The end of #UnusAnnus was so perfect. Thank you to Mark, Ethan, and the whole team.

@BrittMuzicPsych @JaclynGlenn @KatiMorton Eugenia has made it clear that she doesn’t consider Jaclyn and others her friends anymore even though they literally saved her life. From Eugenias point of view, that’s understandable. But I would much rather my friend hate me than be dead. Jaclyn did the right thing.

@iambekahbooo @JaclynGlenn @KatiMorton I’m hoping she just pretended not to know for the sake of YouTube, but then actually talked to her afterwards. I understand that as a professional, Kati might not want to bring up private conversations with other “clients”, but it does seem disingenuous to most of us.

[Sister Maristine @SisterMaristine]

@Satanqueen_666 @JaclynGlenn @KatiMorton I generally like Kati, so I’d like to think they did talk about it privately without uploading it to not start drama. Im not sure if Kati’s professional boundaries came into play here. But yeah if I was Eugenia I would definitely want to ask Kati about it.

@danielhowell Congrats on being the disembodied voice of Oscar Wilde on @ContraPoints new video. A great achievement.

Was inspired to draw some fan art of @Hugoreloaded. I hope this new journey brings a lot of new joy and comfort in your life. We support you no matter how you look or identify!

When you were a suicidal teen, and now that you’re an adult, people start asking you what you plan on doing with your life.

I just watched @Hugoreloaded and @PapaBirdJake ‘s newest video and now this is in my recommended videos

@JennyFe16887003 @MormonNewsroom @NelsonRussellM It’s also just not a name change. The name has always been the LDS church. They just want to put more emphasis on the official name and distance from the nickname Mormon.

[Sister Maristine @SisterMaristine]

@benmadsen @JennyFe16887003 @MormonNewsroom @NelsonRussellM I agree somewhat. But a grown-ass man taking a 14-year-old girl behind a closed door and asking her how many fingers she uses to masturbate isn’t exactly what I would consider healthy sexual education.

[Sister Maristine @SisterMaristine]

@JennyFe16887003 @MormonNewsroom @NelsonRussellM The media hardly cares about our abhorrent interview practices that leave children open to abuse and suicide-causing shame. They’re not going to care about a stupid name change that isn’t actually a name change.

@MillerDavee @vjzephyr @MormonNewsroom @NelsonRussellM He really does have a hard time making up his omniscient mind. One day he says “thou shalt not kill,” then says “kill all the men, women, children, and animals in the city,” then, “turn the other cheek.”

[Sister Maristine @SisterMaristine]

@MormonNewsroom @NelsonRussellM Really? This is the revelation we get from the so-called mouthpiece of God? And he continues to do nothing to protect children from sexual abuse and shame?

[Sister Maristine @SisterMaristine]

#protectldschildren Everything about one-on-one bishop’s interviews are harmful and abusive. A child should NEVER be alone with an adult behind a closed door. A child should NEVER be asked sexual questions of any kind by an adult that is not their parents or a real professional.

[Sister Maristine @SisterMaristine]

But 14 year old me would not have been able to muster up the courage to say no. Thousands of children wouldn’t have been able to say no. 10/10

#protectldschildren Growing up in the LDS (Mormon) church, you are taught that sexual sins are one of the worst sins a person can commit, right below murder. When I realized at the age of 12 that by masturbating, I was almost as evil as a murderer, I was so ashamed. 1/x

[Sister Maristine @SisterMaristine]

When I confessed again to a different bishop at 18, I was asked a few uncomfortable questions that the bishop had no reason to ask me. Thankfully, I was more mature at that time and I refused to answer his questions. 9/10
