There's no difference between spanking, leaving visible injuries, or sexual abuse. All 3 are types of violations against the body are toxic stress. Each type of violence triggers the EXACT SAME neuro-chemical responses in the body. And all 3 harm the developing brain.

Maybe you're not in an abusive marriage, and you love the preaching at your church and your friends.

By going to a church that mishandles abuse, though, you are increasing that church's reach and power.

It may not hurt you. But by supporting it, you may be hurting others.

@annaelizabeth23 I will kindly remind you that one of us was born exactly on schedule, and one of us was late for our due date. Which one of us was late, Anna? Hmmm?

As an Albertan who moved west 12 years ago, I hereby share my Theory of West Coast Snow.

1) People love to make fun of Vancouverites for not being able to drive in snow but THE SNOW IS ACTUALLY DIFFERENT HERE. I drove a Golf with no snow tires in Alta for years and was fine 🧵

Should you STAY in a church or denomination with the hopes of changing it?

What if, by staying, you're lending your seal of approval to an organization that harms people?

A thread on when it may be time to leave.

Sometimes I think about the time my lead pastor told me he hated musicals and I think that should have been the sign I was in an abusive church.

(This is a joke, except the part where I was in an abusive church.)

In summary:

(1) Family time is limited—cherish it.

(2) Friend time is limited—prioritize real ones.

(3) Partner time is significant—never settle.

(4) Children time is precious—be present.

(5) Coworker time is significant—find energy.

(6) Alone time is highest—love yourself.

I’m further realizing that considering I also love Muppet Christmas Carol, it might be that I can’t handle “classic” literature written by boring white guys unless Gonzo and Rizzo are holding my hand through the whole thing…

[Kathleen @kathnotkat]

Ever have a favourite movie that takes you by surprise? The amount of times I remember that Muppet Treasure Island exists and choose to watch it… it’s just every time.

@annaelizabeth23 The fact that you can’t have avocado is something that just cuts deep 😢
