This is the face of someone who said she'd go to therapy since 2012 but instead, found excuses to deprioritize her mental health for seven years. "Don't have time, I'm on the career grind!" No more. Today I went to my first legit therapist appointment and I'm proud of myself. 🎉

It’s so infuriating seeing people defend themselves against accusations by showcasing that the victim was nice to them. Do y’all really think humans are that 2-dimensional? That as soon as an assault/harassment occurs, a light switch goes off and suddenly the victim hates them?

Tweeted about this once and got yelled at by a bunch of guys screaming “preferences” meanwhile lots of Asian women empathized. Someone once told me gamers aren’t ready to have discussions about race yet. Inclined to agree, guess we tackle gender first.
