Ain’t nothing morally superior about deciding who gets to not be traumatized based on how their parents voted.

My Niffty hot take that I'm really hoping is true is she was not *lobotomized*. She was *traumatized*

Yup. That's how one should talk to a group of kids WHO ARE ALREADY TRAUMATIZED. Jesus Effing Christ.

Took forever to find something in The Seance of Blake Manor because I refused to explore the bathrooms for the longest time. Not my fault, Colonel’s Bequest traumatized me.

this is a difference you see between more "traditional" detective stories (holmes, poirot etc), where the dapper detective is more removed from the action itself, and noir and hardboiled detective fiction, where the troubled, traumatized, alcoholic detective shapes and is shaped by the plot
my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

On the eve of the Sandy Hook anniversary, there has been another campus shooting. This time at Brown University.
To the people in power: this is your legacy.
Thirteen years. Thirteen years of dead children, traumatized students, shattered families — while you stall, deflect, and do nothing.

Sometimes I see people talking about trauma as the root of the world's problems, and I just don't agree.
The people who do the most harm aren't the most traumatized, but the most privileged and powerful.

Just watched an interview with a young woman that fled the shooting rampage at Brown University today. She was traumatized. She was also a student at the Mass Shooting that occurred at Marjorie Stoneman High in Florida back in 2018. That killed 17 people, and injured more.

He’s not wrong. But it’s understandable that you’re traumatized by what we’re going through.

We can’t take 3 more years of this‼️

It’s what happens when a community is made up of deeply traumatized people that have been living in a decade of “social justice treated as fandom wars” discourse.

Ds often are boring hypocrites (and hideously so on Gaza), but it's just increasingly clear that people were angry at inflation and probably still traumatized by covid.

i don’t like the “trans people only discourse so much because we’re ✨all traumatized✨” narrative i see from time to time. that is not true. i scream at people online because it is fun

391 mass shootings this year, 13,929 shooting deaths. Not even accounting for all the injured, forever traumatized and broken families.
This country is fundamentally broken.

just get into Animorphs, the series about how if you push a group of children into the front lines of war they'll become traumatized, not become cops, written by an openly supportive parent to a trans child.
You don't have to go down swingin for Harry Potter. You can simply become obsessed with something else
There are so many cool things to be obsessed about, you may never run out in your lifetime. Ask people for recs, I dunno
A key to happiness is like... loving 3-5 creative works every few years

...but the narrative doesn't yield to it. blanc pops in/out and solves the mystery, that's never in doubt. he's a dapper little guy who is emphatically not traumatized. there's a return to an older model of detective fiction that's less discouraged about the possibility of repairing what's broken

Honestly, I’m furious. Sandy Hook should have been the end of this. Yet on its anniversary more children are dead, injured, and traumatized. It is a horror that is entirely preventable. And we should prevent it. It is not impossible. No matter what the received wisdom has become.

A brief perusal of the subliterate gachaslop aimed at kids today partially explains this, but also, Catcher in the Rye is about an unlikable, traumatized dork from an era that is now passed; that distance actually makes it more useful to today's unlikable, traumatized dorks, not less.
my teen's school still assigns whole books, thankfully, but I'm regularly surprised how little the reading list hasn't changed from when I was in HS. Some stuff still hits—Of Mice and Men and Their Eyes Were Watching God, recently—but Catcher in the Rye in 2025? Why?
Kids Rarely Read Whole Books Anymore. Even in English Class.

we spent the night out last night, came back late, and the cat was so traumatized she brought us fourteen (14) toys and put them in the bed while we were sleeping. she only actually plays with two of them.

Gun violence has traumatized so many communities in this country. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Pass gun safety laws AND ban assault weapons!
