we are aphantastic and very slow readers, usually reading a bunch of books in parallel. we mostly read about anarchism, bread, neurodiversity, sci-fi, and cosy fantasy. our pronouns are it / they (plural). (Avatar: reading fox emoji, from Volpeon's Neofox emoji set)

it's a bit weird (and sometimes difficult, but maybe it will get easier) to read a book in German. had this book on the reading list since the author is on fedi (and also part of a plural system).
just finished the Prolog, and it looks really nice 😌

Content warning mention of trauma; emotional abuse and shaming about "unhealth" copying mechansim
Preventing re-traumatization is a worthy goal in itself and at times is the best one can do given one’s circumstances. There is no shame in prudently waiting to explore traumatic memories until one judges that it is safe to do so—it is a necessary part of the healing process. In the words of trauma therapist Judith Herman: “This task [of establishing safety] takes precedence over all others, for no other therapeutic work can possibly succeed if safety has not been adequately secured. No other therapeutic work should even be attempted until a reasonable degree of safety has been achieved.”
— Mutual Aid, Trauma, and Resiliency by Jane Addams Collective (37%)
In a time where we went thru traumatic events, an abuser often shamed us for "unhealthy" copying mechanisms, like avoidance of triggering places. We were not yet ready to cope with the trauma, until we were at a safer place 💜
