The anniversary of my Dad's death from #covid cardiac arrest is coming up again in June. If anyone wants to support me & my family with our remembrance of my Dad & also help support us in long battle for justice from unmasked #SaanichPolice - please add me on your Signal - phoenixserenity.54

I'd like to compile a bunch of audio messages & any kind of artwork for this year's ceremony of beloved remembrance for my Dad. He died after getting infected by unmasked staff in local hospital. Unmasked cops, including the lead cop, Jason Whittaker - who is president of the SPD union abused us. I also want to compile something to let Saanich PD know - I am not fucking letting this go.

Please record:
Fuck you, Jason Whittaker & add whatever you want to rest of audio recording.

Please create Fuck You, Jason Whittaker or similar messages to #Saanich Police & tell them what you think of their antimasking egotistical loser of a 'leader' they chose to represent them.

Pandemics change people. We aren’t used to dealing with the mass death, disability & uncertainty that comes with them.

Unfortunately due to technology & misinformation, society is choosing NOT to process its collective trauma.

Most people are firmly in denial about COVID, and many are grasping on to conspiracy theories and harmful rhetoric in order to return to their 2019 version of “normal”.

That denial is changing us. Refusing to deal with trauma has consequences.

We’re becoming more detached, reckless and apathetic.

There’s still time to change. It starts with acknowledging that the threat has not passed and we all need to do our part to protect our health & the health of those around us.

We have to begin to adapt so that we can heal.

I read and reviewed Rip Tide by Elena Graf, book 11 of the Hobbit series

Thanks to the #MutualAid community on TikTok, my partner, our two cats, and I are able to leave the extended stay hotel we’ve been struggling to stay sheltered in, and now have an #RV to call home.
I’ve started a playlist with RV-based content as a positive turn-around to hopefully come back from this #depression and share our experiences:

As a #disabled #queer #artist who makes #AltRock music, art, and does other projects to earn a living, I’d sincerely appreciate any support; especially through streaming my music, getting merch or custom art from me, and supporting ( @magicalgrrrl ) my partner’s music and merch.
I currently have a children’s #storybook that I wrote and illustrated, on hold for (self)publication. It is a family-friendly book about my experiences with #homelessness stemming from childhood #abuse from the perspective of a cat.
I’m also slowly but surely working on an #autobiography about my experiences being #ActuallyAutistic with #CPTSD in hopes of reaching other people with similar stories. #Trauma and #HealingTrauma is also the main point of my music.
If you decide to check out the music, get some art, or some merch, thank you!!

Y aurait-il parmi voustes des retours sur le somatic experiencing pour lutter contre les traumas ?
J'envisage d'aller voir une praticienne qui a l'air expérimentée mais malgré les témoignages sur le site de l'association francophone, je m'interroge encore.
Je trouve intéressante l'idée de ne pas avoir à ressasser l'origine du traumatisme.

Memories are such a strange and delicate thing. Especially the ones carefully hidden by our brains in order to protect ourselves.

I process emotions by talking or writing about them.
I have “presentable” trauma, which i can talk quiet openly or even joke about, that is known by friends.
Being open about some of what happened feels good and has made dealing with what happened and the resulting feelings easier. But it is also a neon sign that screams “fragile, handle with care”, that has lured in both predators and other survivors.

It has made me feel less alone and is one of the reasons i even began my diagnostic journey. But it has also led to a lot of pain and rather dangerous people in my life.

But I have also realised that i use this openness as a shield.
People who cannot even deal with this “presentable” trauma, shall not become ‘safe people’. the ugly, hidden, barely talked about trauma is not for the faint hearted.

Recently though, my desire to talk about these dark corners of my mind has increased.
And I don’t understand why.

A voice in my head that sounds way too much like my mum, accuses me of being an insufferable attention seeker.

I’m so torn between opening up and writing/talking about some of it and letting those memories be shadows of my past.
Online ‘anonymity’ just increases the urge to go into more detail, to lay bare parts of me that I usually, carefully hide.

Have any of you had similar feelings? What was your decision and did you regret it? Feel free to go into more details in the comments!
