i think there is value in talking about warning signs of abuse but at the same time people on here make way, way too broad statements about what is abuse without explanation or qualification. like abuse isn’t going to look the same in every situation and things like being jealous or sad or wanting attention or validation isn’t necessarily abusive and i see that stuff on this kind of list all the time with no qualifications, with no “these things can be used by abusers” it’s just “if someone does this it’s abusive”? or things like “if someone cries when you tell them they did something wrong that’s abusive and manipulative” like?? being sensitive doesn’t make someone abusive and you can’t just say that’s Always an abusive thing because someone can be upset and still change when you tell them they messed up?? simplifying abuse to a neat tidy list of behaviors doesn’t help abuse victims and misses the complexity of actual abuse.
And a lot of times really broad lists have things that could equally apply to how someone abused behaves.
This is what trolls do to silence people. The photo on the left is FAKE. Thank GamerGate. I am specifically tagging this so I can see any GGers who reblog, so I can block their pathetic asses. Definitely showing this to the attorneys at the office. We carry the largest pro bono loads in this state. I have nothing to lose. He is not a Muslim either. He is a Sikh.
The fake is in newspapers and online, going viral across the world. PLEASE know it is fake. Viral the REAL photo.
Carrying a heavy backpack may make you shrink
The pain starts in middle school. A 2010 study in the National Center for Biotechnology Information, which studied a small test group of children around the age of 11, found that the constant weight of the bag was actually causing spinal cords to compress and cause significant back pain. Those bags were on the lighter side of the average: only 26 pounds. It gets a lot worse with the average bag weight.
So funny story, when I was about 22 (I’m 26 now) I worked at a gym and we did this promotion thing that involved a local chiropractor doing the little spine scan you see above for free to whoever wanted one. So I was like well, fuck might as well.
Anyway, turns out my spine is pretty messed up and I lean a little to one side like the picture. Guess which side? To the right. Why? Because that’s the shoulder I carried my 20-30lbs backpack on for the 7 years of middle and high school.
The chiropractor just looked at me and gave me this knowing, slightly frustrated look and said something like, “Yeah, we’re starting to see this a lot in people your age.”
No one believed me but it’s real!!!
How many altos does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None, they can’t get that high.How many sopranos does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
One, she holds it up and waits for the world to revolve around her.
How many singers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Two. An alto to actually do it and a soprano to stand by and ask “isn’t that a little high for you?”
