ultimately the best way to prevent abuse is to organize society in such a way that everyone's needs are met wothout having to rely on a parent or employer or boyfriend or any one individual. obviously wont stop, like, manipulation or so on, but the ability to dangle basic needs over someone's head is one of the most powerful and consistant tools of abuse out there. if someone is able to just leave, and know that they will have access to food and shelter and clean water and education, that will enable so, so mamy victims of abuse to do just that.

just learnt the word sobremesa — the time after a meal when the plates are empty but the conversation is still spilling across the table. i think about how many of our lives are made of this: not the feast itself but the after, the lingering, the not-yet-leaving.

I think it’s pretty cool how everything sucks major shit these days
