I think about this a lot, too. You can share your stories on social or blogs or vlogs and people say, “yay, good for you for taking back your narrative” but they won’t pay for shit to make sure you can get more therapy & anyone can just take your story. https://twitter.com/wagatwe/status/1319319524638748672

What is “justice” when you can’t have a flashback without someone throwing it in your face and calling you crazy? What is “justice” when you can’t get back the YEARS you lost to victim-blaming, the relationships you lost b/c ppl blamed you for how hard it is to heal from this?

What is “justice” when people can use your words to seem “woke” but you’re toiling away struggling to survive and barely hanging in there and nobody gives a shit about your prosperity and ACTUAL healing?

It goes without saying that the people who care the least are the ones with the power to make life a lot easier for you and the millions of survivors who face harassment that piles onto the trauma every single day.

Y’all don’t give a fuck about making it easier for victims to move on and making it harder for abusers to get away with their shit.

This thread brought to you by: if actual real people who really know me in real life are actually really reading all my words and benefitting from the (extensive) work I do, why won’t they reach out to me and say, “Hey, you okay? Would you like my support? How can I support you?”
