If someone mistreats you, believes you deserve it, that you are equally mistreating them. This isn’t a communication issue. Whatever distortions or type of hell they may carry with them. The issue is that they don’t see us as equal. Our job isn’t to figure out why. It’s to love ourselves anyway.

You're not struggling to feel better because you'e "bad" or "not trying hard enough." You're struggling because you've been injured, & that injury has been reinforced for years. Healing psychological wounds is complex. You're not "doing it wrong." Easy does it. Patience. Grace.

So, the famous US/UK ‘Special Relationship’ revolves around genocide and paedophilia then…

Social media is really going off today. What the rich really get up to…

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It's class war. Open, indiscriminately violent class war. It's colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, fascism claiming the lives of innumerable people, children, just to acquire some land, some oil and gas, to get more imaginary money for their imaginary hierarchy games while the world burns.

It's funny because it's true.

I abhor both violence and censorship, which is why I think it’s important to have a healthy debate over whether or not people who defend rape should be fed into wood chippers, and whether or not those on the “pro” side should be silenced.

A trillion in shares, and he’ll still never fill that hole in him.

I hope you heal from all the things your family denied happening to you.

Today's #SocialistSunday thread of 10 of my favourite cartoons 0/10

#SocalistSunday Let's come together to form a network of Democratic socialists, we cannot let Farage & his vile agenda gain more political ground. Please follow each other from the replies to this post & re-post to spread the word, thank you x #YourParty, #GreenParty #Palestine #NHS #NeverTrump

It is not "entitled" to acknowledge what we needed & didn't get growing up. We're not suffering now because we weren't parented "perfectly." Figuring out what we lacked isn't even necessarily about "blame:" we're just trying to understand our wound so we can design our recovery.

“The wicked become even worse when they are tolerated.” Tolstoy saw what Congress refuses to: silence is complicity. Every lawmaker shielding corruption, cruelty, or fascism is not neutral—they’re an accomplice. History will not forgive cowards who called surrender ‘strategy.’ #TyrannyTolerated

Been wondering why I felt so flat and easily drained lately. Turns out it’s the association my brain makes with this time of year. The anniversary effect. I know it’ll pass, just gotta up the self care until it does. Quiet Friday night just reading and drinking tea for me. #CPTSD #PTSD

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social shows us how to fight back - without throwing ANY minority under the bus.

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

"It cannot be sufficiently emphasized that revolution is in vain unless inspired by its ultimate ideal." - Emma Goldman

“Without the implicit threat of state violence, without the bravery of offering up a comically unprotected body as a target for real violence, tactical frivolity can devolve into little more than entertainment.”

The stats behind this are frightening. I think a lifetime of being taught to distrust our instincts contributes how heavily overrepresented autistic women are among survivors. I’m deeply grateful for the kindness and understanding from the services that supported me.

Happy #SocialistSunday 🥰

If the people who represent you profit off your suffering, they won't be fighting for you #SocialistSunday

Why are there so many undiagnosed adults who are only now discovering they're autistic or otherwise neurodivergent? I have an explanation...

There is no winning with an abuser. Their rules are designed to shift, to confuse, and to keep you walking on eggshells. #PsychologicalAbuse

The NHS has been ideologically attacked, carved up into regions & subjected to stealth privatisation. PFI has been a crushing disaster. We cannot let it continue to be systematically underfunded & damaged further - it is the best investment in the future of this country that we can possibly make.

Anything but this 😭

It must be nice to be a man and make borin music just because you can #musicsky

If you tense up when your partner arrives home, if the mood darkens when you say 'no' to a demand, if you are fearful to express your needs, pay attention! 🚩 #CoerciveControl

Tim Curry - a legend.

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them. Assata Shakur #socialistsunday

thinking about the liberal politicians willing to try to compromise with fascists by abandoning minority groups they don't really like - i wish they understood that fascists will come for everyone eventually. even themselves. fascism unopposed is a ruined state with everyone dead

I hope the survivors feel some relief and safety now that he can’t harm anyone again

Period products aren’t stocked in the majority of UK women’s bathrooms. But one venue puts a box in the men’s, and this clown thinks civilisation is collapsing

Even just decriminalisation, redirecting funds for the “war on drugs” into services that promote harm reduction and tackling the underlying mental health issues that lead to addiction would be a massive improvement for everyone’s wellbeing
