being abused made my "real work,"
(eg. fighting ppl who destroyed the land & stole territory, using my skillset to untangle vast social problems & research solutions, tracking systemic abuse & finding the core architects of genocide)
so much harder.

having to take two years off to recover from my tbi (which i got in an abusive situation), and do enough emdr so i could go in public again without having a panic attack .... curtailed my "real work" so much.

abuse within the movement stymies activism, change making & bad actor hunting sososo much. we absolutely need internal liberation & internal safe guards.

because if we are not even safe at home, in our organizing circles, in our beds, in our most intimate moments, we will be missing so much necessary strength... strength we absolutely need to muster, to fight the oppressive, structural cruelty.
