I just read -- in the book SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO by Jess Hill -- about the incident in Stockholm for which Stockholm Syndrome is named, and I am royally pissed off on behalf of all women, buckle up.
🧵1/ I remember being concerned when I saw the first users of Twitter tweeting photos of what they were eating for breakfast and thinking to myself, this is not going to be good for humanity. But at some point down the line, I became convinced that I needed to join for my career.
I was raised on the child punishment teachings of James Dobson. When my oldest was born, I decided not to use spanking - ever. I had relatives beg me, in tears, to reconsider. They said I would ruin her.
13 years later, I just had my first 8th grad parent teacher conference. 1/
@JeanasRequiem @MissLanaPresley @hannahschaef "surely there is help"... There is. But not everyone has awareness or access. If you're broke and have only your SO's money, you can't afford a lawyer, and maybe can't even get to a clinic to see if there's resources. Plus trauma bonding will keep people in bad places forever.
@momfraser@LKHamilton Exactly! And it's like, I don't have a single issue fixing a plate, or being of service, but I'm going to do it because I love and respect you, not out of duty. When I'm expected to do something for you for the simple fact that you're a man, that's a hard pass. Thank you!
@momfraser@LKHamilton For sure. His whole family does it, as they always have - being poor, black, and southern, so they're very traditional. That expectation of me to alter my way of existing to fit that traditional role of women second was a big part of why I left that marriage. Cuz that ain't me.🤣
@momfraser@LKHamilton My ex husband from mid GA, his family would insist on feeding the men first, which meant that their woman would make them a plate. My MIL made sure he "taught" me that rule.
@0596Simon@LKHamilton@monsterhunter45 I started w/ Anita in Guilty Pleasures at 13/14, just starting HS. I fell in love and really, these characters have had great influence on how I turned out as a person (swear I'm a pretty stand up gal!). Lol. I was on VC Andrews/Fear St at 9 or 10.
You all encouraged me to be honest about what’s happening in my life so here goes. I still have long Covid. My sister is going through major medical stuff. My husband got bitten by a brown recluse. My husband’s aunt died last night, we found out this morning.
@bama_fortune@kmcsween@elonmusk Well, they said LOW sugar for one. And two, regular and chocolate cow's milk aren't keto. While I wholly support this person's endeavors and goodness to the cows, it's just not keto.
@aparadoski@reneknottsports Literally anything other than pray. Put in actual work within our society to unite people rather than hold dear the divisiveness that's being fed to us.
