@aimeeterese 6 / 6 …. this is my personal addition….
Unearned Access:
Defend your light.
Not everyone gets to be in your sacred space.
Practice radical self-respect, know your worth, then add tax…
@aimeeterese Explain the types of boundaries, and what they represent.
We repeat these words and phrases, but most folks don’t know its clinical meaning.
@aimeeterese 5 / 6 Emotional and Psychological Boundaries: Sovereignty from toxicity, manipulation, emotion-dumping (this is a long list).
You’re not responsible for others’ emotions.
Take yourself seriously and maintain integrity.
@aimeeterese 4 / 6 Mental and Intellectual Boundaries:
No one is entitled to demand your thoughts… on any subject, at any time, for any reason.
Thoughts, opinions, knowledge, and values are sovereign, sacred, and autonomous…as is any decision to share them.
@aimeeterese 3 / 6 Physical Body Boundaries:
It’s yours, nobody else’s. Be aware of that ownership, and its protection.
Understand: appearance, attraction, affection, seduction, and sexuality;
know personal space, proximity, intimidation, threat, violence.
@aimeeterese 2 / 6: Time / Energy / Effort Boundaries.
Your limitations on demands and obligations.
Say “no” more.
Define the intent on its expenditure.
Anticipate a single permitted event may embolden additional expectations.
@aimeeterese Ok, here we go:
1 / 6: Material Boundaries - Home, vehicles, possessions…your stuff.
You determine who is around your stuff, in your car/house.
You determine who gets to use them.
You can say ‘no.’
Do not compromise trusted spaces/things.
…not enough sage…
Islam is a cancer.
How many more examples do we need before we wake up?
I cannot stop thinking about those 250,000 girls in the UK.
Children.
Someone’s daughter.
Someone’s little sister.
The kind of kid who should have been worrying about homework and sleepovers, not whether a single adult in the world would believe her.
For years they were groomed, raped, trafficked, threatened, ignored, and failed by the very people who were supposed to keep them safe.
Police looked away. Councils looked away. Adults with titles and salaries and a duty of care looked away.
And why?
Because the truth was inconvenient. Because somewhere along the line, protecting frightened girls came second to protecting reputations, politics, and “community relations.”
And Liberals, stop calling them “Asian grooming gangs.”
Call them exactly what they are:
Pakistani Muslim men.
Saying “Asian” smears billions of people to spare the guilty the discomfort of being named.
There are few things more evil than predators who target children.
But right behind them stand the people in power who knew enough to act and chose silence instead. Who heard a child ask for help and decided she was someone else’s problem.
Those girls deserved to be protected.
They deserved to be believed.
They deserved justice.
They deserved adults with spines.
What they got was a system that looked at them and decided they weren’t worth the trouble.
Every official who put fear, politics, or their own comfort ahead of an innocent child should never be trusted with power again and required jail time.
Being complicit is never an excuse for an adult.
Hey @tim_cook at @Apple,
Why does my iPhone autocorrect “Black people,” Hispanic people,” and “Asian people” with capital letters, but leaves “white people” lowercase?
Is this a keyboard choice, or did my phone get an advanced degree in grievance studies?
Fix it.
It’s racist.
@alphaman_111 Not certain if it was a gift, rather an assignment.
I completed the assignment, and resent the pain and grief associated, but I did it.
Except for myself, I don’t see any healing for anything else.
@alphaman_111 Does not apply to psychopathy, lack of conscience, unrepentence, and deliberate harm to the vulnerable.
Forgive yourself… you were in a no-win situation.
