@tigerfly22 Survivors also know how to recognize other survivor's strengths and know the importance of highlighting it.
Being abused is disempowering and the systems in place after escaping abuse furthers the disempowerment.
@tigerfly22 I don't know the answer to this question but I think you hit on something important: that it needs to come from survivors working together.
Survivors know about that invisible person that you dream of that never was abused that you yearn for.
@patiencemosher@dizzyophelia That makes sense that they would rationalize it but if they are being honest with themselves they know it's unacceptable. Because he said a lot more that just the part he tried to claim was a Monty Python sketch. Because there is no explanation for the global humiliation text.
@dizzyophelia@patiencemosher Depp was a sweet spot because he appeals with the sweet/intovert type to women but you can look at his texts and see someone that appeals to incel/mra types. How women can see those texts and overlook that I will never understand.
Please do not dampen the joy of the Palestinians at the news of the ceasefire. They know better than you that it will be difficult and that peace will be fragile and could break at any moment. Let them feel happy because the slaughter will stop.
As we all celebrate the ceasefire agreement, let us not forget the martyrs this genocide made
Rafeet, Hind, Medo… “Soul of my soul” Khaled Nabhan and little Reem…and hundreds of thousands of other Palestinians who have been brutally massacred by Israel.
460 days of Genocide.
I am so numb. I am so angry. I am so broken. I am sobbing. I am cautious about hope. I am reaching for relief. The only thing that is clear is the work still ahead of us to hold Israel to account, to make sure none of this happens again, to help Gaza rebuild, to Free Palestine.
@dizzyophelia@patiencemosher That's how I read it too. I think the next logical step is what @patiencemosher said that he is saying because he was an asshole they are "women scorned" out for revenge.
@patiencemosher "Some of the horrible stories now being told simply never happened, while others have been so distorted from what actually took place that they bear no relationship to reality" sounds so much like Depp to me.
