But that doesn’t offer us much protection from people who do this. Of course, I had blocked Person X a long time ago. Though, not responding possibly pissed him off more. I opted to take the high road and not engage with any of it. He even resorted to contacting a mutual friend to pass on harassing messages. He sent wildly vicious texts and emails saying things like I was a failure and I’d burn in hell. Prior to all of this, Person X had come after me in private. And, with the timing of it all, it was obvious who was behind it. Plus, some of my photos promoting my and the guest writers’ blog posts were reported as “spam content.” The robots couldn’t determine such a thing. I acknowledged their rules and wouldn’t cross the lines. This type of thing just didn’t happen to me before. They always stay up.īut it wasn’t exactly the Insta-biased-robots who were flagging my pictures. Trust me, I’ve tested it by reporting those lady-sex photos. Oftentimes, these kinds of photos get taken down while graphically sexualized photos of women stay up. And most gay users understand that Instagram has a homophobic bias when it comes to male content. Yet, these types of photos are totally within Instagram’s guidelines.Īnyone who followed my account knew that my bare-bodied posts did not have much of a sexual context to them. Anything that remotely implied nudity - like showing my lower hips - got removed. My photos had been getting taken down constantly these days. It also probably helped that I kind of saw this coming. While the weird mix of anxiety, fear, and rage wouldn’t go away entirely, I did successfully avoid exploding all over our ugly chair. I took several long, deep breaths to try to gain some control over my emotions. My head filled with panic, my heart filled with worry, and my stomach filled with anger. I am 100% aware that this is not a priority to anyone, and that there are so many great causes out there that you can support - but any help would be appreciated.Explaining how I felt at that moment is tough. This is not the first time we have had to undertake repairs like this to our beloved shop - but as you all know, we are living in extremely difficult times. Our interior insurance policy doesn’t cover damage caused by an I repaired exterior issue.
The nature of our lease means that since the damage is technically internal the landlord will not consider allowing us to claim on the buildings insurance, even though the damage has originated from lack of exterior maintenance, which is their responsibility. This has frozen, expanded, ruptured the pipes and then melted causing flooding to destroy internal walls, flooring, ceiling boards and generally make a mess of things.
Heavy snowfall has covered the roof and an accumulation of exterior debris (which has built up over years and the landlord assured us would be removed) has blocked the opening to the covered Victorian guttering in the roof space this has then caused the water to sit in the old lead piping inside. The studio building was built in 1835 and needs regular repairs. We’ve had no really help from the government. Renting a studio in Newcastle city centre is expensive. Just like every other tattoo crew out there, me and the rest of the artists at my studio have been hit hard by covid and the subsequent lockdowns.
