A lot of folks are surprised by the roots of restorative justice and how often those processes included things like deplatforming perpetrators or banning them from a specific organization.

Which is an indicator of how RJ has been co-opted in recent years by people who want to sanitize impunity.

Thinking about the incredible, revolutionary work done by survivors and victims of sexual assault and abuse in movement spaces, their (our) resiliency and trauma care, the resolve and dedication, just all of it. No one should have to endure this shit while lifting up their people.

Suicide prevention is not telling suicidal people to call a number for cops to take them to the psych ward. It’s being community for people. People suffer alone. You abandon your sad & mentally ill & lonely friends because they bum you out. We’re the ones with the duty of caring for each other.

and to those of you making jokes about the epstein files or using them as a “gotcha!” in political arguments: remember that every insensitive quip you make impacts the silent survivors of trafficking & CSAM around you, people you interact with every day.

too many of y’all view the epstein files as “scandalous” political fodder instead of documentation of organized, extreme abuse. too many of y’all have no idea what trafficking even looks like, or how common it is in america, or how triggering this wall-to-wall coverage of CSEC/CST is for survivors.

At what point does the psychological field start acknowledging that ritual and organised abuse can create extreme psychological effects in its victims & actually provide healthcare and a safe space for survivors to be believed instead of sweeping it under the rug and doubting them

Why do colonialism and colonial policy help organized crime thrive? Take Singapore for instance. The British colonial government encouraged and used these orgs to help them exploit the land and people.

this is especially bad on tiktok and tumblr. as a ramcoa/oea survivor, the information i found on these social media platforms was usually just misinfo that triggered the fuck out of me. we as a community need to stop encouraging people who are spreading “RAMCOA info” and miseducating each other.

religious triggers have been driving us up the wall for the past week or so, feels like we’re always in some level of distress

on the topic of origins, the full specifics of how your plurality came to be is no ones business, ESPECIALLY if those origins have to do with trauma. i'm looking at you minor cdid systems/ramcoa survivors, PLEASE you are putting yourself at RISK!!!!

💙Also if it wasn’t obvious enough, nazi punks can fuck off. Punk has some really bad roots but change happens. Today’s punks don’t do that nazi shit, if you do you are not a punk. You are nothing more than the fash you imitate.

for me, one of the hardest triggers to cope with as a cult survivor is weirdly long religious observances. like i can handle being out of it for a day or two, but stuff like advent or lent are WEEKS long. the constant flashbacks and dissociation render me basically non-functional the whole time.

just went to an allergist to start the process for getting diagnosed with #MCAS. the doctor came into the room, told me “i’m an ent allergist, you need a immunology allergist,” walked me to the front desk, and left. tell me why they still charged me for the visit 😭 i hate healthcare #chronicillness

I believe the following:
- All good-faith identities deserve to be respected.
- Feminism must be intersectional.
- Transmedicalism is harmful.
- Endogenic systems exist, and to deny this is to support overmedicalization.
- You, as an individual, are responsible for curating your internet experience.
