How do we get an entire jury pool of women who have been sexually harassed/assaulted by men in the entertainment industry??? Because those are his peers. Women who were trying to follow their dreams but were left with the broken shards of a shattered career or tattered pieces of a ruined reputation

I saw one story about Harvey Weinstein & now I want to punch someone. Being nice to a disgusting old man because he's the gatekeeper of Hollywood is the not the same thing as being his girlfriend. How many times are we going to go over this?? Being polite to a man ≠ 'I want to fuck you'

🤣🤣🤣

Hating on white women is completely understandable, because what whiteness values is worth hating, and we are half that population.

But if you only bag on Karens, and excuse the behavior of white men?

Imo that’s just ✨sparkling misogyny✨

She's definitely got the family sass!

🤣 It's multitasking so I guess I never considered it may go by they. That's on me

Lol I guess I should have been clearer: I meant regular as in normal. Not regular as in on a consistent basis

It's amazing

It must be nice to get regular DMs from other people...

Why is no one talking about how good the TRESemmé Bouncy Curls Multi-Tasking Hair Mask is?

today i was told i have to "hand it to tucker carlson". no i don't.

🤣 no. you really don't

I'm sitting at the vet's office waiting for them to take Milly back & just texting my friend about how stupid Alex Jones & Owen Shroyer are

I'm pretty averse to making fun of people's voices due to my own being made fun of for basically my entire life. But Dan & Jordan on Knowledge Fight describing Tucker as sounding like a racist Muppet is 100% accurate

But we can choose differently. We can make the choice to not be a part of this senselessness. False scarcity is a construct. The more you think about it the less sense it makes. Never stop thinking for yourself.

It's also just childish as hell & any moderately intelligent person can see through this act. If completely knocking someone out of the competition is the only way to succeed, there is something deeply flawed in the system. However we grow up learning that this is just how it goes...

Waking up on a Monday morning to straight up pettiness... 🫠 Attempting to make someone appear unqualified for their job for the sake of furthering ones own career is somehow a choice people continue to make. Please understand that this is part of capitalism & part of why the US economy is failing 🧵

will get me to a place where I'm able to establish & maintain semi-normal relationships. Because while I truly do prefer to be alone for the most part, I find myself feeling lonely at times & I know this isn't a feeling that is just going to go away.

I hope what I'm saying resonates with someone out there. I've been open about my therapy over the last few years with the hope that something I say or realize in this process might be helpful to someone else. I'm hoping that getting more perspective on the choices I've made in the past

I now realize the reason I felt so strongly about him was not because we were 'meant to be' or 'soul mates' but because I had never felt that way (or had a reason to feel that way) about anyone else. I hadn't ever experienced kindness in any consistent way.

When I first met this person it seemed like the least "crazy" I had ever felt. In retrospect, I wish I had still been in therapy at the time because I could have used some perspective. Because after he broke my heart it took me years to get over him. I couldn't rationalize any of it to myself.

I suppose the reason I'm writing about this is because I know other people with Cptsd have had similar experiences. It feels like one of those things that is not uncommon among us but that we don't necessarily specifically address.

as far back as I could remember but it had never felt like that. It felt like I was being punished for believing that someone could love me. It felt cruel that I would finally meet someone who liked me (even with all of my flaws) only for him to end up breaking my heart anyway.

This happened to me in my early 20s & once my person inevitably showed that they were human & therefore capable of mistakes, my first thought was "I knew it was only a matter of time before he would hurt me". I laid catatonic on the floor in the dark. I'd experienced depression

Once you realize this person is not superhuman, you may revert back to doubting your feelings about yourself. You realize your brain was so deprived of approval that you latched on to the first person who showed you kindness & you placed them up on a pedestal.

Then when someone comes along & completely up ends those beliefs, the way you feel about that person can be blown out of proportion. You feel like they are your savor or the love of your life when in reality they are just another person trying their best.

When you grow up feeling like you don't matter & then someone finally makes you feel like you do, it's euphoric & confusing. Not or barely feeling accepted by the people who are supposed to love you unconditionally makes you feel like you are fatally flawed.

Speaking from personal experience, when you grow up abused or neglected you will inevitably reach a point beyond that where you feel loved, validated, desired, &/or accepted by someone. You will believe what you are feeling is happiness & while that is part of it, it's not all of it. 🧵
