Christians are abusing and terrorizing each other in their homes and churches every day, but sure, let’s talk about how meditation is of the devil

It was 4 months after he left that I stopped feeling guilty for every headache, and fear with every shower. After 8 months I felt arousal again for the first time in years, and a full year before I felt safe in my own bed. It wasn’t menopause. It was him.

I was 33 the first time he told me it must be early menopause. I said no it couldn’t be. He said his sister said it could be. I never asked myself why he was talking to his sister about us. I only apologized and said I would try harder. And I did. I tried and tried and tried.

Swifties are lowercase maga.

Before you try HRT, try divorce. I didn’t have menopause. I had symptoms of menopause because I was being traumatized by my husband.

If you divorced an abusive husband I hope you’re talking to people about what he did. There are women going through the same thing and don’t know it’s abuse.

All I got out of my marriage was out.

An abusive man’s favorite word is but.

But you said no last time.
But women do it too.
But men need sex.
But you’re my wife.
But if you don’t, I’ll cheat.
But I did the dishes.
But what did you do?
But what was she wearing?
But she was 18.

Telling a woman she can give a baby up for adoption as an alternative to abortion is like telling a rape victim, “what are you crying about, he’s not raping you anymore?“ 

She still has to live with the trauma.

“But that’s not legal.”

The law is a love poem without someone to enforce it.

Men who prey on women wouldn’t be caught dead dressed as one.

I don’t have the energy to spare for Taylor Swift’s music but I will say, from what others are sharing of her lyrics, I’m pretty sure men are not a good muse for her.

I know I’m early
But I had no reason to wait
We said we’d meet at nine
But lover take your time
A lot can happen before a date

I don’t mind being early
Time is only a farthing
The table is dressed
The coffee is pressed
And I’m busy watching the starlings

Much like the onion, SNL isn’t funny anymore because it’s real now.

How Long Does it Take to Get Over Someone? What does it really mean to get over someone? Is it about time, distance, or something more?

Talking about what “over them” means. open.substack.com/pub/natlajun...

Apparently this is a hot take, but I don’t believe you’re a girls girl if you have conditions on what makes someone a girl, or whether or not you support them

Everyone is deleting tiktok accounts. Be kind to us for awhile. It’s not an easy thing to do. Some of us have made over 20,000 videos on that app.

Either he’s a liar and a jackass or he’s an idiot and a dingbat. In 30+ years using the internet I’ve managed to get my birth date right every time.

When I use voice-to-text, Neurotypical is capitalized and neurodivergent is not.

The ONLY reason this man is still president is because everyone with the power to remove him wants him there.

People don’t recognize abuse in their relationships because their family abused them first and they thought it was normal

Charlie Kirk has asked that no one have empathy. I think it’s the least we can do for him.

A chess piece was just moved and there are a few more turns.

A list of “he didn’t force me but” notes. I’m working on compiling them for a guided journal about sexual coercion for women healing from this particular abuse.

Sometimes when I see somebody being a real tool in the comments, I think it’s a nice courtesy to remind him, “this is the kind of thing that gets you handcuffed to a roof in the walking dead.”

I’ve been shifting away from TikTok all year, but it has been my “home” online for 5 years. It’s sad to let it go, but it’s not safe there anymore. I’m putting my energy into Substack and Patreon now (lots of free content still), and will be posting a little less on social media.

The moon is an 🍊 tonight

Epstein in witness protection would be something else, wouldn’t it?

A man just told me “getting told no did some damage” on a post about women being rejected for saying no.

Women: coerced, abused, raped
Men: bummed they don’t get laid

What if the way to turn it around is to start focusing on the world we want and not the one they created through us and our collective imagination
