If you must compare your trauma to others, remember that the control group is not other traumatized people. It's non-traumatized people.
What I mean by this is yeah you can make almost any trauma look "not that bad" when you hold it up next to something even more disturbing.
The baseline norm amount for trauma and abuse is negligible to none. If the most unscathed and well-adjusted person you know had to experience your trauma, or even witnessed it, would they be fine with that? Or? Would they maybe be horrified?
The norm average person is upset by someone making one unkind remark or raising their voice. So if those things are just a routine experience for you then yeah I really do think it's that bad. You don't have to go through the worst possible scenario to be traumatized or hurt or angry about it.
I cannot recommend bringing your heritage and culture into how you view media enough.
It is important to consider the culture of the person who created the piece, absolutely; but the different perspectives offered by the viewers is fascinating in and of itself and does not always detract from the message.
As an example, when I was younger, I watched Schindler's List. This movie is famously shot in black and white except for one section, concerning a little girl in a red coat. The camera follows her until her eventual death.
I am Turtle Island Indigenous and I was always taught that the only color spirits could see was red, because it is the color of life and blood.
So the second the girl in the red jacket came on screen, something inside me chilled with fear.
The only color in the movie was that red. At some point, I, the viewer, had died.
I remember sobbing at the sight of the burning human piles that were shown, convinced I was buried in there somewhere. The reason I had only seen red on the girl was that my death was recent. I was the ash in the air mistaken for snow. I had died before her and had followed her, helplessly, until she followed me.
The message I got for that was maybe not what the creator had intended: that there was no "being clever enough" or "good enough" or "kind enough" that would shield or protect you from such a massive tidal wave of evil.
You are not exempt from tragedy, that red jacket whispered. You are not special.
When I told some of my white friends about my experience with viewing Schindler's List, some were shocked and the rest just out-and-out mocked me for my "media illiteracy".
"it was just a filming trick to make you feel something," I remember one saying, which terrified me. How had he not felt anything even before she showed up?
However, when I repeated my viewing to a college class, they were fascinated. The implications of what I had seen and felt made the film all the more terrifying and solemn. It encouraged a lot of people to try to ask themselves what media meant from a cultural perspective, where they hadn't done that before.
in more pleasant news: this year is seeing the biggest humpback migration in Australian history, bigger than it was PRE whaling. That's right, there are more humpbacks migrating off the coast of Australia than there were BEFORE industrial whaling started.
A huge, fat W for environmentalists and Greenies. what an achievement
we did it! we saved the fucking whales!!!!
Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is
Further info for those interested
Environmental activism works!!! If they tell you its hopeless they're lying and/or selling some shit!!!
Insane how supernatural is 15 seasons long and everything is under explored. What were they doing for 15 years?
Lots of correct opinions in the notes.

okay but imagine how inconvenient the streets of Central City, Amestris, is. Like yeah yeah country wide alchemy circle aside- can you IMAGINE the traffic? Like for the Love of Truth can we add another lane on this road?? The cars are backed up for miles! The urban planning board must be the sorriest people in the world. They got no clue what an alchemist circle looks like BUT the Fuhrer keeps showing up for an ominous visit every time they try to get a modicum of reasonable city layout. The zoning laws have got to be pure evil.
how many accidents do you think there are on the Central Command Roundabout in an average day
The crest of blood in the center was carved over the course of multiple years via traffic fatalities
At that point who even needs a genocide.
One thing I love about phm is that despite yk forcing Grace up into the stratosphere against his will, they still did care about the guy. They packed his shit with more care than my mom would back me a suitcase. They sent him with his funny t-shirts, drawings from his kids, multiple medals of honor (gold wings and civilian medal), and a Saint Christopher Medallion (patron saint of travelers/long journeys)
And before anyone tries I REFUSE to believe they only did that to keep up the appearance that Grace did it out of his own free will. They (Eva Stratt) were dealing with the biggest trolley problem of their life and Grace was the one on the track vs the world. They pulled that lever sure, but they still cared about Grace
“I’m afraid of getting cancer from the cadmium in my painting supplies” I’m not 😌 I love you cadmium yellow. I love you vermillion red. I love you uranium orange, haven’t worked with you but I love you nevertheless. Most of all I love you arsenic green.
This dress could kill you but I completely understand why people in the late 19th century were willing to take that risk.
Here is uranium orange fiestaware, proving that beauty truly is pain.
just found out about London purple 🤤
I was wondering what was involved with London purple so as to merit its inclusion alongside such stars as arsenic green and uranium orange, and --
Ah, cool, gotcha
Do you like the color of the poison?
You know what was used as yellow dye for almost thirty years between its discovery and its current use?
TNT.

one of the most powerful abilities you can gain as a person who struggles with emotional regulation or hypersensitivity or whatever is when you get to the stage of Healing where someone tries you make you Responsible for Managing their Big Feelings and you realize that you're able to just be like... oh, no, I will not be doing that. we got emotional fragility at home.
