Because it's a skill that's missing in our society, here's how to apologize.
1) Acknowledge harm. "I f'd up." 2) State what you did that was wrong, in a way that shows you understand the harm done.
3) Express regret
4) Say what you're going to change to not cause this harm again
5) Listen.
Don't ask the hurt person for *anything.* It's up to them to accept or not, if they choose.
Don't be clever. Be plain & simple.
@witchfynder_finder @ItsMorgan @FirstProgenitor *scream* this is my biggest pet peeve with gritty historical shows. you have all these raggedy ass dirty hairy men, children and old people but every woman between the ages of 14 and 55 is perfectly clean, hairless, with neat eyebrows and Obvious makeup. it's like the showrunners are taking a hammer to their viewers suspense of disbelief lmao

Cloudflare propose depuis le 1er avril (pas une blague) un service de DNS «family-friendly» qui bloque des sites de soutien LGBT, et illustre l’article avec des dessins le dessin d’un couple de femmes.
re: kink, corruption //
I feel like we (broadly, the sex-positive) have gotten to a point where a demon seducing someone into a life of hedonistic debauchery hardly counts as "corruption" any more, and to get that equivalent of that old fantasy you'd have to tell a story about someone put through mindbreak to the point where they tremble in rapturous ecstasy from singing hymns in the choir, and want nothing more in life than to bake cookies for charity fundraisers.
it's the british baking show. this seasons fan favorite is Olwen, daughter of Pwynn, a breton time traveler from pre-roman cornwall. for every challenge she listens to the instructions with confusion, shrugs, takes out a hand mill and a griddle and makes einkorn or barley meal bannocks. they're fucking delicious
The Festival of the Babes is a yearly lesbian soccer tournament held on a rotating basis across a handful of West Coast cities.
The eligibility for participation in the festival is as follows:
“Although primarily lesbian players make up the teams, the tournament is open not only to lesbians, but to anyone who does not mind being mistaken for one.”
I love that inclusive language and I want to use variations of it for everything.
“Although primarily trans women makeup my open video call, it is open to anyone who does not mind being mistaken for one.”
a bug, not a feature.
