Who Are You Calling a Liar? Parkland Shooting Edition
Probably the most pervasive problem that trauma survivors deal with is not being believed on account of not sounding, looking, acting or thinking how people think a victim should in the aftermath of the trauma. If we smile or laugh, we’re lying because we should be grief stricken. If we cry hysterically, we’re acting because we’re over the top. If we stumble over our words, … Continue reading Who Are You Calling a Liar? Parkland Shooting Edition
This Is Today’s Test
I really hate that we’re even having this conversation because it’s so damn stupid, but no one is disrespecting the flag. That’s just a bald faced lie. Kneeling is not a gesture of disrespect. It’s a prayerful, reverent position. If Kapernick had said he was kneeling as an act of patriotic fervor, no one except the Jehovah’s witnesses and the Mennonites would have objected.

It’s just the same conversations over and over again. As is … Continue reading A Bunch of Noah’s in Nashville

The sociopaths I have had the misfortune to know all watch people very closely, gauging their reactions & plotting their next move. They very quickly figure out how to present themselves in order to gain whatever advantage they happen to be seeking with each person they engage with. They will decide that one person will adore them and another will be appalled or frightened or awed and … Continue reading Spotting a Sociopath in the Wild
Let’s Be Real, My White Peeps . . .
I read a Facebook post this morning from a woman who has adoptive children from Africa. In it she shared the sort of evil, hateful messages she received about her family. Telling her that her small black son will rape her white daughter is the least offensive example she gave. Because my mixed race family is not as high profile as hers, I have not witnessed … Continue reading Let’s Be Real, My White Peeps . . .
