Once that question exists in the world, the hostage‑pledge system cannot survive. Star is not the solution. Star is the symptom. It is the visible sign that the kingdom’s emotional machinery has broken. #RFT #wish #survivorliteracy

This job would not be paying for all of that, but it was something. I got paid $35/day, and we worked 7am to sundown. It also meant that Mrs. Amish-ish would have more space, and I hoped it would make her less territorial. #ranch #hay #tractor #skills

While this is all going on, they're waging war on pornographers, abortion, gay rights, and anything else they can marginalize, despite their personal behavior. #control #script #moralmajority #conservative #republican #liberty #writer
Repeatedly, this shows that even political victories advocating for the oppressed don't usually result in the actual change. Practices continue, and the language of change is adopted as gaslighting. #protest #activism #gaslighting #survivor

My mom hated her. She hated that I liked her. She hated parent teacher conferences. She hated hearing that the book I wrote in class was about Dad's suicide. I think my mom thought my teacher was gay. #children #masking #pain #sociology #psychology #writer #suicide #school #family

Meaning comes from interplay, not separation. The fifth field makes simultaneity the method.

Freedom is a core part of the American identity, but what does it mean? Is freedom being allowed to make as much money as possible? Is freedom being permitted to pursue the career of your choice, or attend university if you can rally the funds?

Sharing gifts between people in a relationship is positive, and can deeply connect people. Lavishing people with gifts removes their autonomy, and makes them indebted.
It can be difficult to know when the line is crossed, because it seems positive. #lovebombing #gifts #praise #toxicpositivity

One morning, when we were eating breakfast at the table, talking about local events and goings-on, they told me that the community college in Rock Springs was offering a sign language course through outreach, and asked me if I wanted to take the course with them. #see #language #class #survivor

Eventually, Mom got information to piece together the history of Dad's mental illness. His parents had always lied about it, but his Aunt P was a wealth of honest information. She told Mom how they kept dad locked in a basement. She told Mom about psych ward stays, and Dad's ex-wife. #survivor
The self isn’t a point — it’s a network. Plurallility maps the mycelium.

The return of desire is the return of the self. The vault loses its power because its contents are no longer forgotten. A wish only functions as a hostage if the person forgets they ever had it. Once memory returns, the pledge is void. #RFT #survivorliteracy #wish
