  Major update in our court case: I've been granted another temporary DVPO after the family court services parenting plan evaluation was released. It Is the result of months of in-depth research into our case, and it outlines dozens of ways that my child's father has engaged in domestic violence, coercive control, and neglect of our child. The report relies on contact with numerous medical professionals who have witnessed the abuse.

  Today is my birthday and we just crossed $10,000 donated toward my legal fund as a DV survivor. Little me is so grateful to big me for getting out, and for doing everything I can to protect my toddler. It's truly an honor to have the resources to keep going despite ongoing abuse and the patriarchal nastiness of family court. Cheers to this kid. We've made it 37 years. Let's keep building the world they needed back then. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

  I can't boost this directly because it's a reply to someone who has me blocked, but omg, my hero 😂 I *love* the generosity of the fediverse but it sure has been wild to see folks fund an abuser with tens of thousands of dollars to harm me & my child. Of course, folks don't know what's happening behind the scenes—and I can't share many specifics until court concludes—but I have to smile when folks call him out.

  "You were always reading. You had a book in every room, at every meal, at every family gathering that was too loud and too much and somehow also not enough. Adults praised you for it and your parents told the story with pride the way other parents talked about athletic trophies. She was always so advanced. He just loved to learn." https://lindseymackereth.substack.com/p/you-werent-just-a-gifted-reader-you 1/ #adhd #autism #neurodivergent #books #bookstodon #reading

  It's not true that it costs nothing to be kind. It costs self-reflection. It costs a moment to pause and consider. It costs taking the time to listen and understand what's needed in the moment—which means taking in the whole situation, and letting go of your own projections. Kindness is radical. Kindness with healthy boundaries is more so. Kindness isn't free and we can't always spare the price. But it's worth it when you can practice coming back to it day after day.

  "For the last month, I’ve run a series, Deconstructing Masculinity, that speaks to men. This was a direct response to the hundreds of men who have asked me to put together a curriculum that helps them become better husbands and fathers while rooting out their sexist ideas. "The responses to this series replicate the misogyny I see in real life: aggression from the overwhelming majority of men, and deafening silence from the self-appointed 'good' men."...

  Children who are too young to mask deserve to be in public without contracting a deadly and/or disabling disease (or any disease, really). Everyone who chooses not to mask in public forces parents to choose between isolation and high risk. Everyone who chooses not to mask in public decreases the quality of life for families with young children. 1/ #covid #covidisntover #longcovid #maskup #hantavirus #humanrights

  If people were aware, en masse, of the extent of what we're facing, grocery store shelves would be empty tomorrow and most other essential goods would be sold out the day after that. We would be combining households, planting gardens, minimizing all of our expenses, and trying to sell our cars. (Though there would be no market for cars because everyone would know they'll be useless soon enough.) 2/4 #oil #diesel #foodcrisis #foodshortage #uspol

  Most of us have no idea how dependent we are on #oil. Case in point: disposable diapers. Almost all disposable diapers use petroleum-based components: "Petroleum serves as a raw material for many plastics. Its components make diapers soft, flexible, water-repellent, and particularly absorbent. A commonly used material is superabsorbent polymer. This plastic product can absorb multiple times its own weight in liquid—a reason why many diaper manufacturers use it." https://ww...

  It's okay if you need more than you can give right now. You matter. You are not a burden. And there are people who are honored to be the ones you turn to when you're struggling.

  Tfw you realize that your abuser never actually cared about taking COVID precautions & was just using it to control & isolate you. Bc when your child is sick with cold & flu symptoms & you ask him if he's taken a COVID test, he says "Why would I? I don't have any symptoms" & meanwhile he's been taking the unmasked kid on crowded public transit (which wasn't an option when you were together even w/o a car w...

  Patriarchy requires girls & women to be pleasant, compliant, and decorative. We give girls many options for hair, clothing, and accessories while boys have few. Girl clothing is cuter, but don't put it on a child with a penis because then people might think the child has a vulva, which is humiliating. Girls are supposed to be cute. Boys are supposed to be people.

  Intersectionality means *recognizing the complexity of oppression & structures of power.* It means centering Black disabled voices when anti-Blackness & ableism collide. It means centering Black women when anti-Blackness & misogyny collide. It means centering Black trans people when anti-Blackness & transphobia collide. It means not pretending that two marginalized groups are two completely separate entities who are in competition. PEOPLE EXIST AT THE INTERSEC...

  We are 6 years into the pandemic. 3 COVID shots don't make you "fully vaxxed." Even if you have gotten the maximum number of boosters that you're eligible for, with a minimum of one per year, you're not COVID-safe if you're not masking with a respirator. And if, like most people, your immune system and overall health are degraded from multiple COVID infections, you're more prone to carrying around other infections and more susceptible to...

  I've been trying to hold back from correcting my ex's lies about me, and focusing on court. But the way he twists the narrative to victimize himself & fundraise thousands of dollars to abuse me & our child is never not appalling. In past posts he's used the passive voice to relay that "cops were called," but failed to specify that cops were called *by him* because he had baseless accusations to make about me or someone else. Today I cal...
