I'm on @delta delta chat now! I want to host a group for abuse survivors and those who question whether they were or are experiencing or witnessing abuse or coercive control or undue influence or someone is using power over them and retaliating against them when they don't "behave".
I myself survived childhood sexual abuse, incest, abuse by a cult, my therapist, psychiatry nurses, sibling, friends, queerplatonic partner/girlfriend, roommate and harrassment from a nazi neighbor plus landlords. I kinda got a bad start to life (in germany) and then people tended to make it worse instead of helping me or they took advantage of me.
So I learned a lot about what does and doesn't help!
And I want to help you out, whether you went through something you fear no one will believe or be able to stomach hearing about, or you think it was probably nothing and you overreact. You don't overreact! Nothing is too small to be worth talking about.
I'm making a space to have a warm, supportive, good vibes atmosphere that we co-create together. We'll help each other grow and see through confusions and distortions of the truth and gain more agency, to make choices, decisions and do stuff and have an impact on the world.
We'll also have fun and laugh and cry and eat cookies and discover what it's like to argue with someone who doesn't slice you to ribbons emotionally.
Anyone is welcome regardless of age, gender, ability, neurotype, location or background. I just ask that you help make the group a good space, be that by complaining when everyone else is too polite to say anything or by listening or by sharing. Please don't worry that by joining you'll take up too much space or take resources away from someone who might need them more — you ARE our space and our resources!
The first step is, once we have at least a handful of people, to decide when and how often to meet.
I use @delta delta chat for its privacy and because it works with spotty internet and very little tech knowledge. It works on desktop and mobile. You can download the app from google's or apple's appstore or FDroid or their website delta.chat (watch me not get the preview to work)
It was super easy to make an account and didn't require anything other than a username - no phone number or email address (or password).
DM me for an invite, which is a link that you click to join the group. The group is invite only to keep out bots and abusers.
Please boost and share this post, including on other sites or however it works for you, or by talking about it and linking here.

Australian Christian Lobby says any new laws protecting people from cults could be ‘very dangerous’
Lobby groups tell Victorian inquiry legitimate churches could be caught up in any proposed crackdown on coercive practices
Yeah dammit, might keep people from joining the ACL.

"This is what Trump does: he forces everyone around him to choose between truth and access, between principle and convenience, between friendship and tribal loyalty. My friend chose access over truth, convenience over principle, tribal loyalty over friendship."

"That’s his right, but it’s also a choice that reveals character in ways that make continued relationship impossible.
You can’t maintain genuine friendship with people who require you to share their delusions as the price of their company, who demand that you pretend not to see what you’re seeing, who treat clear-eyed assessment of obvious character flaws as psychological pathology."

I guarantee you there will be a sizable portion of the population that will not belive the official story when Trump dies – even up to not believing that he's even dead.
This cult will worship their divine great leader forever.
"When The Rocky Horror Picture Show premiered in 1975, no one could have dreamed that it would become the longest-running theatrical release film in history. But that's what happened."
Such fun!

I've been listening to a good #RNZ #podcast, The Lodge. It's about a wellness #cult and the members and the victims. It's presented by an investigative journalist, Phil Vine.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/podcast/the-lodge#RSS is here but I found it in my podcast player of choice's catalogue.
Worth listening to if that's your sort of thing. I think it's still ongoing (I'm a couple of episodes behind)

Good God. Destroying the Constitution and the rule of law with the compliance of denuded legislatures and courts is not a "winning streak." It is fascism. #BrokenTimes.
Sir #TrumpVirus called it (exact quote),
"The single most popular bill ever signed"
Even given his #BrainSpurs & long history of #doublespeak and flat-out lies,
this seems like a wee bit of.... BS!
Having our healthcare, education, environment, rights, consumer protections, aid to the elderly, ill, and childcare/nutrition ripped away, is "popular"?
He's so smart. More like #evil.
With a #cult of #GQP sychophants who have given the Devil his due, and We the People, nothing.
If God fearing Christians actually feared God they wouldn’t be part of the Trump cult.
