hurt people hurt people is hard to remember when you're the people being hurt by the hurt people

Translation:
it's hard to remember that someone you love is hurting you because of their own hurt and not because you're a shit person who deserves it

Translation:
humans are clumsy and sometimes your mental illness stuff crashes against my mental illness stuff in spiky and painful ways

Translation:
shit is hard

Finishing up The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma this week. I started this in July and set it down when we got back home from the cabin. I think it's time I get back to it.

Today I discovered that not only is July #Disability Pride Month but also that we have a flag. It is so well done and extremely meaningful. It was created by Ann Magill, a disabled writer.

The entire thing will not fit into the thumbnail but if you open the image, it will tell you what each color and flag feature stands for. It is also in the alt text if you are unable to open it.

An infographic showing the Disability Pride Month flag and what it stands for. The top reads "Disability Pride Month" and the flag is underneath it. The Disability pride flag is grey with five diagonal stripes from top to bottom with red, yellow, white, blue, and green.

Underneath it, it says what the colors stand for.
Red: bodily disability, mobility impairment, limb difference, disfigurement, chronic pain/fatigue, etc.

Yellow: Neurodiversity, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, etc

White: invisible disabilities and those with no known diagnosis.

Blue: emotional and psychiatric disabilities, (depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc.)

Green: sensory disabilities, (including sensory processing disorders)

Grey: Mourning for those killed, neglected, and abused because of their disability.

The five-stripe bend dexter: The disability community in solidarity-- moving from the Canton (a place of honor) to the Fly (the wider world, broader society). The diagonal is also in contrast to the vertical walls and horizontal ceilings that keep us isolated.

Mother Suspiria :autism:

It's that time of year. Because nothing makes more sense at the height of summer than to send explosives & bullets into the sky, where they must eventually fall down. Can you tell I hate it? Because I hate it. It already sounds like a war zone where I am. Hope you stay safe, cool, and are somewhere quiet.

Scene from Tropic Thunder. A man holds another man's wrists that end in tangled bits of flesh because his hands have blown off.

Rick Osborne reviewed From Fan to Forever by Tiana Warner

Tiana Warner: From Fan to Forever (Paperback, 2022, Ylva Publishing)

An age-gap lesbian celebrity romance about how much you’d risk to have your dream. Talented …

A good romance arc, but the Hollywood stuff was not for me

4 stars

3¾⭐️/5

I know, I know, the Hollywood stuff was the entire point of the book. But I don’t connect with the “actors and their families give up their right to privacy” narrative, so it was a bit much for me.
