In case you didn’t know - fetishization IS racism. It IS white supremacy. It IS hate. It IS violence against Asian women 1/ Don’t get confused. It took me a long time to dig in and understand this. Some, incl police/media, will try to say it’s not a race crime bc the terrorist’s confession of being a sex addict. IT ABSOLUTELY WAS. He fetishized Asian women. He didn’t target random massage parlors 2/

I've been reflecting in prayer all day in regards to the response from so many Christians who're shaming ppl for not "praying" for Trump, and demanding that we "ought" to be better.
And I finally realized why this has been bothering, upsetting, frustrating me all day.
1/11 This is what Christians do – they elevate, defend, stand by, and support the abuser, never the abused.
Trump is an abuser.
He is toxic. He is the embodiment of harmful narcissism. He is racist. He is misogynistic. He is patronizing. He isn't just an ableist but readily mocks

I like that there are ppl (cough loyal Trump supporting Christians cough) who‘re trying to claim moral high ground for Trump’s “coronavirus,” claiming ppl shld be sympathetic, heartbroken and if you’re laughing, you’re showing your true “in-Christian-like” colors. FUCK YOU. Where was your sympathy for those who’ve been sick, lost loved ones, or died?? While you’ve been screaming HOAX & fake news, refusing to wear masks, celebrating other Christians for gathering & not wearing masks. You loyal goats who have zero care for those who’ve been suffering

I didn’t knw abt the case of Susan Struck. Now that I have, I’ve even more respect for Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
To the anti-abortion (refuse to call them pro-lifers bc they aren’t) ppl who’re shit-talking RBG, celebrating her death, calling her a baby-killer, SUCK IT.
A thread 1/7 In the 60s/70s bf Roe v. Wade, abortion was not only legal on US military bases, it was actively ENCOURAGED, basically mandated.

Capt Susan Struck was a combat nurse in Vietnam. When she got pregnant in 1970, the Air Force gave her a choice: Get an abortion or be discharged.

If the news of Breonna Taylor’s murderers going scott free makes you respond with a justification, claiming they were shooting in self-defense because her boyfriend had the audacity to protect themselves after they trespassed with their bullshit no-knock warrant, THEN FUCK. YOU. If you, on a post lamenting of the injustice against Breonna Taylor, bring up the 2 officers shot last night, whose murderers hve alrdy been arrested & will face jail time, as a justification or “what aboutism” for Breonna‘s murderers to be free or justified, THEN FUCK. YOU.

Y'all, I am so tired of single-issue voters.
If you're anti-abortion thn actually advocate for issues, laws, policies tht wld lower pregnancies.

Support funding for
–single moms
–pregnancy prevention education
–birth control & emergency pills
1/4
Believe women and support greater punishment for rape and incest charges
–Understand, support systems tht lower the #s of abortion procedures done.

If you don't advocate any of these measures & only demand abortions be illegal, thn you don't actually give a shit abt abortion

I get so entertained when listening to an #Enneagram 3 tries to explain why they think they’re an 8 🙄🙄😒
No, honey boo boo
*Sidenote: I also love how 3s always think they’re 8s but never vice versa
#enneagram8 #millenagream Here’s how you can decipher if someone is truly an #enneagram 3 v 8
3s will relish in acceptance, accolades, credit even when they put out crap products vs 8s who will do exactly what this meme shows - burn it all down cause they know it’s crap and can’t stand tht ppl like it Image

So #ChrisHeuertz's org, Gravity, has released a statement claiming they had a 3rd party investigation done. I've heard the investigator actually had NO confidentiality disclaimer, didn't have ppl's names correct, was all around untrustworthy. I've been involved w other orgs tht had leadership called out abt abuse who also hired "3rd party investigators," who only ended up redacting info to make sure it showed no fault of the leadership. It's so shady whn the orgs owned or led by the accused leader run the investigation. We saw this w Willow Creek whn

At the end of the day, DeSean Jackson's posts shows how EVERYONE has to work on their antiracism. The fact tht ppl are saying there's ignorance about anti-semitism in the locker rooms doesn't surprise me. I know a lot of younger folks who've only known Jewish ppl to be "white." I've also met black ppl who're ignorant of the racism AsAms exp. But none of that negates the atrocities and racism black ppl face daily in this country. There's SO MUCH work to be done against anti-blackness. Stop making this an either/or issue. It's not.

The colonizing mindset goes so deep in whiteness and whyte culture that mediocre white men think they have a right and obligation to own obvious ideas, esp if they're from other ppl. Oh I just tasted poke, so I'll trademark it to now so I can own and profit off of something that's been in someone else's culture for 1000s of yrs 🙄😒

Let's also tlk abt the massive harm and trauma microaggressive predatory behavior, like #ChrisHeuertz's does to one's psyche. Just bc there was so physical assault dsnt mean there's no abuse or predatory behavior. It's manipulation, makes the victim seem crazy. Microaggressive abuse is so harmful bc first the victim nds to even process thru, acknowledge there WAS abuse. This takes so long. This is why the collective women coming together is so imp bc it's possibly the 1st time realizing, omg I'm not crazy. I wasn't overreacting or wrong

It's beyond imp for all #Enneagram folks to knw of the abusive predatory behavior of #ChrisHeuertz.
33 courageous women hve come fwd to brk dwn the wall of silence tht's been protecting him until now 1/20
#Metoo #ChurchToo #TimesUp
medium.com/@daphneeck/ope… But now is the time for these women's stories to be heard. Some of you will read this piece and have several thoughts that ALWAYS come up whn the issue of abuse comes up:
1) This sounds vindictive and vengeful
2) I know said abuser, he/she could never do anything like tht 2/20
