How to normalize white supremacy.

It's good to be back on Tumblr. Hi all.

Sometimes the people you love the most, hurt you the most. I learned the hard way that you cannot stop someone from destroying themselves but you can stop them from destroying you. Walk away. You can support someone, just remember your emotional and mental well being should not be the price you pay for that support.

Reading about abusive men and the way they think. Very unsettling and an incredible book so far. Here are my very professional notes.

[imnotreallyherecheckagainlater]

what book is this?

[tehbewilderness]

This is from “Why Does He DO That” by Lundy Bancroft.

[chemicalheart-deactivated202009]

I’m so glad I’m seeing more and more Lundy Bancroft quotes on my dash because this book CHANGES THE LIVES OF ABUSE VICTIMS. The programs run for rehabilitating abusive men through the courts? Bancroft DESIGNED THEM. His programs are replicated ALL OVER THE WORLD. He literally wrote THE book on abuser rehabilitation.

Here’s a link to a pdf copy. If you haven’t read this book yet, read this book.

Can we talk about how it seems like the entirety of the book is online on PDF, this making it accessible to anyone with an internet connection?

That is how we stop abuse.

We enable everyone to know what it looks like, so that when it happens, they can shut it down.

I need this book. Now.

A racist society will give you a racist science.

remember when i posted about how science can be oppressive and i got hate mail and hundreds of notes of people calling me stupid

yeah that was fun

Remember that time when they made up a disease for black ppl when we didnt wanna be stuck as slaves?

Remember when they operated on black women with no anesthesia to get modern gynecological surgical procedures?

Remember when they sterilized poor woc without consent to keep us from ‘creating more undesirables’?

Remember when the government allowed Black men to go untreated with Syphilis even after a cure was discovered?

Remember when minority heavy areas in cities were sprayed with radioactive material to ‘test’ how America could handle a nuclear fallout?

Oh, you dont? Because I do…

Go look it up. Every single one was done by a white supremacist nation called America.

FOR SCIENCE!

Stop reducing the Hijab to a headscarf. Snap out of that Western-centric frame of thinking.

Schizophrenia: patients usually have less brain tissue

Major Depression: scans show less brain activity in depressed brain

Alzheimer’s: brain tissue significantly shrinks, hippocampus is usually the first region to go

ADHD: less brain activity in the frontal cortex (area associated with decision making) 

OCD: high brain activity 

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): hippocampal volume reduction (area involved in memory) and increased activation of the amygdala (area involved in emotional responses) 

[marvellousmoments-deactivated20]

This is so important! I usually don’t reblog posts but people need to understand that mental illnesses are NO CHOICE! You cannot get over it, or snap with your fingers and just be okay again. It takes constant fixing and a lot of strength to get out of this. So to everyone who judges people with mental disorders: people don’t get a choice to develop a disorder or not, but being stupid and telling them to get over it is a choice. PLEASE DONT JUDGE THINGS UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND!

He said, He believed in love, More than he believed That the sky was blue. Said the feelings in his heart, Were truer than the world And all of its hues, I said darling, Do you know how long, I’ve been waiting for you?

remember "Hey there Delilah"? listen to my voice its my disguise, i'm by your side. Long distance relationships anthem but super super sweet.

Long distance relationships are the epitome of romance. Imagine loving someone enough to stay faithful and committed? How intense their conversations must be? How strong their emotional bond? ❤️
