child trafficking survivor with DID, working towards integration; collectively we go by Rue; I ask that minors do not follow

[spunsugarphantom]

Anyone 18+ can follow me, I ask minors not to bc I don't filter what I reblog/post.

About this blog:

🔹This blog is focused on CSA, organized abuse, dissociative disorders, etc, but I might reblog random things at times

🔹We might post poetry, art, or writing sometimes

🔹By nature the content on this blog could be triggering to some people, but if I were to post something that's very likely to be triggering i would try to include warnings in the tags and at the top of the post

🔹Reblogs are fine

🔹If you say you have a dissociative disorder I believe you; these disorders are about amnesia and denial and I'm not the police

🔹If you're bothered by something I say the block button is free, protect your peace

One of the best letters I’ve ever seen just popped up on my Facebook memories. Still makes me laugh.

[pointless-letters]

As today is the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, it’s a great time to revisit Dinah from Devon’s memory of this historic event. And yes, still makes me laugh.

[pointless-letters]

Today is the 54th anniversary of the moon landing, but Dinah’s diary entry is still absolutely magnificent.

[pointless-letters]

57th anniversary of the moon landing and the best diary entry in the history of diary entries. Sit down Samuel Pepys, it’s over. UGH.

DID is forcing me to reckon with the difference between knowing what happened and remembering it

[patricia-taxxon]

My traumatic memories are factoids, I got them from somewhere else, someone told me, I know it happened like I know what happens in a movie that I ingested through cultural osmosis without seeing it myself. Sometimes almost all my memories, relationships, interests and hobbies become factoids and the trauma becomes a memory again. I think this is a switch.

"grackle" really is a perfect name for a bird. knocked it out of the park w/ that one

[spunsugarphantom]

If I'm going to be a dog with black fur in the rain, I wish I could know another, who is beside me, or behind me, turned away, it's all the same.

It would kill half the 19-25 year olds online to realize "I can't help it I have trauma" is one of THE quintessential abuser excuses

[queeranarchism]

If you're a leftist who finds inspiration in the stories of the anarchist and communist revolutions, you also need to find wisdom in its excesses, it's cruelty and it's vulnerability to corruption. If you find pride in the history of the resistance movements against nazism, you also need to find introspection in the fact that many resistance members ended up raping the wives and abusing the youngest children of nazis the moment the power was reversed.

I don't trust people who only explore the pretty parts of leftist history. It doesn't lead to a realistic understanding of our past movements and it doesn't make us prepared to see the flawed, vulnerable and ugly in our current movements. Will you recognize and confront the rapist in your local group? How can you, if you won't even recognize and confront him across 80 years of distance?

[standwithdaanes]

Criticism should be an act of mutual respect, love, and genuine belief. If you want socialism / anarchism / leftism to improve and become stronger, you must critically engage with it in full.

[dajo42]

need a polite way to say "im not engaging in a discussion on this topic with you because the conclusions you have reached are based on so many interwoven layers of misconceptions it would be easier to just like, hard reset your whole brain, just start over as a baby and try again"

weighted blanket's not enough i need to be compressed by a hydraulic press

[unification]

*torturing you* dude trust me, something really cool happens. you just have to reflect on it for a bit. i'm doing this because i want you to reach your full potential okay?

guy with dissociative amnesia voice: yeah i just don't think i have any sort of amnesia with the dissociation. i would remember if i was forgetting something

the version of you from five years ago would be genuinely amazed by what you’ve handled since then. sit with that for a second

the problem with employment is it gives you money to purchase video games but it takes away your time to play video games. Mao spoke of this

[anti-willo-miku]

I think identity disturbance beyond the presence of alters should be talked about more in CDD spaces. Even between individual alters, we often struggle to tell who I am at each time. It’s never a clear cut “X alter likes Y and behaves like Z”.

[wysecollection]

Cause people act like it's soooo easy to figure out who's fronting- "just ask yourself questions!" Yeah so alters are also multifaceted and also having a dissociative disorder means you're gonna kinda be a fog of whatever the fuck sometimes. There will be times I think I know who I am and all of a sudden feel a way I've never felt before. Is it passive influence? Is it just me having a bad day? Who fucking knows. And in any case it absolutely sucks to not know who you are or what you are or what you like because of identity disturbance.
