(Thread) I have a lot of sad stuff happening over the next little bit. Father’s Day was the first hurdle, next is the anniversary of the last time I saw my sister, on Matthew’s birthday. He turns 9 this Saturday. Then my sister’s birthday, 6/30, then the anniversary 1/
Of the day of her brain aneurysm 7/11, the day she was pronounced brain dead 7/13. Then my father’s birthday on 8/7. The anniversary of his death is in 9/28. I think this is just a grief block I’m trying to get through right now.
Sorry, I was in the middle of writing and had to cook dinner, planning isn’t really my thing.
So, I’ve decided I’m just going to allow myself to feel stuff, for once. See how that goes. Wish me luck, usually I have a massive breakdown around now and end up in the ER with
Panic attacks, thinking I’m having a brain aneurysm, or heart attack, and I start doing dangerous things that I shouldn’t…
Dangerous isn’t the right word, risky things, just like, things I know I’m not supposed to do but I rationalize them that I need to feel something other than heartbreak.
So, I’m going to vent here on occasion, and try to just get through everyday, rawdogging my emotions and life. I already don’t like it. Father’s Day SUUUUCKED! I just wanted to stay in bed and cry, but I did everything I could to make it nice for my hubby.

Please DO NOT come after this person but I’d like to delve into how religion is used to control the poor and uneducated. See if we all understood that justice and equality were only options in our mortal bodies, the poor would eat the rich.
Just a friendly reminder that at one point, EVERY SINGLE RELIGION was just a small cult, lead by a creepy asshat that told everyone they spoke to god. Every member of the cult had family members going “can you believe Jebediah is dumb enough to fall for this guy?!”
I’m anti-theist, because I believe religion holds us back as a society.
The subjugation of women, and gays occurs in almost every religious text.
It makes a group of people feel as though they are superior over another.
It fuels mental illness, by making people believe in
Demons, angels, ghosts, and the supernatural.
It gives leeway to ideals of slavery, rape, incest, torture, and child marriage.
Scientists knew how bad everything was and warned us. Then billionaires worked up a campaign to put ALL of the blame for global warming and pollution onto citizens. We were taught in school that it was all our fault. If only we turned off the water while brushing our teeth, 1/
And recycled our plastic, everything would be fine. The problem wasn’t them, it was us.
They turned us against one another, so that we would feel self righteous when we told people to recycle.
Meanwhile, they knew most of the recycled plastic ended up in the landfill. 2/
They paid politicians to say that climate change wasn’t real so we could keep cars on the streets, destroying us all.
There wasn’t money in supporting mass transit, and alternate energy.
They taught us in school that it was all our fault, AS CHILDREN, and I believed it. 3/
Today a troll accused me of some things, and I like to look at that sort of stuff and roll it around in my head.
I don’t dwell on it with malice, just curiosity, and my best attempt at self assessment.
The first thing they said was that I’m a narcissist. 1/
That was easy to debunk because I suck. Like a lot.
Then they accused me of crying about my life all the time. I’m sorry if I do that. I actually have wonderful silly kids, and a husband I adore. I just don’t feel the need to rub my happiness in people’s faces. 2/
The third thing they accused me of is being a drama queen. Well if my crown fits, I’ll wear it. 😂 drama is all around us, and I find it and I get into it. I just have a lust for justice, and a desire to protect people. I myself, am not dramatic. I’m boring. 3/
If you ever wondered why I’m honest about my shortcomings on social media, it’s because I want to normalize being human.
Being dysfunctional, seeing a therapist, having panic attacks, making mistakes, and being a mess are all natural. Social media can make you feel broken.1/
By promoting people with perfect bodies and perfect homes leading their perfect lives. Their kids are all on the honor roll, and their cars are all worth over 100,000 dollars…
And you can feel like crap because you don’t add up.
You’re normal. 2/
That’s all smoke and mirrors, and them only putting on their best face for social media.
I assure you rich people aren’t better than you, or happier.
If you feel like you have to hide your imperfections from the world, you don’t. You being imperfect makes you relatable.
I saw someone say that “Karen” is a misogynistic term and that we shouldn’t use it. The truth is; white woman tears, and gatekeeping attitudes have caused a lot of trauma, death, and heartache. White women need to be held accountable for this victim complex we can weaponize. 1/
Keeping trans women down, getting black men arrested and killed, using our voices to harass employees, and people in the service industry, are gross uses of the power white woman tears hold, but there is more subtle things we also need to address. 2/
Black women feel as though they can’t show up to school to drop their kids off, without looking styled and perfect, or white women will call cps on them.
Did you know CPS takes away more children from black families? 3/
