In my current WIP: Kit has the kind of laugh you make when someone says that they’re worried about you because your life is falling apart, and you laugh helplessly and go, “you’re right! It is!” Alistair laughs genuinely, because he’s already been there and came out the other side.

As the queer kid my parents went no contact with I can tell you I’ve never once not one single time ever seen an essay to parents about why cutting contact off with your lgbtq child isn’t the answer. Not even to say ‘putting a child on the streets is dangerous for them.’

A big part of socialization is learning to fake emotional reactions to conform to expectations. Those who fake poorly are called rude. Sometimes they are! Just assholes who only care about themselves. Other times they’re just not sure when it’s appropriate to lie and when it’s time to be honest.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Huh. Today in "always look up the etymology because sometimes you're just repeating a myth but sometimes it's weirder and more incredible than you could have possibly imagined" www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/c...
Screenshot of Merriam Webster etymology note for cockamamie: 
By the look and sound of it, cockamamie (also spelled "cockamamy") could have something to do with a rooster and the outrageous sound it makes. But in fact, cockamamie is believed to be an altered form of the term decalcomania, which refers to the process, invented in the mid-19th century, of transferring pictures and designs from specially prepared paper to surfaces such as glass or porcelain. (The word referring to the picture or design itself, decal, is a shortening of decalcomania.) The word decalcomania comes from French, with décalcomanie combining the verb décalquer, meaning "to trace" or "to transfer by tracing," and -manie, meaning "-mania." Starting in the 1930s, painted strips of paper with images capable of being transferred to the skin were called decals or—in children's slang—cockamamies. Those familiar with today's temporary tattoos will understand quickly that these were regarded by many as silly novelties, lending the word cockamamie the necessary leeway for application to anything ridiculous.

The people who need to be pressured to leave relationships are abusers, not the victims who they entrap. The main message shouldn’t be “leave relationships that are controlling” (which focuses on a victim’s behavior) but “leave relationships you can’t maintain without being controlling.”
