Rape Escape

  • Easy and very effective
  • Requires nothing but your body
  • Includes attack

Very useful to know, pass and share please.

Worth watching

I don’t mean to impose a personal favour on you guys, but I really would like to ask that everyone who follows me reblog this. 

I don’t think I made it very clear but last month I was sexually assaulted by someone who I thought was my friend (I don’t want to talk about it don’t ask), and it’s… really fucked with my head. 

Had I known this a month ago I would have been able to get away

So, essentially, I’m really pleading with you to reblog this so everyone who follows you doesn’t get stuck in the same position I was with no way out. 

I mean again I don’t want the point of this to be my sob story or whatever but if you could reblog this it would seriously mean a lot

Since a lot of tumblr users may not be old enough to remember, I’d like to remind fandom that the ability to write what you want about whatever characters you want was something that we fought for, not something that was ours by default. It was stigmatized, threatened with legal action, and mostly carried out in secret. You are living in a golden age of fandom, of AO3 and fanfiction.net and tumblr. Fanworks are actually entering mainstream awareness and becoming more culturally accepted. But let me give you a blast from the past, a look at what fandom looked like when the content owners decided what kinds of content they would and wouldn’t tolerate. From Fanlore, on the subject of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series:

From Southern Enclave #30 (Autumn 1991): "She [McCaffrey] has her guidelines (no sport dragons; no using her characters in our fiction; no men on golden dragons or women on bronze dragons), and a couple of Weyrs that violated her tenets were closed down because of that (and those Weyrs that allowed silver dragons were told to get rid of them— except for Ista 9)"[1]

In the FAQ list of the newsgroup alt.fan.pern is the following statement by Anne McCaffrey herself (dated October 8, 1992):

"The rules are that my characters may be referred to but not used. BUT there can be no adventure/stories set on Pern at all!!!!! That’s infringing on my copyright and can bear heavy penalties - particularly right now when there’s a film deal (yet another) which has bought and paid for the right to use the material - which, I fear, e-mail users have not. On CIS, I have asked people to limit Pern material to a discussion of their persona and dragons, fire-lizards, etc., in a diarist form. Fanzines have slightly more latitude as the zine is usually mailed only to members so that’s limited publication, and a due copyright notice is included. As there is no such protection on electronic mail, we authors have to be insistent on these safeguards. I know this can be confusing since Paramount and Star Trek are handled differently, but that’s the point: they are, and have been. Individual themes and characters of s-f/fantasy novels are not. And such indiscriminate usage of our characters, worlds, and concepts on a ‘public’ media like electronic mail constitute copyright infringement AND, which many fans disregard, is ACTIONABLE! Both the e-mail company AND the person. My publishers are most insistent on that point! So it’s to safeguard the interested e-mail user that I make these very strong, and perhaps unpalatable points.” from the Pern Encyclopedia

Initially, McCaffrey set out the following guidelines:

  • Fanworks are strongly discouraged outside the approved “fan Weyr” clubs.
  • McCaffrey’s characters are off-limits without prior approval, as main characters, minor characters, or even as background.
  • McCaffrey’s primary setting, Benden Weyr, is also off-limits, as a story location, or even as a point of origin for original characters.

Eventually, however, she relaxed those restrictions, and, after 2004, only insisted on:

  • Fanwork being non-commercial
  • Trademark and copyright notices
  • No pornographic sites “based on [her] literary works”. [5]

When content creators can decide what is and isn’t acceptable in fandom, it can be “no rape jokes” or “no noncon/weird kinks,” or “no porn whatsoever” or “no slash” or “no using my characters.” They are not required to be sex-positive, non-homophobic, or even reasonable. When one content creator gets that power, they will all want it. And they will not all use it in the same way, because our content is created by many different kinds of people. Would you trust Orson Scott Card to have the final say on what should be okay in the fandom for his works? How about Terry Goodkind? J.J Abrams, Steven Moffat?

Fandom as we know it cannot exist with restrictions on what kind of content is acceptable to the rightsholders. That’s never been how we rolled.

Yesterday, the Library of Congress digitized a treasure trove of materials from Carl Sagan’s life—including early Cosmos drafts, NASA proposals, correspondences with Neil deGrasse Tyson, audio recordings, and over 30 minutes of home movie footage.


In lieu of this momentous occasion, they’ve also created a showcase of over 300 historic items exploring connections between the legacies of Carl, Galileo, H.G. Wells, and many others.

