public: book/link request
Anyone know any good books or information about helping someone in a DV situation? I've got plenty of shelter literature, but it seems to go right over the heads of the people who need to get it. If at all possible, I need spoonfeed-easy stuff aimed at the culturally brainwashed, no assumption of prior independent thought, psychology or knowledge ( Read more... ) -
yuck
All right, who the hell am I, doesn't matter, but jblaque, this is not cool. You don't get to call yourself a feminist and then treat women like this, period. Telling a woman, yes, gasp, even a woman you disagree with, that she doesn't have to be so rude, and calling her a "cunt", means you have a hell of a lot of internalized--or not so internalized-- ( Read more... ) -
yep.
I should probably keep this deleted for all time but I can't yet. Funny to think that some scary folks no doubt have the entire thing archived and printed and are highlighting Significant Parts et cetera before bed every night, while I haven't even saved it myself ( Read more... ) -
to ginmar etc.
My parents are no longer safe, indeed never were, but at least now I know that for certain. They're goddamn abusers and they're also spineless bystanders, funny how those'll go together sometimes. ginmar, if you should ever have any further business with me, do not contact my parents. They might try to get information out of you. Either contact me ( Read more... ) -

People who've never used coin-operated laundry or taken public transit: do you still have nightmares where you can't kill all the demons because you've run out of quarters? -

Ten. Years. *wonders where the rest of the Fledermaus cast is now*
At least one of 'em's singing at the Met. I wonder how many ended up homeless? Besides me, I mean. We were kind of a shitty orchestra with a few dedicated, true musical souls bearing with here and there.

My dreams have been exceedingly weird, and tend to start as something common, like me flunking a math test, and turn into Disney movies about retiring cart-horses who've been economically squeezed out of the marketplace now that they can't wear cute hats during their work. No-one wants to ride in a cart pulled by a hatless horse, you see. And ( Read more... ) -

Running for president while female. One more time, idiots: SHE WAS NOT CRYING. Tells more about you than about Clinton, that's for sure.
How much more can they hate us? --trigger warning puts it mildly.
Heart and Suki and everyone who speaks out. Thank you. -
I got nothin'
Nothing but a swimmy headcold and the too-familiar sense of things getting away from me again. Thank you, depression or ovulation or Mercury or whatever the hell this is. At least Jodie's there for me. I don't know if I could possibly love her more in Silence of the Lambs because of some completely irrelevant knowledge of her personal life, but ( Read more... )
