Adolescents exposed to any maternal physical intimate partner violence during childhood were more likely to perpetrate in their own relationships. Furthermore, adolescents whose mothers had unstable romantic relationships had a higher number of romantic partnerships themselves.

@ScriptFanix @actuallyautistic "Weird" was a pejorative from my father in my childhood. I've reclaimed it as positive with the help of my daughter in hers. #generationaltrauma

Life is too precious to spend it around others who are steered by jealousy & insecurity.

Its horrible to be in the energy of someone who does not wish the best for you & is there purely out of obligation rather than wanting to be, so why put yourself through that pain?

Surround yourself by those that genuinely love & support you & just watch what you can achieve.
Love passionately because a life without love is pointless.

As I prepare to mark my 39th year of sobriety tomorrow, I just want to shout out to the beer store that was literally IN MY DORM.

In. My. Dorm.

Different times indeed.

Epic rant tomorrow, or maybe just honest reflection.

I wrote about the opening chapter to Erika T. Wurth's WHITE HORSE and how it pulls together the mundane and the creepy to both situate & get the story moving--and also do weirder things like evoke the uncanny & make brain explosions.

One of last year's publications, in the journal #Moria. I'm always so grateful to have an outlet for my work. I can't seem to write much these days, to the extent that I wonder if I'm even a poet any more.

What with Canada's #MAID and Massachusetts potentially coercing prisoners to donate organs, the future is looking more and more like #RepoTheGeneticOpera, a dystopia full of disease, addiction, #GenerationalTrauma and superficial #beauty.

If I'm going to live in that world, can I at least have the fabulous #goth outfits to go with it?

I have a message for Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who doesn't want #white people to feel bad but is A-OK with keeping #Black people in misery: Go to Hell. Go directly to Hell. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200.

@MarthaCrimson An important thread on Swedish 19th-century famine which will be instantly relatable to Irish folks in general and the Mastodaoine here in particular.
#Famine #GenerationalTrauma #Sweden #Ireland #AnGortaMór #Mastodaoine

I suspect the 1860s famine has had an impact on a lot of Swedish food attitudes; how we eat, how we view vegetables, and how we cook. But the eery thing is that we can't reflect on it. It's not taught in school, is rarely talked about, and I only know due to my grain hoarding relative. I sometimes tell the story online, so those who died won't just vanish in thin air, erased for a second time.

My father used to tell the story about my relative with a bit of a smirk. To him it was a story of futile work ending in a welp. At the same time he's the one who never ever can pass a Special Offer in a store. Megapacks of anything is his bane. I didn't think I was affected, until Mother Earth New ran an article about birch bark "bacon" and I screamed "NO! Not eating that!!!" at the magazine fold.

My relative, however, obviously survived. Who can blame him for saving grains for two consecutive famine years plus one? He kept at it until 1914. That's when world war one broke out. Sweden wasn't involved, but had an active military (just in case, I suspect). So the authorities confiscated my relative's grains as food for the troups.

The birch is a common tree in Sweden, and you can find it even in the northernmost parts. Unfortunately that doesn't mean there are a lot everywhere. At some places there wasn't enough and local officials sent pleas to Stockholm. Could people perhaps exchange bark for pine or fir springtips? The answer was a stiff no. It's birch bark or nothing.

During famines Swedes have turned to birch bark for meager eating. It's not a straightforward harvest; you have to pick the (right) inner layer and process it heavily to get a kind a flour you can use for bread. Authorities in the south decided that anyone who wanted grain would have to pick an equal amount of birch bark to recieve it.

But what really made it worse was the attitude of the authorites. First the officials up north were reluctant to report a famine had broken out. They didn't want to look like they Couldn't Handle Things. Then, when the news eventually broke, officials in the south put restrictions on who could recieve help. God forbid someone leeched!
