I thought I was going to come home today and find out everybody got a puppy.

I just wanted to point out that I just had not one, but two posts in a row on ye olde friends list pointing out the exact same thing in regards to the ongoing wank:

Silence does not equal consent.

I'd like to amend that with my own deft touch.

SILENCE DOES NOT FUCKING EQUAL CONSENT. JESUS JITTERBUGGING CHRIST ON A DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION PAD, PEOPLE.

This is me, using my words to communicate.

Stop. Please, just stop. Stop and listen, and try to hear what people are telling you. You are hurting them. They are telling you that you are hurting them. Using their words and everything. So even if it's just for a little while, stop talking. You can always go back to talking later. There's not a statute of limitations or a limit on words. So stop for awhile. The sheer number of people who are trying to communicate to you that your words are hurting them should be enough at this point to show that they've got something to say worth listening to, at the very least.

Also, yes means yes. Just yes. Nothing else means yes. And if someone isn't willing to check themselves long enough to go "wait, I'm unclear... you didn't say 'yes'. Do you mean 'yes'? Because I want to be sure," should take a good long look at themselves in the mirror.

apocalypsos, I'm sorry if you'd rather people not engage harmonyfb in your journal. I can hush now if you'd like.
