You have shown your strength and resilience. Let them heal your tender wounds and wrap your grief in loving care. You cannot reach him anymore. You can only reach into your own great soul, your guiding wisdom. It is time to follow the light toward your truest home.

Your regret and sorrow cannot lead him anywhere, now. He must find his own and take the path of insight, reflection, and growth, if he is to go anywhere but straight down.
Don't spend another moment blaming yourself for his selfishness and failures.
Nat boosted:
It. Is. Not. Your. Fault.
Not for loving him, not for leaving him.
Not for making sacrifices, not for asking him to do the same.
It is not your fault for holding up a mirror to him and showing him something he didn't want to see.
Nat boosted:
It is not your fault that he cannot see himself clearly, that he will not learn from his mistakes, that he will do it all over again and never feel a twinge of guilt or self-doubt.
That he must see you as the abuser, the tormentor, the architect of his misery—because if he admitted to himself how hard you tried, how much you cherished him, how deeply you wanted him to grow and flourish, he would also have to admit that his own decisions and behavior have set him adrift indefinitely.

It is not your fault.
It is not your fault.
It is not your fault.
It is not your fault that he ignored every life raft you threw to him and now he's trying to build a boat from seaweed.
It is not your fault that he would rather drown in self-pity than recognize your humanity.
It is not your fault that you cannot save him from himself, and so now you must focus only on protecting yourself and your little one.

Just heard on Dropsite News that Israel has cut off Internet in Gaza. Sabotaged the fiber across the strip.
This is happening whilst all media is busy with Iran.
It's a dreadful development. No food, no water, no electricity, no medicines, no communication, no Internet
How's Israel allowed to get away with all of this..

If you're not plugged into the movement, I'm here to tell you that it's BIG, much bigger than what you see on the news: there are Signal groups in every community in southern California to report sightings of ICE, coordinate protests, provide legal support, request aid, draft guides, & more. That's tens of thousands of people who are actively mobilized, and who are working to mobilize more people in their communities.
It's BIG and it's growing.

Just finished 1919 by Eve L Ewing.
Not much a poetry reader anymore, but picked this up on a whim a few years ago and finally sat down to listen.
Learned a lot about the 1919 Chicagao race riots and got to enjoy some good poetry. Recommended.

“We gave the virus optimal conditions to keep developing and wanted to see whether it would eventually attenuate—basically weaken—over time. It didn’t,” Dr Foster said.
“In all cases, by the time we stopped, the viruses were still growing happily and picking up mutations.”
There were new mutations which popped up repeatedly in different strains – a phenomenon known as convergent evolution – as well as changes which mirrored those seen in real world outbreaks.
The similarities suggest the virus may be naturally inclined to develop certain changes, regardless of the environment and external pressures, said senior author William Rawlinson, a Conjoint Professor with the School of Biomedical Sciences.
Some mutations which help the virus adapt may be driven by the makeup of the virus itself, rather than a bid to evade immunity, he said.
“Some of the changes we saw in humans were also happening in vitro, which suggests it’s not just about transmissibility or immune evasion—it’s also about the structure and function of the virus itself,” Prof. Rawlinson said.
“They could develop these important mutations even in the absence of a catalyst.”

I hope Gavin Newsom splits into two smaller, perfectly symmetrical Gavin Newsoms so he can hold contradictory views more efficiently
@rachaelspooky gosh it sure was hard when I became trans all of a sudden with no experience 😭
Nat boosted:
still not over being asked this by a job application:
"Are you a person of transgender experience?"
bruh
just say "Are you trans?" it's fucking fine and it's better than that corpo bullshit
