy to others.)
also, as someone whose preferred shapes of bdsm tend to feature quite a lot of this outsourcing of avenues of oppression to the setting and scenario, allowing for a great deal of trustworthiness/goodness/safety in the dominant partner, I find that this discussion has done a great deal of heavy lifting in terms of helping to articulate why I like some things and loathe others.
sorry but if your bed isn’t against at least one wall you’re not valid
I used to think this post was stupid because most people like both sides of the bed free but then I realized some psychopaths put their bed like this so not even the headboard is against a wall and this post is about these animals.
A single person’s bed is generally against 2 walls, a couple’s bed is generally against 1 wall, and people with 0 walls have no fear of the dark/unseen with direct access to their head, and therefore cannot be human.
ok the bed just out in the middle of the room is bad but have you considered: only the footboard end against a wall
no i hadn’t. why would you put that image into my head?
Okay, but how is this
I’m at a loss for words
This was the bed of Thomas Jefferson.
Enjoying the mental image of ol’ Benji Franks doing a Dukes of Hazzard slide across the queen-top to get from one room to the other
…. Do you… do you think that Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin lived together? Were fucking? That Ben Franklin was hanging out in his bedroom.?
I would have found it funny in any case, but the over the top cruelty of “I masturbate when ice kidnaps someone” just makes this so horrifyingly hilarious.
"illegal alien" is a lifestyle now?

I had this one coworker back in the day who was insufferably pretentious.
The problem was that he gave incredible recommendations that were perfectly tailored to my interests.
When I told him some bands I like he said, “So like whiny indie girl music?” I was instantly offended by the summation of my tastes and ignored him the rest of our shift.
Next day he showed up with a flash drive full of music I really really liked and I seethed that despite his arrogance he clearly had a read on my tastes.
Another time he offhandedly told me if I was trying to impress a date I should bring them to a local burger place he suggested.
I didn’t want him to be right but I did want a fantastic burger so I gritted my teeth and proposed the idea to my then-girlfriend now wife. We were absolutely blown away by how delicious it was. Neither of us had heard of it previously but the food was phenomenal.
So I had to once again grudgingly thank the smuggest man alive for the very good recommendation.