I’m still ill. I should take another day off work. Not to mention the roads are all snowy and icy. But I’m going to go to work for some ludicrous reason. Some idiotic stupid ass sense of work ethic.

And the thing is, it’s the fifth of the fuckin month. In my business the fifth is nothing. We don’t really start to work hard until the 11th. The business isn’t there until mid-month because people wait until then to really get on with things.

So I’m going into work to , in essence, sit there and talk about that damn commercial I shot and how I (some would say rudely) cut a lot of people out of it because a) The bit didn’t play and b)okay I cut out one kid because he looked like an asshole and the mom got upset and everyone talked about it on Friday and I was the topic of gossip for a while (which I never am because I steer clear of everything drama like at work).

So why am I going to work?

Because…

Because….

My favorite story April ever told me is when she met someone at a con and they both talked shit about me because they liked my fic I just think about it sometimes and feel warm because people liking your stuff is great but people liking your stuff so much they are angry is actually the most amazing feeling in the world no wonder moffat works so hard to piss us off

It was really amazing too because it was like being in a tiny fandom then finding someone else in that fandom and then you were both angry about the same thing regarding that fandom and you were all yelly and hands wavy and just arghHOW DARE SHE???????

Fuck it. Took the day off.

Okay watching Supernatural.

Reactions beneath the cut since I’ve missed the last two. Will just do it all in one post instead of a faux live blog.

YAY Minnesota!

Bad accent though.

Anyhoo why is she wearing a fat suit?

Oh for a minute I thought that was the Sherlock theme song about to come on.

The guy’s accent is better though.

But still not good. 

Where did they get these people?

SAM YOUR HAIR IS DISTRACTING!

Is that a hex bag?

See how he drops that accent when he gets faux upset? Mark of a truly shite accent. I realize I am the only person who gets annoyed by this but I do. Sorry.

So Dean is drinking breakfast,lunch, and dinner again?

They both look so good in ties sat on their hotel beds. If there was a lovely shot of that it’d be my new wallpaper.

I’m confused by the fat suits in this episode. Bad fatsuits at that. What is happening?

ohhhhh the fat suits are to make it look better when they shrink them…..ohhhhhh okay.

Dean is self-conscious about his age…

Sam’s hair twin from season two.

OMG look at SAM! OH MY GOD! LOOK AT SAM! LOOK AT SAM’S BODY! LOOK AT HIM! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! LOOK AT HIM!

Oh is that the um cop?

Okay that is a tiny bit gross. 

Look at Jared’s legs. Wow.

Oh no poor Dean. Idiot.

Ha. Pudding.image

Oh.

Doug is a dick. Oh no. Please don’t kill her. Please don’t kill the police lady.

Noooo noooo.

Oh.

Oh he didn’t kill her.

her brother right?

HA. called it.

Oh no. “Blanco!”

Okay this is lovely and sweet and I love it.  This is going to be the season of….

NOOOO DOn’t KILL HIM.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Those bastards.

THEY.

crrrrrrrrrry

Fuckin Alonso.

Le cry.

sweet story and then death death evil death.

You’re watching Supernatural.

Why doesn’t Alonso just leave the premises? Seems odd that he’d hold up in the frikkin basement.

This is so stupid.

Why did he stay in the basement?

And of coruse cut off the sucker. 

Gross ass shit man.

Oh no. She’s so alone.

Fuckin Dean. You want to kill Maritza? 

YEAH YEAH! TELL HIM SAM!

I LOVE YOU SO HARD

SUPERIOR WINCHESTER!

I don’t know why she has to go to Peru though.

She built that place with her own two hands.

"I may not think things all the way through"

No, Dean. You don’t think things ANY way though.

YEAH SAM. THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

NO, YOU’RE NOT.

Kevin’s DEAD.

YOU FUCKTWAT.

You did it for you. Only you. (and the tv show couldn’t continue) but yeah it’s all for you.

YESSSSSS

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSs

SAM FINALLY SAID IT!

OH MY GOD HE FINALLY SAID IT!

FINAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYY!

I SCREAMED!

HE SAID IT.

FUCK YES SUPERIOR WINCHESTER!

Best end of episode talk ever. I am so happy Sam finally said it. YES YES YESSSSSSS.

And preview:

Heh looks like a fun one.

Okay overall good episode.
