This Has Become Really Important In My Life Lately. I've Basically Combined Bullet Journaling, Doodling,

shoutout to people who cant/wont turn in their abusers because

they dont have proof of abuse

abusers were upstanding members of society

their abuse was legal

no one believes them

their abusers are old, dead, disabled, ill, or on their deathbed

their abusers are family members

they cant remember details of abuse

they didnt uncover abuse until later in life

they were abused by organizations

they dont know the names of thier abusers

theyve been threatened into staying quiet

they arent mentally stable enough to endure the investigation

and whatever other reason. people dont have to turn in their abusers for their abuse to be legitimate. so many of us cant prove what happened to us and are only left with the disorders that came with the horror we dealt with growing up.

it makes me sad that im seeing so many trauma survivors feel that they have to justify not taking abusers to court. some of us cant, some of us shouldnt, and some of us wont. please respect all survivors regardless of how they approach legal justice over abuse.

Click here to support Schizophrenia Research Funding by Jonathan Emerson

My name is Jonathan and I am a PhD student at Teesside University, living with paranoid schizophrenia and working multiple jobs to self-fund my study. My Project: This PhD aims to break new ground on a number of fronts, in particular, developing a new model for therapeutic care in schizophrenia...

So for those who don’t know, I’m planning on self-funding my PhD into Schizophrenia, looking to develop a new model for a therapeutic care technique to be implemented within schizophrenia support. I will be incredibly grateful to anyone who considers donating anything, anything at all towards this research and the struggle that will be the next few years of my life.

Irish politician Aodhán Ó Ríordáin (TD, Labour Party Senator) calls out the Irish government on their reaction to election of Donald Trump.

“TRUMP IS A FASCIST AND I’M EMBARRASSED BY THE GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSE.”

It’s been an emotional week. I wanted to share this encounter I had with a very hateful man on the Pittsburgh bus because it reminds me that there are brave people in this world. Let’s all do everything we can to stand up for each other.
