I’m here for a reason, and that reason is to help thousands of women and girls realise that they are not disordered, mentally ill, damaged or problems. Their trauma has been ignored. Their abuse has been denied. Their suffering has been minimised. Being traumatised by what other people did to them is NOT A MENTAL ILLNESS. Trauma is natural. Normal. Expected. Rational. My discipline, and those around me, have colluded with and protected abusers, rapists and perpetrators for centuries - and we have a responsibility to challenge and change this shit up.

I'm sobbing so bad

A history of femicide of elite female athletes in Kenya. • Agnes Tirop-stabbed/clobbered to death 2021 •Edna Muthoni-Throat slit by machete 2021 • Damaris Muthee Mutua- Strangled 2022 • Rebecca Cheptegei- Torched Sep 2024. All by their male partners. None have been jailed.

Multiple female athletes who competed in the Paris Olympics have been killed by male partners in the mere weeks since it ended. Femicide is a crisis. Woman hating is one of the most pressing crises in the world.

Had my first experience of an anti-masker having a go at me and my partner, on the train today. Was a bit shaken afterwards, but I remain proud that when he said "Ignorance is bliss", I replied "Well I'm glad you're happy." 🤨

@woofknight If I remember Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's favorite snack, it looked just like this.

Malignant narcissists are aware when their behavior is abusive or could lead to consequences. Instead of stopping, they focus on protecting themselves from exposure or punishment. This self-preservation strategy involves planning ahead by controlling the narrative, gaslighting their victims, shifting blame, and discrediting others. They will often project their own wrongdoing onto their victim, vilifying them or even making false accusations to law enforcement as a premeditated defense mechanism against exposure of their own abuse. Their goal is to avoid accountability while continuing their harmful actions, manipulating situations to maintain power and control.

When a German shrapnel hit Wanda Przybylska, 14, on 4 September 1944, it ended a life better lived than many long ones. Wanda had helped her parents shelter two Jewish women in German-occupied Warsaw, served as a medic in the #WarsawUprising, and authored a moving wartime diary.

At a tram stop in Prague, an odd guy began to harass a pregnant woman, seemingly on the verge of attacking her. However, a hero intervened and managed to “de-escalate” the situation.
