I met my first republican FAFO. He was so angry about the orange felon. He went on and on about the lies. Then he said, “He fooled us. He fooled us!” I told him I wasn’t fooled. I’m a therapist and I would never vote for an abuser narcissist.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Think about it. Why are Christians the biggest supporters of the orange felon? Why is there rampant sexual abuse in Catholic and Christian churches? Why are woman subjected in Christianity? Could it be Christianity itself is abusive?

There are many habits that betray that you have suffered trauma. One habit is exaggeration of facts. It’s a bid for attention, most likely because you felt unseen for a part of your life.

What a joy to see this in a book store today. Her basket was already had five or six books and she was paging through another one. Brought back days of my childhood when I did this.

More individuals suffer religious trauma than realize it. They think it’s depression or anxiety or panic attacks. Gaslight is the silent abuser.

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

If you wonder how religion can be abusive, think of your concept of prayer. When something happens and you say, “I’ll pray” do you do anything else? Do you seek every avenue to change the situation? If you don’t, you are learning how to be helpless.
