Therapy isn't the solution for abuse. Therapy doesn't make people non-abusive. Many times, abusers go to therapy and just gain the tools manipulate and control their victims better.

Survivor Justice must be a collective pursuit. The 'justice' that survivors are promised through the legal system is rarely delivered and, if it is, it requires survivors to be retraumatised first. There's no justice in this.

I wanted to watch 'Hedda' but apparently Brad Pitt is an Executive Producer.
Also, so much for accusations ruining men's lives.

Fighting for disability rights has to include fighting for people whose symptoms of their disability that may make you uncomfortable (i.e. people with schizophrenia).

Imagine how much we could do with our lives if we weren't constantly worried about being able to afford to live.

Chikungunya is very common in Trinidad and I never even knew there was a vaccine for it! Global vaccine apartheids are such violence.
Please support this important request to help increase global access to this vaccine, especially if you are someone in the Global North.

Depathologising my madness and learning to accept it as a part of me has made my life so much more full and whole and rich ever since. I still have to find ways to adjust so that I can adapt to life under capitalism, but that doesn't make my madness inherently wrong.

In an abusive relationship, the perpetrator makes the biggest power grabs when he feels his control over the victim is slipping.
I’m keeping that in mind whenever we see massive escalations from Trump. It’s all still very dangerous. But these moments are a sign of weakness, not strength.

There's no way that you can claim to care about survivors and not take COVID seriously. Just none at all. COVID is one of the biggest threats to survivors now, its effects more rapid than the climate crisis and almost any other mass disabling and destabilising event that we're facing now.

This suicide prevention month, I feel so much grief for everyone who is being forced into suicide because they're being denied access to the resources they need to survive.

So much of why we don't believe survivors and why we support their abusers instead is because of psychiatry. Psychiatry encourages us to vilify, victim-blame and abandon survivors and sympathise with their abusers. I believe in psych abolition in no small part because of survivors.

Abuse literacy literally saved my life.
It helped me stop believing my abusers' promises that they'd changed + to recognise how I'd been viewing harassment as flattering because I thought it meant they missed me. Abusers really rely on our being uneducated about the dynamics of abuse

This. It's the same ideology underscoring his actions in both cases. It's rape culture manifesting at a larger scale. We need to stop platforming rapists and allowing them access to power.

A reminder that anti-violence advocates have been aware of and opposed to Donald Trump’s violent misogyny since his first presidential campaign.
There is a cost to giving rapists the benefit of the doubt when they’re seeking a new powerful position. We could have avoided all of this.

Children are not property. Parents do not get to do whatever they want to them and claim it's fine because it's their child and that no one has any right to butt into their private family affairs when what they are doing places their child in danger. Children deserve better.

Interested in the changing political valence of "trauma" which in the Me Too era was used as a means of (perhaps remedially) trying to create empathy for the suffering of rape victims. Now, I see it used much more often as an attack on epistemic authority.
