The conversation needs to shift from telling women (how) not to get råped to telling boys about consent, men not to fucking råpe, AND OTHER MEN TO SPEAK OUT TO OTHER MEN when they hear or see something from fellow men that seems predatory. #IAmJaneDoe #Cornell57 #MeToo #BelieveWomen #Consent

I was 10-12, 18, 33, and more. I was raised in a James Dobson household + being (a late diagnosed, but lifelong) Autistic, both of which were programmed to accept shoving what feels Not The Fuck Okay to us aside for being accommodating, and that's another intersecting issue. #IAmJaneDoe #MeToo

Stop telling girls and women to act certain ways in order to not be assaulted, and start raising boys that will grow to be men that never think of assault as an option. #MeToo #IAmJaneDoe

The fact that California *just* banned child marriage is wild af, but at least we did it- after damn NINE YEARS trying. If that and the fact that it's still legal in THIRTY TWO FUCKING STATES doesn't tell you how many pedos are in office, I don't know what will. #ProtectChildren #EndChildMarriage

My sister and I will be in Berkeley, Ca this weekend- where should we do lunch and dinner? What should we see? (Aside from @toriamos.bsky.social at the Greek, which is the Main Event and I am SO excited!)

This is true of any care relationship- friendship, parenting, romantic, and beyond. 💚

Image is of a beach before sunset and reads:

“When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity - in freedom, in the sense that the dancers are free, barely touching as they pass, but partners in the same pattern.

The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now. Relationships must be like islands, one must accept them for what they are here and now, within their limits - islands, surrounded and interrupted by the sea, and continually visited and abandoned by the tides.”

— Anne Morrow Lindbergh, "The Gift From The Sea”

Is growing up undiagnosed neurodivergent synonymous with feeling like you're always doing something wrong just by existing? I feel like this can't be just me. #LateDiagnosis #AuDHD #Neurodivergent

Hitting is abuse, full stop. It also teaches that physical and emotional pain is an intrinsic part of love. How are you gonna teach impulse control while displaying none? If you aren't a safe place who/where will be? The kid isn't respecting you, they're surviving you. Stop hitting children.

Women: How old were you the first time that you experienced SA, & what were you taught about autonomy growing up? I was raised Lutheran: I had to wear itchy church clothes & provide physical affection when asked. The abuse started at 9 & continued for years. All my kids know the meaning of "No."

Reminder that the singular "they" has been in use for over 600 years. It isn't "woke", it's plain English. 💁🏼‍♀️

Happy Non-binary Person's Day! 💛🤍💜🖤 Reminder that non-binary people can present any way they want to. They don't owe us androgyny, or to present in the same way they did the day before. You are not owed your (extremely shallow) concept of gender presentation. Respect pronouns and let people live.

I would like to call an important reminder for an annual celebration today of something that has nourished & sustained people everywhere without discrimination of race, religion, or orientation of any kind- invented by an Italian immigrant in Tijuana, Mexico. Happy 102th birthday to Caesar salad! 🥗

I do, too- and have cut off family that voted for the Tangerine Tyrant, even though my mom and sisters have both flown out to visit them and stay in touch. It's really hard, but my kids come first.

I am *so* sorry that happened to you. I also have lost a son, but at 14 months and to SUDC. Good on you for boundaries bc Berkeley is THE MOST anti-racist, most positive, progressive schools I know of and he obviously had a good mama. ❤️‍🩹

Gender is a spectrum, so is being bi, autistic, and so many other things. Trying to police how people view, present, and express themselves is beyond self-righteous, it's diabolical- and it has a body count. Life is not binary, stop trying to force the people just trying to live it to be. 🏳️‍🌈♾️🌈✨️

I cut off my Trump-voting cousin and my family acts like *I'm* the problem and still fully engages with her, while "She's family..."ing me. 😑 So frustrating and hurtful in several ways.

I will *never* tell my kids, "Well, they're still family..." Blood is not a hall pass for harmful, toxic, or abusive behavior. Access to us is earned. Anyone who harms- or voted for someone whose policies cause harm to- me or mine can fck directly off, disrespectfully. #Boundaries #Parenting

If Trump self-proclaiming he's the "President of Peace" while having attacked or threatened 1 out of 13 countries in existence & detaining over 6k children (inflicting lifelong trauma) doesn't show how glaringly delulu & dangerous he and his followers are, nothing will. #Resist #FuckTrump #FuckICE

Now RFK is trying to link *circumcision* with Autism bc of the Tylenol after? I'm ALL for leaving kids intact- routine cosmetic procedures on baby genitals is barbaric and a huge violation of autonomy- but it doesn't cause Autism, genetics do. That brain worm is whispering some weird shit, man.

It's our job as parents to make our children grow up with more kindness, respect, bodily autonomy, (as well as diagnosis and accommodations for us ND folk!) acceptance, inclusiveness, and less trauma than we had, but it's not their job to appreciate that we struggled more. #Parenting #CycleBreaker

You can't call yourself pro-life if you don't vote to support lives of people who already exist. 💁🏼‍♀️ That's pro-controlling uterus-havers and pro-birth. Voting for someone to exist & then not providing them support in order to do so at every age that follows being born is diabolically hypocritical.

The Progressive Parent @savagepatchkids.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Trump announcing his own private, cash-only "TrumpRx" website with only expensive, brand-name options that excludes use by Medi-Cal and Medicaid clients (and not just by price, we're literally blocked) instead of providing Universal Healthcare is top tier villany. People over (pedos and) profits.

Parenting is political, and so are holidays. While mothers should be seen and supported year round, so should uterus-havers that choose *not* to give birth. Until our choice to say no to pregnancy is respected and protected, our choice to say yes never will be. #MothersDay #ProChoice #ProWoman
