It’s been a year. A year since I finally had to face the facts that I could no longer be in a relationship with someone I loved. After years of emotional manipulation, gaslighting and abuse he finally escalated to physical intimidation. During a rage directed at me…1/

Had a nice morning at my local breakfast place/bookstore. Reading a new to me novel called “Native Tongue” by Suzette Haden Elgin. It was originally published in 1984 and it is so relevant to the dumpster fire we are currently experiencing as women. 1/

FYI if you’re still on FB & Insta you have been force followed to the Orange Menace and the mini orange menace. I was unable to unfollow on FB had to block them.

We’re all really tired over here. Took the days between Christmas and New Year’s off and it seems like all I’m going to manage is being tired. 🥱

Need to stick to the cats 18 hour sleep schedule I guess.

It’s a big day for me. I’m officially tapering off my only remaining psych med. I was misdiagnosed as bipolar largely due to the psychological effects of being in an abusive relationship. One thing I never understood is that you can be in an abusive relationship and not know it till it’s over.

Interesting article I found today. Worth a read. #feminism sarahjbaker.medium.com/the-great-ma...

I’m really worried for military women right now. Sexual assault in the military is high and now the commander in chief is an adjudicated rapist. What about that doesn’t give rapists in the military free reign?

Feeling really over it here in the US. For all intents and purposes the bro-right has decided rape is their right. That’s what “your body, my choice” means. How is it safe for women here anymore? It just seems so apt that the faith and family folks are now openly rape positive. Fuck you

My latest: "This isn’t just any election loss, this loss will mean the erosion if not elimination of our democratic norms, torn down by an addled mad man who possesses nothing but seething disrespect for anything that actually makes this country great."
