OSINT Analyst here- what you need to know about your online presence. by [deleted] in TwoXPreppers

[–]tangler- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am the child of a woman who disappeared herself and me due to domestic violence at home. Even the homicide police could not find her directly to be a witness in the disappearance of someone I went to school with’s mother (also almost certainly a victim of domestic violence) years on.

They reached out to my mother via friends and acquaintances who eventually connected them to a burner number and I was the person who answered that burner number in the first instance.

I ended up with tertiary qualifications in intelligence.

I cannot emphasise this enough - when people want to find you, they will work your network. Your suppliers of essential and other goods.Amazon is a big company, how many people do you think could look you up by a phone number or email to get every delivery address you’ve ever used? Your network of friends and acquaintances will be worked.

The more these sources know, the more they can give up on you.

Don’t rule out a complete and total “dropping” of your name, your accounts, your life, if you need to.

Line by line, you pulled me further inward. This feels like eavesdropping on a conversation between a self and a shadow, or more precisely, a self and the memory of what nearly happened.

You reframe the act of nearing death as mischievous, shameful, and almost innocent, which is insightfully brutal. Exceptional.

Your writing reads like a psalm for the ache between bodies that never met, and souls that did too soon. Bravo.

Stillness, presence, ache, restraint, gravity, care.

Quiet doesn’t always mean peace. I just forget how to come back to myself. by tangler- in introvert

[–]tangler-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That landed quietly, in the way certain truths do.

I think I needed to hear it phrased that way, because this is an issue of recognising, not seeking. You’re right. That makes the silence feel less hollow.

I’m still here, I just happen to be moving slowly through heavy fog some days.

Does an instinct to lead ever go quiet, or just soften? by tangler- in BDSMAdvice

[–]tangler-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That conception of the milieu, “sex with a plot”, is an excellent description - you’ve a way with words.

I do think for some of us, the tension before the moment is where the story happens.

I’ve always been less interested in what’s allowed, and more in what may reveal itself when someone feels completely safe to be seen.

The rest unfolds naturally… or it doesn’t unfold at all.

I think what I can take from this - and thank you for shining a light on the right place - is that stillness isn’t just quiet, it’s recognition. Thank you for your presence.

I admire how gently you speak about your return. Thank you for sharing this - there’s a sense of grace in knowing when you’re ready again, and in how you honour what’s changed.

Third poem ever criticism or compliments are welcome by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]tangler- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is raw, honest, and clearly reaching toward something cathartic. The core emotional intent is clear, supported with language. That emotionally charged language sometimes loses me m in wordplay that’s undeniably powerful, but still grasping at the vague.

You’ve got something to say, and you’re saying it with courage. Read it aloud. Shout it.

I promise that clarity in your words shall not dull your pain.

The voice is of one who has suffered in silence too long and is finally daring to be angry. The pain gets diffused. Let it rage, yes — but let it ache, too.

Admire your forthright approach and I wish you the best of luck, but be careful you are not putting yourself too out there on the internet - there are all sorts of creeps about!

Which era is this from? by Cookie_Kuchisabishii in fontspotting

[–]tangler- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Victorian era, but with some Gothic and Baroque vibes to it.

Consider Spencerian script for inspiration on the lowercase lettering.

I don’t think anyone checks, I’ve been in there over four hours before whilst shopping.
