If you send me an email with a link that takes me to a web page that requires login information to access even though you know it’s me because it’s MY email then you are dead to me

I’ll meet you any time you want (as long as it’s before 6:30 and not a weeknight and my dogs are okay with it and the parking situation is reasonable) at our Italian restaurant

Something you're going to notice as you work your trauma recovery: being reflexively silent because you're intimidated or in a "freeze" response feels very different than choosing silence because you're opting out of a toxic exchange that doesn't support your recovery.

I strongly believe the smallest act of daily creativity can powerfully reinforce & fuel our trauma recovery. Our bullies & abusers desperately want us forgetting how to make & share music, art, poetry, or anything else. Ask yourself why.

Today is a good day to begin again daily micro🍄 for my nervous system. So much dick swinging going on , it is exhausting on top of my usual top 10 list of Hypervigilance #cptsdliving #cptsdlifelessons #cptsd #gottaliveittoknowit #neurodivergentartist #tbiandcptsdextraspicy

You can choose to explain your priorities or decisions to someone, for your reasons & within your boundaries-- but if you're feeling pressure to do so, resist. It's a slippery slope from explaining to overexplaining to approval seeking. Breathe; blink; push pause; & push back.

B4 I could believe that it was possible to build an online business I needed to believe that I was safe to be seen N that is the rub when UR nervous system developed survival habits to survive UR predators by hiding #cptsdlifelessons #cptsd #sheboss #gottaliveittoknowit #thebadgirlmysticexperience

that awkward moment when you absentmindedly put your ankles on the gyno’s shoulders during your pap

i think owning a bookstore overlooking the sea that's also a coffee shop that's also a cat sanctuary that's also a flower shop that's also a bakery could actually fix me.

the only walk of shame i’ve ever done was away from an all you can eat buffet

Big part of working through childhood CPTSD is engaging with a kind of depressing fact: you are developmentally stunted, and have been for probably your entire life. But it's likely you are stunted in some senses and hyper-developed in others, which is why you can seem "high functioning."

Good night, #Sky #RPSky and #Witchsky. You're loved.

Everybody needs 3 friends: - one to send you new music - one to nod and order margaritas and not ask questions while you vent - and one to text you every time even the most minor celebrity dies

🕯 thank you for sharing your heart and magic with us 🎵 The music of Soft Cell took me to another place on the dance floor

@moonshadow1900.bsky.social Look, we weren't going to get that smell out...we can build it back better.🫂

With every recovery supporting micro choice today, you're doing more than protecting & improving your quality of life. You're showing other survivors & people you love that their past & their pain is not their destiny or identity-- any more than your past or your pain is yours.

Your bullies & abusers never counted on you working a recovery that supports you in understanding what they did to you. You prioritizing your safety, stability, & self care w/ each decision you make today makes them increasingly less relevant or powerful in your story.

I have grown as a person, now do I get a cookie?

My daughter just asked me what I would do if I had a penis for a day and I responded that I'd probably get a raise.

Trauma survivors very frequently notice that the cultural norms around relationships & other priorities don't especially resonate w/ us. And if we can manage the reflexive shame about "not fitting in" w/ cultural attitudes or desires, we realize: that's a feature, not a glitch.

He's done what flight 93 was stopped from doing on 9/11 and his cult is cheering

It’s OK to eat junk food in the car on road trips because calories don’t count at highway speed. I don’t have time to explain the science behind this, but it’s sound.

Protection is a daily practice.
Not a one-time charm. Layer it like perfume. #witchcraft #witchsky #witch #intuitivewitch #intuition #intuitivewitchcraft

I have zero respect for people who abandon or abuse their dogs, cats, or other pets. If you can't treat them as a family member, don't get any 🙏

If you’re texting her, you can call her

We are not born knowing how to be assertive, & it is not your fault if you didn't have the modeling you needed to develop that skillset. Giving ourselves permission to be assertive can be a b*tch when we're working against a history of fawning & freezing. Grace over guilt.

#cptsdlife For me,All about learning how to stop pushing my power to survive. Now focus is being focused on how to move the power I am being given in the present🎁 #gottaliveittoknowit #cptsd #cptsdlifelessons #badgirlwisdom #thebadgirlmysticexperience #neurodivergentartist #tbiandcptsdextraspicy

With every hour & every decision today, remember: there is nothing "selfish" about choosing yourself. In choosing yourself, your safety, stability, & recovery, you are also choosing to show up for every person or pet or cause you care about. Choosing you is choosing them.

At age 20 I walked into the counseling asked for help to learn how to stop crying all the time First 2 years therapy and 12 steps for eating disorders was my focus. For next 15 years it was therapy and groups. 40 years later it is all about keeping the bird feeders full and weekly flowers #cptsd

"blockingiscowardly" was fun to block today. No good comes from engaging with MAGA accounts on Bluesky. They're here to argue. Blocking deprives them of their reason for being and makes them more unhappy than anything else you could do. Block AF. Cut off their lifeblood. Ya know, if ya want

a shoutout to all of the people here who share their artistry. it genuinely makes bsky a much richer and more enjoyable place for me to be. 🩷

Something happens in our nervous system when we show up for ourselves, again & again & again, even when it's hard, even when Trauma Brain is telling us we don't "deserve" to have our own back. Something shifts. It's what healing, recovery literally, physically feels like.

The recovery from my vasectomy is going well.
