Thanks, I've done the work and I'm in a strong place. I'm just so disgusted at how families handle it when their girl children are harmed. These stories aren't unique.
Alice Monroe's daughter - blame it on the 9 year old. I was 8 years old, dressing in baggy clothes, trying to be ugly so my brother wouldn't want to rape me. Again. And like Alice Monroe, my mother blamed me for provoking him. "Can't you just let it go for the sake of the family?" Infuriating.
Texas, movies on the lawn. Bro walks up with foldable chair in a bag. Turns it upside down to shake the chair out and a dozen Texas size cockroaches spill out and run in every direction - people sitting on the ground scream and try to flee. Chaos.
Bluesky has finally driven my anxiety up to levels that require a total social media blackout. I know it's bad, but jesus christ why do we have to do this to ourselves. I want to be concerned without feeling like space aliens are landing and taking us all for food.
