me, talking about my trauma: this feels so great and freeing?? why don't I do it more often

Vivid flashbacks, hyperventilation, mental breakdown, dissociation, panic attacks, nightmares, skin memories: :)

About what?

[sometimestuesday-deactivated202]

“Being born a woman is an awful tragedy. Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars—to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording —all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night.”

feliz dia da mulher

sina

há catorze anos de sangue

escorrido entre minhas pernas

banhando o contorcer do meu ventre trincado

e a rachadura que me corta dos pés à cabeça

catorze anos de sangue

apodrecendo em minhas veias

dissolve minhas entranhas feito buraco negro

a fenda invisível que você me fez

há catorze anos de memórias enferrujadas

encrustadas feito chumbo embotado em meu peito

manchando minhas tentativas de respirar

catorze anos desintegrando feito poeira

estacionada no vácuo das suas lembranças

do estupro que me marcou a fogo feito gado

do peso do seu corpo sobre meus seios

da força dos socos que exauriram meu estômago

de sua mão no meu pescoço e sua podridão no meu útero

há catorze anos de sangue transbordando de meus poros

inundando meus olhos e ouvidos, minha boca

o gosto férreo da ausência do que você me tirou

um presente mórbido por existir como mulher

catorze anos que você se recusa a virar cicatriz

que seu rosto povoa outros rostos

que seu ódio contamina meus espelhos

que me vejo tão descartável quando fui pra você

há catorze anos de sangue escorrido entre minhas pernas

uma cartografia vermelha tatuada em minha pele

desenhando sobrevivências nada poéticas

um pesadelo eterno pra chamar de meu.

Looking at old anti-suffragette posters is weird because the people who made them did such a bad job that even the fictional women in their misogynistic propaganda were fucking awesome.

Men literally laughing at how they made wearing trousers illegal for women and the idea of women wearing trousers was such a huge threat to their masculinity that it became a symbol of the HORRORS of women wanting to be equal participants in society. 

And you thought men were being babies over over an ad for razor blades. Same shit, different century.

Viola Davis has never shied away from harsh truths. On Tuesday, Davis spoke to the Stuart House (a nonprofit for sexually abused children) about trauma in her own family.  Through her speech, she explained how abuse changes survivors’ lives and what she wishes she could say to her sister now: “I wish I could tell my sister …”
