A Brainstorm Rant…
I’m awake, when I should be in bed asleep. I’m just gonna brainstorm rant in the open here. It’s not directed at anyone, or any specific group. This community (the whole MAP community, not just fedi, or specific forums) has a problem with activism, or a lack thereof. People are content with the fact that
How can such evil exist?
I can’t even comprehend something so evil, to slaughter, murder, and maim babies and children. My heart breaks for the stories, and images coming out of Israel right now. How can people be so evil? The most innocent, and vulnerable among us, slain in the most horrific and barbaric way. I’m in tears as I
Day of the Girl
October 11 is International Day of the Girl Child, On this day we should honor the girls we love, and remember the struggles that girls face, like bullying, body image issues, hunger, poverty, neglect, abuse, and sexual assault. We should also recognize that girls in other parts of the world face even more issues, such
I can no longer be complicit…
Welp. It looks like it’s time to speak out. I’ve been contemplating how to go about this all day.

This community has given me so much, and I hate to ask for more. As you may know, I was targeted by an anti by the name of Seara Adair who is spreading false information about me. Either Seara or her cronies are still harassing me and my family. This isn’t going to stop unless

My mental health and the state of the MAP fediverse community.
I’m burnt out. It’s been a long time coming. Once I realized I was starting to burn out I tried to make changes to better my mental health, but by then it was too late. Over these past two years, being off work from a traditional job, I dedicated my time to the MAP community.
Survey for women with a sexual interest in children
A MAP In Love is endorsing this new survey for female MAPs by researcher April Coady at the University of Bath in the UK. Some of the questions are unclear, and some make assumptions about the actions of MAPs, however, it does provide a text box to explain your thoughts and provide feedback. This is
Is minor attraction a sin in the Christian faith?
Just wanna address a post directed at me about Christianity and minor attraction. Re: https://poa.st/notice/AYRNjHMZigTZpW1F Dear Bowsac Noodle, First: Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Jesus hung out with the sinners: the prostitutes, the drunks, the corrupt tax collectors, etc. He didn’t hang out with the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Please
