When an abuser senses they are losing control, they will often retaliate in harmful ways. If you or a loved one are considering leaving an abusive relationship, help is available near you: sccadvasa.org/get-help

FYI: These puzzles are pretty tough.

If you or someone you know is being abused, call the National DV Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). #DVAM

October is #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth, but the reality of intimate partner violence extends far beyond these 31 days.

As headlines and soundbites fill the news cycle, let's stay focused on what really matters: the lived experiences of survivors in all our communities.

🎃 For #Halloween and #DVAM we offer a short quiz:

🧛🏽 "What kind of monster is your boyfriend?"

🌐 jagga.me/monster/inde...

'What kind of Monster is your boyfriend?'

A caricature of the vampire from the Twlight series stands next to this text.

"Your boyfriend is:
0% Abusive
80% Vampire [HIGHLIGHTED]
10% Werewolf
20% Zombie

"It is possible that your boyfriend is a VAMPIRE. Be sure to wear a garlic necklace at all times."

Online quiz from: https://jagga.me/monster/index_en.html

Today I learned that a game I made in partnership with Jennifer Ann's Group has been de-indexed on Itch. A Thousand Cuts is a texting game - no other graphics, no depictions of human forms literally at all - about how hard it is to report sexual assault to Title IX adjudicators at universities.

Jennifer Ann's Group @stoptdv.bsky.social · Aug 13

Not sure where to share and hope this is okay here.

Two of our nonprofit org's free #educational games about #consent are de-indexed. We opened support tickets.

They are *not* adult games. We marked both games as "sensitive content" and "content warning" due to the subject matter.

Screenshots of two games: 'Stuck in a Dark Place', created by Another Kind, https://jag.itch.io/stuck-in-a-dark-place and 'A Thousand Cuts early edition', created by Elizabeth Ballou, https://jag.itch.io/a-thousand-cuts-early-edition. CW: These games include descriptions of sexual violence.

Two more nonprofit games deindexed thanks to all of the "adult games" bullshit going on right now.

I guess it's too adult for teens to learn how to get out of violent relationships.

And to be clear: we marked them so that players would not inadvertently play them without realizing that these games have a content warning on them.

The intention was to prevent re-traumatizing people.

It is ironic that our consent games (to prevent SV) are harmed by a campaign to prevent SV.
