Cradle Will Rock is still a really good movie

Being real about our vulnerability to triggers builds self-trust. If we're going to realistically, consistently trust & depend on ourselves, we need to know we're not going to blow off triggers because we're ashamed of our vulnerability. Vulnerability is not shameful.

Sustainable trauma recovery means getting real clear & unashamed about what we need in this moment-- whether it's encouragement, a plan, or a hug. Our needs are going to shift moment to moment & trigger to trigger. We've gotta accept & roll w/ them-- no shame.

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

As an anthropologist, if the only thing I ever did all day was remind people that before the privatization and commodification of land humans had way more free time and peace of mind, it would still not do a dent in how deep this myth has burrowed into people's colonized minds like a parasite

On this day in 1886, Lucy Parsons, a Black anarchist born into slavery, marched with her children at the front of one of the largest labor marches in US history, as workers across the country demanded the eight hour day. Two days later, striking workers were shot.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Relating to the world & ourselves in ways that make us feel clear, purposeful, & independent aren't skills that come naturally to abuse survivors, but they're recovery skills we can develop-- IF we're willing to keep coming back to basics & taking baby steps without shame.

i realize the title is a bit counterintuitive but the answer is that you cannot as an individual guarantee your food is safe. we can, as a collective, push back HARD on dismantling food safety regulations, and put pressure on an unpopular administration to keep our food from killing us.

my reaction to this is not "oh Trump's losing it" it's "the entire point of fascism is that the leader declares reality and everyone else has to follow it".

Donald Trump is on pace to deport 243,000 people this year. It’s an absolutely horrifying number, and 79K less than the 322,000 people Obama deported in 2011

You're not having a rough time because you suck. You have strengths & vulnerabilities like everybody. Leveraging your strengths & managing your vulnerabilities means not getting distracted by or invested in Trauma Brain's anti-you bullsh*t. Refocus-- again & again. And again.

Patience is an indispensable trauma recovery tool for the sole reason that changes that "stick" realistically take time & occur in increments. Trauma Brain really wants us to believe we "can't" stay focused & consistent long enough for meaningful change to "take." It is wrong.

People misunderstand compassion & validation as they apply to trauma recovery. They are not warm & fuzzy ways to make "excuses." They are clear eyed, reality oriented tools that empower us to face truths we've been tricked by trauma into denying & disowning for too long.
