politics @lemmy.world•Congressional candidate is raped while repairing her campaign signs
67·4 days agoI understand the memory block the trauma of rape can cause. My ex drugged and raped me in my own home, in my own bedroom, during my own goddamn birthday party with family and friends just a shout away. Everyone thought I was just super fucking drunk, as I had turned 21 and was drinking heavily. I was drunk, but the drugs I was given in the last drinky ex gave me had me unable to stand within minutes. My ex told everyone he’d go tuck me in so I could rest and everyone thought the last of the alcohol I’d had hit me all at once. He essentially dragged me to my bed and tossed me onto it like a sack of potatoes. I didn’t pass out as quickly as I would have liked. The drugs paralyzed me and I was very much aware of the things my ex was doing, but I couldn’t do a damn thing about it. Thankfully I passed out before he started the penetrative part of the rape. I woke up naked and in awful pain all over, but especially down there. I often sleep nude or nearly nude because I get overheated easily, so I didn’t think anything of it and figured the pain was just a hangover.
I blocked out all memory for five years as a survival mechanism and my mental health tanked when the memories came back. It took another three years for me to seek therapy. All of the evidence is circumstantial, as he wore protection or was just unable to cum. There were no witnesses and no concrete evidence other than my memories that resurfaced, me waking up naked, and the pain.
The mental healing has been so rough. I can’t imagine what this woman is going through. Her experience sounds far more traumatic than mine was. I hope she can get the help she deserves and needs and that the bastards who hurt her get what’s coming to them. I will never get justice for what happened to me, but I hope every other victim can.

13·14 days agoRegistered horse names are so fucking stupid aside from the one racehorse I know named Five. That’s his whole registered name which is so short and honestly hilarious. Oh! Potoooooooo is also great.
He was adopted a while back. ♥️

cats@lemmy.world•Big Man Broccoli Cheddar was snoozing instead of being my helper
15·1 month agoYes. He looked like the full of soup meme when he would have a belly full of milk as a baby. All of the barn kittens this year who let me interact with them have been named after soup. It’s the Soup Squad with Broccoli Cheddar leading them because he’s the oldest of this year’s babies lol

2·1 month agoThank you! I’m devastated over it but I have quite a few people who are helping me prove to the insurance company that the damage came from the tornado. It messed up a lot of my property, but I’m only truly worried about the foundation. I worked so hard to get this place and I don’t want to have to leave. I have options if I have to leave, but I don’t want to. I love my tiny, shitty lil house lol

2·1 month agoI’m questioning my life choices so hard rn. I miraculously got to buy a house, but now the foundation and bottom floor is fucked from a tornado that spawned essentially on top of me and it’ll cost half the cost of the whole house to fix. If my home insurance won’t cover it, I won’t be able to fix it

16·1 month agoMy cousin and his wife want kids but they’re both almost thirty and there’s no way they can afford children any time soon. I feel so bad for them because with how life is going for them, it’s not looking like they’ll be able to be parents. I’m not parent.aterial and the thought of being a parent disgusts me, but it is heartbreaking to the people I care about not being able to achieve their dream of starting a family
I call him by his full name but also call him “buddy”, “sir”, “mister”, and “lil dude”
