@merricats He is a movie star 15 years older than her.
She posted some texts.
He still has all the power.

@DrBlackDeer When I worked in admin there were endless conversations where senior scholars griped about OTHER departments. Half that energy devoted to structural issues in our own department would have solved a lot, ya know?

@racheleklein I mean I can say as someone with CPTSD my therapists in the past have often been extremely reluctant to suggest I was accountable in my personal relationships even a tiny bit or help me actually set boundaries and assert myself.
Because they saw me as perma victims.

@msolurin Every white person who talks about self-care needs to actually read bell hooks.

[mermaidlife88 @srekindark8]

@theoceanblooms Plenty of wonderful people are socially awkward af and plenty of terrible people are absolutely gorgeous and that’s how they get away with it.

[humanbeingawkward @HumanbeingAwk]

Did you have parents like this?

[mermaidlife88 @srekindark8]

@adamfare1996 People tend to fall apart specifically because we get no support and then get condemned for our reactions.

[mermaidlife88 @srekindark8]

@AutisticCoach_ I think there’s nuance where I have white privilege walking around in the world because I am perceived as white, and so do most Ashkenazi Jews, but also antisemitic hatred towards Jewish people exists.

@LadyDoctorSays Not really sure dunking on someone’s looks is the statement to make.

[mermaidlife88 @srekindark8]

@emilynussbaum The only thing I wish had been different is she should have hired a publicist and actually created a narrative.

[mermaidlife88 @srekindark8]

@theashleyray Well because he’s the one with all the power so he’s the one they sympathize with.
If she was the celebrity and she was sharing his texts no one would care.

[mermaidlife88 @srekindark8]

@AllisonRFloyd But I also know that plenty of abusers say they are the victim and will disclose their victims’ private info or use that as a threat.

[mermaidlife88 @srekindark8]

@AllisonRFloyd Uh I don’t think either you or I are in charge of setting the social norms for the entire world.

[mermaidlife88 @srekindark8]

@louwrentius @emrazz Talking is not “stealing attention” erm it is “communication” and that is how it works. My guess it that all the “attention” you have put on this particular topic has not been particularly helpful. Can’t imagine why!

[mermaidlife88 @srekindark8]

@rootfayth @emilysears Then you are conflating your emotions, which are your business, with the relationship, which is couple business.

[mermaidlife88 @srekindark8]

@emrazz I’m also thinking about the former male housemate who couldn’t handle his emotions when I slept with someone else but refused to talk about it directly.
Refusing to have a direct conversation while having a bitchfit in the corner is not good boundaries either lol

@jmb22392 @InternetHippo WHY

[mermaidlife88 @srekindark8]

@commie_trucker “The worst thing I can imagine is witnessing poverty in others”

[mermaidlife88 @srekindark8]

@adamfare1996 The science is inconsistent—I mean I support any adult who finds what works for them. But no way is it fine to experiment on kids’ brains.
