reblog this if you know that:

rape is about power, not sex

rape is “the penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.” (the definition given by the FBI)

rape by fingering is rape

rape in the anus is rape

rape in the mouth is rape

rape is the fault of the rapist

rape is never the fault of the victim

rape is never asked for and no one is ever asking for it

rape victims are men

rape victims are women

rape victims are transmen

rape victims are transwomen

rape victims are straight

rape victims are gay

rape victims are bi

rape victims are queer

rape victims are white

rape victims are black

rape victims are asian

rape victims are hispanic

rape victims are middle eastern

rape victims are indian

rape victims are aboriginals and natives

rape is the absence of consent

rape is not when the victim fails to say know, its when the victim doesn’t say yes

rape happens in alleys

rape happens at parties

rape happens at homes

rape happens on dates

rape is everywhere, and we live in a culture that lets you defend the rapists and blame the victims.

please reblog guys. this is super important.

I don’t usually reblog things like this to this blog, but PLEASE reblog this. My friend is trying to get all the help she can get with this. Thanks in advance guys.

YES I OWN TWO TYPEWRITERS!

It’s not a problem with the submission box! It’s just that I have 59 submissions to take care of. I turned it off intentionally.

I also haven’t had time to make/post submissions. I apologize.

The reason I haven’t been posting is because Ethan deleted all the asks once he made the posts and therefore I cannot go back to copy and paste all the posts and I’m too lazy and too intimidated by the sheer volume of posts I have to retype that I haven’t been posting.

And school starts tomorrow.

Ethan will be getting yelled at.

cest-mon-histoire:

I am a writer.

I have been a writer my whole life. Words are the only things I have ever believed in. These words… They are a part of me. And they always will be. You can take away everything I own. You can take away my money, my friends and family and strangers I have met once. You can take away my love, my hate, my happiness and sorrow. You can take away my memories, my past and present and future. You can take away my life. You can take away everything.

But you can never take away these words. You can never take away the fact that I am a writer.
