No, I’m fucking not. I’m not your parent. My past-times do not automatically sign me up to act in loco parentis. If you need someone else to monitor your own content consumption online, go get mommy and/or daddy to set up a content blocker on your computer.

Thats alright and thank you so much for answering! I planned on using one for my Twitter profile pic so I’ll be sure to put the credits in as well!

I came across some of your art and I was wondering if you had rules in regards to reposting or using them as a profile picture? I’d rather ask than assume!

I'm so sorry! I just saw your ask!

I don't mind my art being used as profile pic, just with credits pls c:

As for reposting, I'm more comfortable with reblogs here on tumblr, with retweets on twitter, on Instagram I don't necessarily mind reposts as long as they are with credits, but I would rather not have my art reposted anywhere else.

I don't think I have my other socials on here, but I'll be sure to at least put the names in my description as soon as possible.

Thanks for asking! :D

the best thing that we can do right now to fight for abortion rights is donating to your local abortion fund, especially in states with “trigger laws” or laws that will immediately take harsh measures to shut down abortion rights as soon as roe is overturned. If you don’t know your local abortion fund or states with trigger laws, here’s one in Texas, one in Louisiana, one in Georgia, one in West Virginia and one in Mississippi (all states with such “trigger laws”). There’s so many more beyond the handful i just listed here but times like these are the time to donate and support the incredible work that these organizations do for their communities.

I don't want to scare people, but if you are able to get pregnant and you live in a red or purple state in the US, you need to start making an emergency contingency plan for a complete ban on abortion in your state now. It is increasingly likely that Roe v. Wade will be nullified this summer when the Supreme Court decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health is announced, allowing states to set their own laws on abortion. If/when this happens, 23 states have the legislature in place to ban abortion and 29 total are hostile/lean hostile towards abortion and are likely to ban or heavily restrict it, according to the Guttmacher Institute. Only 16 are confidently pro-choice.

If you live in a state that is likely to repeal, are able to conceive, and especially if you are sexually active, you need to have a plan for avoiding pregnancy and a plan for if that plan fails, and the time to make it is now, not this summer when everyone around you is panicking.

Birth control access shouldn't be affected by this decision, but look into longer acting and more effective methods, like IUDs (99.995% effectiveness typical and perfect use) and subdermal implants (99.995% typical and perfect) over things like the pill (99+% perfect, 91% typical) or condoms alone (98% perfect, 82% typical) that are less effective and easier to lose access to, and use both a barrier method like a condom and a hormonal method if you can. Planned Parenthood has a list of methods sorted by effectiveness here. Plan B lasts about a year, and is considered effective for 72 hours after sex but drops exponentially in effectiveness as time passes: if you don't reliably have a spare $50 and access to a pharmacy that stocks Plan B or ellaOne, buy a back up Plan B when you're able to to ensure you can take emergency contraceptives as soon as possible for the best results.

Start tracking your cycle now: medication abortions are the only ones that can be self managed and are only possible up to 11 weeks after the start of your last period. Not after conception, after the first day of your last period. The effectiveness of medication abortion drops after 8 weeks pregnant, and some sources will say it's only effective up to week 10. If your next period is late and there's even a miniscule possibility you could be pregnant, take a pregnancy test immediately (the dollar store ones are the same as the expensive pharmacy tests). Don't wait to see if it shows up a couple weeks late or if next month's comes: by the time you reach your first missed period, you're already considered 4 weeks pregnant, and you need as much time as possible to coordinate an out of state abortion or a self managed abortion. Waiting for two missed periods puts you at 8 weeks pregnant, almost at the point where you need to start altering dosages for medication abortion to be effective. Don't cut it that close: it's better to waste a dollar on a test than have to seek out a second trimester abortion.

Have a plan for how you will get an abortion, both within the first 10 weeks and after. For early abortions, you will be able to self manage. Plan C, Aid Access, medicationabortion.com, Women on Web, and Women Help Women can all help you obtain the medications you need or information about how to use them, either by mailing them directly or by connecting you to resources: bookmark these.

