I think it’s really important that we think through our Fandoms, and I currently can’t get behind the dogwhistling, microaggressions, and mean girl energy TS brought to this album. Yes, I have been talking about her in some of my videos because I will use anything to talk about mental health.
Why is it all the healthy women are scared to wear allegiance to themselves as if it’s some type of bad thing?
And I have even more thoughts…Ophelia and TS …
So many thoughts about this… Share yours with me!

Trauma recovery is about showing up for ourselves-- maybe imperfectly, maybe late, maybe scared, maybe sad, but showing up for our "parts" & our inner child in ways we needed someone to show up for us back then.
I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat. -Rebecca West

Men often ask me, 'Why are your female characters so paranoid?' It’s not paranoia. It’s recognition of their situation.

Been saying this for years.

What is happening in the United States shows that divided we fail.
Therefore, let the broken governance system controlled by the rich fail as it always has and let “we the people”—the commoners & nonwealthy—truly begin a new era and create a true democracy of rule together by the people.
I went to a local tea shop and bought fresh food made onsite and tea for my kid and I.
Then we went home; my kid invited a friend over. I ordered dinner for us all from a small, local place and had it delivered—and tipped the local driver very well.
My money went local on purpose today.
Hey, lady, I’m sorry it took this for you to feel this way. He was always going to betray you and I’m sorry you didn’t understand that. So now that you see it, how about taking some actions to help more people see it and speaking to your local representatives and nationals ones too.
Sarcastically: I’ve never seen men so desire to care about women’s sports before. Wow. 😆
I’m not sure that’s Republicans turning on Trump.
Nah, how you said it was direct and excellent. I only desire to further back you up. You were precise.
Exactly. They are very caught up in that and keeping appearances. There’s also a lot of inheritance issues to think about as well with men. If their parents are not happy with them, many men fear losing the inheritance. I have not encountered this problem with women in the same way.
Are you willing to be wrong and correct it? If you are, you can handle life. If not, you likely need counseling and probably are the problem in your relationships.
For sure. Yet I think that it’s important to think about what the benefit to them is. I think that less men may change because change for men is more difficult than change for women since men have more to gain from maintaining power. Women have more to gain from changing—more freedom and autonomy.
Indeed. Regardless of whatever your family is like, dare to be the one who is kinder than your family was to you—healthier and wiser too!
My story is my own. Research and data doesn’t define my journey out of the cult of Christian Nationalism and extremism in our nation. It’s not because I’m a woman either (didn’t feel like a female growing up either), although being required to listen to others may have something to do with it.
I may have been raised as a girl, but if gendered raising has something to do with it, then it’s exhaustion from all the stereotypes, pressure, and normalized oppression of being a “woman”. And if your comment is true, then explain why all of the “women” I knew with that upbringing are still in it?
Everything you’ve ever wanted is sitting on the other side of fear. -George Addair
How do we stand up to our fear in times like these in order to set all of us free?
Indeed. Everyone does. It’s something I tell my clients all the time—are you willing to be wrong and correct it? If you are, you can handle life.
That! My family was pretty extremist, & I’ve worked to unlearn their racism, sexism, homophobia, their comfort with adults & minors having sexual interactions with other minors, their anti-science stances, & their religious & political beliefs. Yet, people must be willing to be wrong & change.
Thanks. 😊 I had fun with this one.
