I too used to be an 'oh, NOW you care' person when I was younger. I was profoundly annoyed with ppl who didn't "understand" what I already knew & then all of a sudden started caring. Then I realized that was a ME issue, not at all about them. EYE was annoyed while THEY were coming to consciousness.

Here's a simple script you can use if you need one: "I'm calling to tell the representative that I support Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's articles of impeachment against Justices Thomas and Alito, and I am encouraging him to support them as well." That's all you need!

It's wack. They have the perfect, sharp, smart, experienced, super practiced, democratic party American politician who loves incarceration & overpolicing just as much as the rest of the democrats do. The sole reason they don't want her is because she's a Black woman. They're contorting themselves.

Iāll go so far as to say that modern plenary #adoption, which was invented a century ago, could only have been invented and embraced in a settler-colonial society like that of the USA.

āIt does not matter what the origin of an #adoption is. ā¦ Regardless of the adoption situation, it is hypocritical not to tell the truth. It is a lack of respect of children's full humanity and their right to their identity.ā

It took me a long time to realize why I had such a transactional view of relationships and then my therapist was like do you think maybe it's because your first and most formative relationship was literally treated like a transaction? And that unlocked a lot for me.

Adoptees talk, rightly, about separation trauma. But I always want to add that the FACT of #adoption āthe knowledge that you have been cast out, and that you are entitled to NO answersāis quite enough to work deep and corrosive effects on the psyche.

Fifty cents. That's what it would cost for the electricity to fully charge the battery over 8 hours. This man is forced to sit in his own filth, gets chased away from multiple public buildings, and gets the cops called on him, over some small portion of fifty cents.

I learned that she didnāt want to be anonymous. But it was never up to her.
The tragedy of #adoption is that it structurally embodies banishment and rejection of the deepest kind. It says that you are neither entitled to belong to, nor even to *know,* the family you were born into.

It has been nine hours since my reply above. Work suspended me from continuing. But anyway. Continuing as if I had not been interrupted. In my country, every honest legal expert agrees that information about oneself is a human right above another personās privacy, especially in the case of adoptees.
