Like I've been saying since 11/2/2016, things are going to get very, VERY dark - and very quickly now.

Especially if you're a survivor of sexual violence in any form, please - read this article. If it affects you, PLEASE - reach out to friends or professionals for support;

if you can find a therapist or support group, get signed up now... before you feel you need the help

When you find someone with availability, insurance can be a barrier to getting the services you need...

We all need to get as close to the point where we can recognize violence we've experienced in the past is not our fault, and to know where that blame needs to be placed: on the predators themselves, and the institutions that protect them.

We need to ensure justice meets the predators, and that change finds the value system at the core of those institutions that enable & promote predation - if those institutions remain immutable, those in power must be dethroned, the institutions eviscerated and replaced.

It's going to be ugly.

We're going to have to be strong.

And we need to know unequivocally: we are the only ones who can - and must - ensure that change happens.

Because we are stronger than the predators who leverage institutional weaknesses to protect them.

We are the survivors.
We've defeated their desire to destroy us.

And when we band together, we will destroy what they have built to compensate for their own weakness.

Forever.
