The whole "die for your country" thing sounds heroic, but what it really means is "go kill for it." I will commit no violence especially for something created by man.

Hunter Biden and Parental Love "Good morning, my beautiful son, I miss you and love you. Dad." The Hunter Biden we see now is the Hunter that his father always saw. And the power of his love for his son is why Hunter can now be the free, joyful and honest man he has become.

Brain Damage, Cabbage Patch Kids and Bullies. The life of the neglected child. When I was a kid, my Grandmom made me a beautiful doll. I brought it to school thinking it would help me make friends. It didn't. Not much has changed since.

Twain must have been visiting this town when he said, "Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience." #stuck #towns #racism #corruption #moving #ironman

Currently celebrating Elevensies for Bilbo and Frodo's birthday.

Many survivors feel shame about how our symptoms get in the way of "adulting"-- but you need to know tasks like paying bills, being on time, car maintenance, & even basic hygiene often trip the "Big Three" CPTSD triggers: feeling controlled, trapped, or "in trouble." No shame.

What's your Friday music? Spotify tried to play a bunch of atmospheric, but I corrected it, and it spit out Morrissey, Pulp, The Beatles, The Smiths (to be safe) and Blur. It knows.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

"I'll never put on a life jacket again." Jaws, Quint, Trauma, Survival and Interesting Times. If I have anything to say to anyone who may need to fight, then it's a warning. You will be hurt, but you may find healing. #blog #film #Jaws #mentalhealth #PTSD #survivor #trauma #violence #writing

Made a friend today. I named him Marvin for Marvin the Martian because I suspect mantids are aliens. Although it's probably a female because it's so large & looks like it's about to make a home for it's brood. I love little mantids. They remind me of Kung Fu Panda. #nature #mantids #insects #aliens

It's so easy to laugh. It's so easy to hate. It takes strength to be gentle and kind oh it's over and over and over and over...mother I can feel the soil falling over my head over and over over...

Mental health break! Take twenty minutes, some pillows and a blanket and try a new gentle and nurturing practice shared by Yoga with Adriene on YouTube. Yoga for Emotional Release. Don't worry. The world will still be on fire when you're done.

I am partially deaf in my right ear now because the healthcare in my area sucks, and I'm caught in insurance appeal hell. To be clear: I already have traumatic brain injury and related issues from DV. Damn right I'm angry.

A few hours in the life of the sleep disrupted: It's 6am and it's nearly time for bedtime yoga.

Of course this Timeline includes the worst Kennedy since Joseph the Nazi sympathizer.

"BUT YOU WROTE ABOUT THE FAMILY!" Yeah, see because I'm a writer. So if you'd rather not show up in my writing looking like an arse, maybe don't act like one to begin with. Just a thought.

Call me Crazy: If you post art, poetry or writing online, expect a critique. Fluffing isn't gonna help your craft.

When I told my Mother and sister about my abuse as a child by an older relative and my later rape, they said I was being "dramatic." And they're "Democrats." THAT is what these women trafficked by Epstein are up against.

Take five minutes to honor yourself today.

Heal Thyself. On being failed by the US medical system, and the dumb and dangerous stuff I did instead. Self-advocacy, unconventional home remedies and the giddy absurdity of navigating the US medical system. #health #healthcare #humor #mentalhealth #selfadvocacy #us #writing #blog

The little kitty named Scout likes the new laces for my Docs.

It's always a good day when it's "you can refill your anti anxiety meds" day.

You're gonna be OK!

Love the part of yourself that is horrified, that burns at the sight of injustice, that wants to defend, to fix, to comfort and to heal.

The Yoga of Healing. What illness is teaching me. Healing is messy and takes a long time. It also requires both caring for yourself and believing that you deserve to do so. New blog: Cinescribelakis.com #healing #trauma #yoga #illness #mentalhealth #blog #writing

Trump fundamentally lacks a sense of humor. If I were a mad ruler I'd have named my budget the One Big Beautiful Butt Bill, and I'd insist that all my lackeys say the name fully. I'd also make the press preface questions with "Hey Sailor, looking for a good time?"

It’s Over. Your Baby Doesn’t Love You Anymore. I miss you Baby Abbey. For more than a year and a half I've been living with a man who forces me to sleep in a tiny, cold room whenever he has to do some ridiculous thing I've told him to do like pay his taxes after three years or call the police on…

Sit. Stay. Grieve. 65% of my posts are elaborate shower thoughts. And 100% are total bullshit. #autism #blogging #dogs #grief #healing #life #mentalhealth #people #trauma #ptsd #wellness #writing

Proud @vanhollen.senate.gov is my senator. Hope he brings light to the conditions for everyone in El Salvador.

As a society we place far too much importance on terms like "narcissist" when "asshole" and "dickhead" exist. And are more to the point.
