Ireland was starved over 170 years ago. Gaza is being starved today. It’s from the *exact* same colonial and genocidal exterminism playbook. Humanity’s shame.

Yes, going "no contact" w/ a family member or ending a well-established relationship is kind of "extreme"-- which should give an indication of how painful, dangerous, or soul-crushing the relationship had become, not how "impulsive" or "selfish" the person making the choice is.

When a person is traumatized, it's not only the trauma they're healing from, but the number of times they weren't believed. It's being exposed to people who defend their perpetrator. It's being shamed for not letting it go. It's healing from the worlds response to vulnerability.

Most New Zealanders know that it's never a good idea to have an agreement that doesn't line up across both languages, eh. Especially around matters of leadership and sovereignty. responsiblestatecraft.org/troops-panama/

A Spanish-language version of an April 8 joint U.S.-Panama statement said that Hegseth “recognized the leadership and inalienable sovereignty of Panama over the Panama Canal and its adjacent areas.” The English version of the joint statement, however, does not contain the same assertion.

There is nothing wrong with limiting your exposure to or engagement w/ people who are not particularly sensitive to how their language & tone impact those around them. Nobody's handing out medals for enduring triggering behavior just to prove you can.

It was not your fault you experienced abuse, neglect, or exploitation; it was not your fault you were vulnerable; it was not your fault you had & are having reactions; & it is not shameful that you're struggling to find your way out of it without support. Breathe.

You are not "stupid" for missing red flags in people or organizations. Lots of factors beyond our awareness or control complicate how sensitive we're capable of being to many red flags-- & certain red flags are not at all evident except in hindsight. Grace over guilt.

There is no shame in choosing to deny someone access to your inner world. You don't owe anyone an apology-- or even an explanation-- for choosing to not open up to them. An essential part of trauma recovery is reclaiming our absolute right to gatekeep who has access to us & how.

And he still couldn't let it go about his perceptions of towns being less safe. I know from what he said that he has been Googling to try to discount the crime figures not agreeing with him, found that he couldn't make that case, and instead said he really meant "anti-social behaviour."

Bit weird how pushback against ill-informed or biased views is seen as more of an issue than aggressively right-wing agitators feeling vindicated and emboldened. Bit strange that so many people seem more comfortable with creeping fascism than with being asked to be decent about vulnerable groups.

A lot of people are reasonably very concerned that a well-liked comedian might be hurt by angry online comments, but are unconcerned that already piled-on and sometimes destitute immigrants might be hurt by false and alarmist online comments because they see the former as a person but not the latter
