signs you’re recovering from long term abuse:

  • bursts of rage, or continuous rage at what was done to you
  • desire to overpower, restrain, chain up, torture or murder your abuser
  • clarity and full belief in your perception, complete rejection of abuser’s point of view
  • no longer caring what the abuser thinks of you, knowing their opinion is worthless and filled with lies
  • cutting off abusers easily as soon as you notice they’re toxic to you
  • willingness to do whatever it takes to fight for your life
  • rage at anyone who would cause any further abuse to you
  • strong conviction that hurting you is evil, and that anyone who does hurt you should be villified for it
  • full belief that anyone who hurts you is not to be excused for their actions, not given further trust, and that they should pay for it
  • valuing your freedom of movement, freedom of mind, safety of resources and ability to survive more than any kind of uncertain hopes, promises or validation
  • unwillingness to depend on someone’s view of you, opinion of you, or affection towards you, as it could change at any second and causes instability and anxiety
  • valuing stability more than highs and lows
  • ability to detect when someone is trying to confuse you, divert your point, make you look bad with the intention of punishing or controlling you, silence you or make themselves superior to you, and reacting with rage
  • avalanche of rage at any attempt to gaslight you, not willing for one second to doubt your own memory, being completely clear that anyone who pretends they didn’t do and say things they did is lying
  • unwillingness to consider yourself less valuable or important than other humans, and getting angry whenever you’re treated in such manner
  • refusing to do as you’re told, even if it makes people angry, knowing that what you want to do is more important than what anyone else wants from you
  • owning your life for yourself and knowing nobody else has any right to it
  • anger at everyone who could have helped you while you were abused and didn’t, anger at anyone who sided with your abusers, anger at system which allowed for you to be abused for so long, anger at helplessness to change it
  • recognition of your situation and full awareness you were helpless during abuse, and that none of it is remotely your fault
  • unwillingness to pretend and act in social situations
  • unwillingness abandon your morals, feelings, opinions and personality for the sake of pretend friendships and pretend relationships, only seeking real connections that don’t require you to make yourself socially acceptable
  • distrust in anyone who you notice is demanding authority, control, abuse and exploitation of another’s life, recognizing abusers and those who abuse the power of their social or economic standing and being actively disgusted by them
  • no delusions about people “only wanting the best for you” or “only wanting to help” while they’re hurting you, rejecting all harmful and useless advice and minimization of your pain

the fact that community colleges are seen as less valid and for “stupid” people is a result of classism and in this essay I will-

ppl in the tags saying that it’s “genuinely a lesser tier of education because people go there for trades and nursing and thats about it” are just proving that its classism. bc a) no thats absolutely not correct. a good chunk of people that go to community colleges do so to knock out their gen eds at a lower price than they’d be if they went to a four year, then transfer to a four year. and more importantly b) trade professions are not lesser than other professions that take higher degrees. people who go into things that take associates degrees are not “stupid”.

if you think ppl who are too poor to attend a four year university for all four years, or that ppl who are too poor to/don’t want to get their bachelor’s/master’s/doctorate are “stupid” then i have news for you:

thats classism, babe

The wolf is so done with the fox’s bs 😂

Foxes are cat software being run on dog hardware.  Clearly this fox is operating on the Kitten OS.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

“Your family is going to see this. How do you feel?” Erdmann asked, according to people who saw the video.

Malcolm honked twice as he sped away, driving 30 minutes back home to his parents’ house in Torrington, where he hanged himself.
