As a trauma survivor, I look at this like my traumas: I will never recover, but I'm trying to be never the same in a way that helps others. It's the only way I can think to make meaning of it all.

I don't know how we are supposed to recover as humans from this. I'm still stuck hearing Hind's voice, half a little girl on a wall, babies decaying in incubators, children w/ half their heads missing. How do we as humans recover from this shame of letting this happen?

@misingnoglic @clapifyoulikeme @tashakaminsky The trick is that in many states, like mine (Texas), if you strike as a teacher you can permanently lose your teacher certification. So we would have to have a critical mass of us striking in a given state, with the community supporting us, to not pay the penalty.

@girlziplocked All of us teachers keep shaking our heads. Dress codes (which I think are BS) can't even work, so what makes admins think that much more invasive rules will be followed?!? These are kids (even the teens I teach), plus even adults can't seem to do what's right during COVID.

@fortesalatifi This was my exact experience. Since I was a little girl, I thought I was inherently bad. Really internalized it. Other trauma along the way had reinforced that feeling. Then my diagnosis/therapy helped me understand that what happened to me wasn't because of who I am as a person.

@helmsinki If anyone suggests The Satanic Temple as an option, here's a thread of receipts as to why they are a terrible idea in context of reproductive justice (from Satanists, so it's not about religion):
A lot of desperate, anguished people will look at what Supreme Court is about to do on abortion and they will want to think there is a magic, clever solution to it The Satanic Temple cannot help you get an abortion and it does not deserve your support.