For abortions past 10 or 11 weeks, things are more complicated, but they are not hopeless. You need to have a plan, though. Do you know where the nearest abortion clinic in a pro choice state is? Do you know how much that abortion will cost and how you will get that money, both for the clinic costs and the cost of travel, accommodations, and two to four days of lost wages? Do you know if they do in-clinic abortions (the only option after 10 weeks) or just medication abortions? What's the latest they can go? Look into local abortion funds or access support organizations. More will emerge as need increases, but scoping them out now will save valuable time and give you peace of mind. Some of the resources linked in the last paragraph may be able to help connect you as well.

Again, I'm not trying to incite panic here, but things are not looking good when it comes to abortion access in the United States, and you need to be prepared. Time is of the essence when it comes to abortions, even without restrictive bans, and having information and a plan before you lose access and especially before you get pregnant buys you time.

I really do appreciate the tips! I think getting de-motivated is the main reason why I dropped it prior but finding something I’m really interested in I feel like has started the fire up again. Thank you for taking the time to answer and give me these tips, I feel words can’t really begin to describe how grateful I am!!

Hello! I’m sorry if you’ve ever answered this before but I couldn’t seem to find it. If you don’t mind me asking what do you use to translate? I wasn’t sure if it was done with a specific app/program or not. I recently bought some kareshi and I know people have posted their own translations of some of the ones I bought but I’d really love to translate them too! So any tips or tricks would be helpful! I don’t really know much Japanese and my knowledge of it is extremely limit.

Hello!

I don’t use any specific programs/apps to translate; I can read Japanese just fine! (๑•∨︎•๑) Sometimes, I struggle with some unknown kanjis and those cases I tend to rely on jisho.org. For unknown words my online dictionary of choice is goo.

Honestly, my best tip is to keep studying and improve your Japanese skills. Relying on programs and apps to do the translation part for you is ill-advised, especially if you plan on posting those translations for others to see, and even more so if you don’t inform them of your use of machine translations (although it’s not as “bad” with the Kareshi anthologies since they don’t contain official canon material anyway so there is no real risk of spreading misinformation). (;´･ω･｀)

While machine translations like Google can help you get the gist of the story, it is imho not accurate enough to use it to properly translate stuff for others to read. A machine translator is not capable of grasping context, nor can it distinguish nuances, tones and intentions. Also, I’m not sure how well those translation programs fare with SFXs, informal speech and slang. And don’t even get me started on wordplays and puns...

Of course this is just my personal opinion, and I can neither stop you from posting machine translations nor do I intend to gatekeep anything here! but perhaps it’s a good idea to have a beta reader with a decent grasp of the language at least?

tl;dr: Machine translations are unreliable, but fine if you use it privately for yourself. Do not use those programs if you plan on posting those “translations” for others to see (especially if your knowledge is extremely limited as you claim since you‘d have no idea whether the translation is completely off or not), or at least have the courtesy to inform your readers about it.

Thanks for sending me the ask!

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer this. I really do appreciate it! It’s definitely a language I wanted to pick up learning again so it was something I thought would be fun to translate and also weirdly enough help me grasp the language better? If I did decide to share I definitely would give that heads up or even just like you suggested using a beta reader who has a farther grasp of the language than I do. All of this is definitely something I’m going to take and keep in mind! I think for now I would do the beta reader or even just keep what I translate to myself until I have a better understanding of the language so I can make corrections as I learn!

the thing about bo burnham's inside is that. you as an audience are the horror that both tantalizes and terrifies the protagonist. the comedy is horrific because the world is horrific and you are the one who keeps on watching. burnham talks repeatedly about performance anxiety, about hating his work, about capitalism and burnout and wanting to kill himself and through it all he keeps working on his performance, a performance that desperately begs you to stop watching even as it compells you to keep going. you are not supposed to be watching this. you are not meant to be here. please stop watching because i don't want to be here, i'm making you laugh because it's the only thing i know how to do, it's the only thing i love doing, but you shouldn't be watching this. i am not more important than the horrors of the world right now. you have to stop watching. you have to stop watching. you have to stop

currently watching the Meghan and Harry interview, as I’ve been a royal watcher all my life thanks to my mom and grandma — for better or for worse.

and hearing Meghan say that she was having suicidal ideations WHILE SHE WAS PREGNANT, asked for help, and was refused it by the institution makes me absolutely sick, especially considering that three decades ago, Diana asked for the same and was also refused. the way that that establishment sacrifices its own royal family members’ mental health for the sake of its “reputation” is vile.

but what Meghan said next is so important, y’all: life is worth living. even when it doesn’t feel like it. so just hold on.
