I don't believe "everything happens for a reason."

But I do choose to believe everything that happens to me & all of my responses, even the very imperfect ones, can teach me something I can use to strengthen & stabilize my trauma recovery.

I'm not wasting this pain.

"They" are going to try to convince you you are "responsible" for their emotional reactions-- because "they" are not working a recovery. Those of us who are working our trauma recovery know, & remember, that we cannot "make" anyone feel anything or "control" anyone's behavior.

Just had a coworker say that she hopes her daughter never has a seizure as bad as my numerous ones.
...um...I hope so, too?
Why did I have to be told that?

To understand the life of a person with cPTSD, is to understand they’ve experienced multiple traumas and after each one, people taught them how to adapt to that pain, rather than making the traumas stop.

One reason why trauma recovery can feel so weird for survivors is, we've been convinced we don't "deserve" to feel or function better. That "who do you think you are?" voice can be very loud.

Who do you think you are? You're a survivor who deserves recovery-- that's EXACTLY who.

Ah, it's always such a delight to have my weekend cut in half because the coworker that is fucking my supervisor decided to call out again.
It is so pathetic how whipped she has got this guy.

It's not our fault the whole scene is A MESS. If you are an artist too you aren't failing. The whole industry is getting messed up right now!!

I know a lot of the times I feel like "why am I not good enough?"

We are good enough. they are trying to hire NOBODY
For those not in those circles, I just need to remind you that losing a job to AI is not a vibes based idea. We are being told explicitly by art directors that we are being weighed against AI for jobs, people on teams fighting against the AD and you. It sucks. It’s demoralizing.

I don't care if a non-disabled person accesses a disability accommodation for the same reason I don't care if a child whose parents are rich gets free lunch at school. We don't need to means test being a kind person. I have better things to do with my time than be a cop over social services.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

i think the inability to tell the difference between "i don't like it" and "i don't like it so i have to figure out a way to imply this thing i don't like is morally evil" is the most fundie thing i see people who are aren't technically fundie regularly do these days

Evening before Thanksgiving, our ginger kitty (L) had a severe allergic reaction. Emergency vet saved him, but he wasn’t bouncing back like we’d hoped, and a follow-up visit for further testing revealed pneumonia. We would deeply appreciate help with affording his care. ❤️

Maybe it's making things worse, but at least it's trying.

I am loving the way this pink eye shadow makes my eyes look sunken in and emphasizes the shadows under my eyes. I look like I've got the plague and it's great. Helps get people to leave me alone.
I am dead serious about this, too. (Pun intended.)

While this article goes very rightly into the disrespect actors have faced in dubbing, underneath that is an entire ecosystem of abused and rushed freelancers doing the timecoding, adapting, directing, engineering, and mixing who Amazon also attempted to cut.

Amazon's AI anime dubbing fiasco reminds us that voice actors are severely undervalued
Amazon recently rolled out bad AI-generated dubs for several anime on Prime Video, demonstrating yet again that voice actors are undervalued.

Survivors often walk around feeling like we're keeping all these secrets-- even if we're not quite clear what those "secrets" even are.

You need to know there is nothing that happened to you or that you struggle w/ now that is shameful-- even if you're not ready to tell anyone.
