I'm the vindictive scapegoat now and I have things to say whether or not anyone's listening. Trigger warning: I trauma dump frequently, I have a foul mouth, and I don't believe in Jesus.

My boomer mom was nonbinary or gender nonconforming at the very least; she just didn't have the language for it. Sadly, I'm sure she'd be a deeply closeted, misogynistic, MAGAt asshole now if she were still alive. I know for certain we wouldn't be on speaking terms. She'd be a goddamn nightmare.

It’s not love if: 🔸They punish you for setting boundaries 🔸They isolate you from friends or family 🔸They use your vulnerabilities against you 🔸They make you afraid to be yourself Real love is safe, kind, and freeing.💛

I'm not sure how many actual friends I ever had. Sad thought, but maybe none. I think most of the people I considered friends were just friend-shaped parent wounds and frenemies. I wasn't a great friend while I was in active addiction either, so maybe I didn't feel like I deserved actual friends.

Most of the sober friends I made were [& still are] christians so we have nothing in common now that I've left their death cult. I can't handle spending much time around people who are *that* detached from reality anymore anyway. Once you see religion for the scam that it is, there's no going back.

Wake up and smell the lead poisoning boomers! The old world is dying and a new more equitable world is struggling to be born. The time is now to become more than the slaves to capital you have always been. Rise up!

They push and provoke until you finally snap. Then suddenly: "See? You’re the abusive one." It’s not abuse to defend yourself. Abusers manipulate you into reacting and then blame you for the chaos they created. You are not the problem. 💪💜 #ReactiveDefense

"We can turn them around after" No, you fucking can't. You literally have no leverage once a pol is elected. You gave them power in the face of their promises. You rewarded their messages. You told them that it wasn't a dealbreaker. They have no reason to reverse course once elected.

"Trans people are a tiny group with no power" This isn't true, and I hope my trans readers can internalize this. You are more powerful than you think. Trans and gender expansive people are 2.34% of the US population in the latest survey. That is more than enough to swing a race.

Sexual child abuse At least 56,575 children in the U.S. aged 0–17 are sexually abused every year! Since clearly no god lifts a finger to try & stop this, let us humans be more alert, recognise warning signs, listen to children & never turn a blind eye to suspected abuse. rainn.org/get-informed...
