An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
This question is only for people who used to be ashamed of their scars but no longer are, not for people who have always felt positively or neutrally twords them.
How did you learn not to be ashamed of your self harm scars? What made you feel better about having them?
A lot of encouragement and acceptance from family and friends after expressing my feelings. They understand that it is part of me even when I didn't quite yet. I still get nervous after wearing long sleeved stuff/pants in winter all the time and it gets warmer.
I guess in the end I just had to accept that the damage was done and irreversible. And I was done torturing myself more by wearing long stuff during hot days, we already suffered enough. Sometimes I look at them and still get sad about the fact that I did this to myself but also proud cause they really do mean that I survived all my bad days so far. They really just are battle scars in the end of the day.
Also a lot of people are more respectful about it which helps a lot but I still get those dumbass people that stare at them and then later text me if everything is okay and they are always there for me (Mind you, they are scars and not wounds). I know they just wanna be nice but it is a 0 braincell move, ngl.
Sorry about the rant there lol.
