Trauma has an extreme effect on the mind & body. It's invasive in every way & takes so much time to work through. Far more than we'd like.
We're not choosing to be 'stuck' I can assure you. We'd love to move on, and we will. It takes time.

They're demonizing SNAP and other recipients of federal aid on right wing media.
Of 21 million federal aid beneficiaries, ~70% work full-time and 39% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. Critics need to ask Amazon and Walmart why they won't pay enough for their employees to survive w/o food stamps.
I looked it up once. SNAP takes 2% of the US budget and 93% of the money goes to the actual poor people instead of to the bureaucracy. So it's kind of like if you paid $1000 in taxes, you spent $20 on the poor of which they got to keep $18.60, and you spent $166.66 on the military.

In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.
Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.
