"We often think of oppression in terms of tyrants, but it most often comes from the institutions, philosophies, and people closest to us. Most oppression is near and dear. Next time your spouse or partner abusively criticizes you, or says you are worthless, not good enough, stupid, or inadequate — tell them that if it … Continue reading We Often Think Of Oppression In Terms Of Tyrants

Last week I was struggling pretty hard and opened up to a friend.

I'm a pretty dark person. I have a wicked sense of humor and I'll say anything goofy to make someone laugh, but when it's my life, there isn't a lot I perceive as humorous.
