It can be hard for CPTSD survivors who never had the safety or support to really develop our identity to take that project on as adults. Starting from scratch is intimidating. Begin by making a big list of things you like, that light you up (even a little), & looking for themes.
I wanted to take this time to share my appreciation for the great Maddie Blaustein, yesterday was her Birthday and she would've turned 66. If you didn't know, Maddie Blaustein was a intersex trans voice actress and she's best remembered as the voice of Meowth In Pokémon. (4Kids) 🏳️⚧️🧵 #maddieblaustein
And when we're told to 'just get over it' for too long, *bad things happen y'all*. It's not even that a lot of us are asking for help (though we usually are, and could really use it)--it's that we want people to fucking believe what we're experiencing.

It's doing all the life stuff we have to do-- work, grocery shopping, paying bills, going to funerals-- w/ Trauma Brain trying to hijack us 100% of the time. The "just get over it" crew doesn't understand that.

Nice to see all the Nick Cage love (yes, that is his preferred spelling of his shortened first name) on the feed today. A true thoughtful artist, whose movies vary wildly in quality, but his performances in those movies are *always* intentional, interesting, and worthy of deep appreciation.

what incredible beauty there is in just existing for a moment. to sit and breathe and have a pumping heart. to let any goals or expectations fall away. to think 'wow i am here.' life is an unfathomable blessing but in quiet moments of acknowledgment i think we can at least REACH for understanding
'Maybe I'm not really sick and nothing's wrong and I just need to push myself harder' Folks, if you're already pushing yourself past what you consider your limits, I promise pushing harder will not help. You'll just end up breaking yourself.
Here on Bluesky my (or anyone's) participation in your online life is contingent on consent, and if I or anyone else withdraws it, that should be the end of it. A subsequent screencap after a quote removal suggests that consent is not a thing you care about, which is good for the rest of us to know.

If you want to learn more about how pervasive and normalized college sexual assault is, I recommend the book Missoula by Jon Krakauer. It’s a tough read but essential.
I’ve learned not to follow up too closely on if those individuals end up in prison It’s paralyzing when they don’t go to the hospital instead of to prison I’m going to keep doing this work so that folks don’t rot in jail if where they need to be is treatment This is a huge part of my perspective
today's hardware designers could never conceive of what Kazuo Kawasaki was doing in 1996
CPTSD is not primarily about what happened to us. It's about how what happened to us turned us into someone we didn't choose. The "just get over it" people don't understand that. We don't "just get over" who we've become. We have to recondition, rewire, reshape ourselves.
I just kind of feel like if you say that being evil is good, you've failed every basic semantic and philosophical test so severely that you should be hogtied and left in the Nunavut tundra
There are barely any women or black people in games media and I can think of a couple reasons why but no one will like it
