I saw a tiktok saying "not everyone has to protest, there are other roles in a movement". But then all their examples were like "educator, artist" (things that make one the centre of attention)

I was thinking: what about trauma support????? (& paperwork & all the other hard invisible work)

"I don't think anyone ever went crazy from looking at their pain. People go crazy because they won't look at their pain. It drives them crazy. I really believe that" - David Gabriel, quoted in Safe Passage to Healing

Omg good news! TIL the British False Memory Society shut down last year πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

The American one closed in 2019. Not before it's time, after all the suffering it's responsible for

Tango down!

We saw @delilahbon.bsky.social this week!! Screaming along to this song was our therapy www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2oF...

Still a bit teary. But also happy and safe and feeling love for everyone singing along with us πŸ’œπŸ–€β€οΈβœŠβ€οΈβ€πŸ”₯

We got a bit dissociated but our partner caught us and we came back πŸ₯°

I meant, in Matthew he specifically told a person with "great wealth" to sell everything

...suggesting the early christian cult did not interpret itself as in any way anti-slavery

We can see this got worse the later that biblical texts were written (ref: "The First Paul"). But I think OP is right to say the rot was there from the start

In Matthew 19 he was specifically talking to someone who had "great wealth"

In Luke 12 he was talking more to disciples but in the context of a parable about a very rich person

The Didache gave instructions for how to treat slaves/servants, and taught slaves to submit "with reverence and fear" /1

The nonsense is kinda making me crazy πŸ™ˆ

Do they think the old KJV translation was better? Really? (For anyone looking it up on biblegateway - TW: lgbtq+ phobia, sexism)

Can't we all agree the bible is inherently anti-gay & anti-women? Then move tf on instead of trying to save it??

Why are we running into so many current & former social workers lately? And why are all of them awful people?

Oh, that's not okay :/. They've refused to speak to us for years so I wouldn't know πŸ˜…

Also therapists don't prescribe, so... how would this work??

We're working through a book about healing dissociation

Avoided reading it all day to the point of staying awake till 7am

Read it just now. And you know what? I do feel a little bit lighter for that, it helped

Feels like no-one understands all the shit we've been through. No-one ever will understand. Only bits of it at a time, never the whole thing

I feel really fucking isolated tonight. I don't think anyone even knows half the shit from adulthood, the one who did ditched us because they were a bigot

We've been writing out our whole journey, since childhood, with psychiatrists and therapists. And fuck! It's been a lot

So many people failed us or abandoned us. Processing grief & feeling trapped, seeing our dissociation was not noticed

We never gave up we just keep going somehow

Selections from Hopkins’s Letters Poems, readings, poetry news and the entire 110-year archive of POETRY magazine.

Oh for sure! I'm sure there is!

Sometimes inspiration just comes. I think Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote about this (TW: religion) www.poetryfoundation.org/articles/694...

"the poetry of inspiration can only be written in this mood of mind, even if it only last a minute"

Yeah for sure! Can't figure out how much is due to who is near front and how much is just normal creative cycle πŸ€”

I think we've had 10 therapists now, who I can actually remember?

That feels like a lot

Well, our system was the author! It was a collaborative work :) (assuming that's fine anyways!)

Original work, or is something we've already shared elsewhere okay?

So tired of how every year the months around September/October/November completely mess with our system

To the point that whoever's hosting has to live in fear they'll end up dormant or loose what makes them who they are. It's terrifying

Happy fucked-tober everyone! The most BS month of all the months

I don't think we're prepared at all (and we're the squirrel system! Being prepared should be our whole thing!) Oh well
