one thing i love about tumblr is the queue. i have it so five reblogs a day will go up cone rain or shine.

but the queue has a max size of 1_000, so that could mean 200 days between me seeing a post and reblogging it. 200 days. even at ~30 days ive forgotten most of the posts and theyre fresh to me when i see them on my dash.

200 days. thats a pretty long time.

posts ive made have been dead for months and then suddenly someones queue came around and theres a new spark

whenever i see current political posts i fast reblog and queue. sure pretty much no one sees my posts but i see them! i get to be reminded of important events the collective consciousness stops talking about them!

if im ever too ill for screens my blog remains the same.

its my memories that i chose to share with my future self. its something there even when im not. its a reminder its nothing its jokes its memes

yknow what? its comforting

Who up reading Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker this fine Easter Sunday

[sincerelykent]

I’m in this place, a place I once was in, and I didn’t like it. This place was a place that kept me heavy and burdened down. I let go, then I allowed myself to end right back up in that place.

Many times, I've cried and poured my heart before God. At one point, I found myself caught in the grip of an addiction to pornography and masturbation. In March 2023, after 20+ years of dealing with this struggle I decided to put an end to my destructive behavior, driven by a desire to protect myself and my relationship with God. In April 2023, I did a fast, and it was on that fast that I really received what I had wanted for many years. Throughout 2023, all the way up until July 2024, I remained sober.

I can’t sit here and make up a story about how it happened; it happened, and I was broken. Please don’t get it twisted. When I was walking in my sobriety, those thoughts did come. Those feelings did come, but I didn’t back down. I stood my ground, even when they flooded me. I was grateful for God and His word, which upheld me.

When that moment happened, a sudden wave of emotions washed over me, bringing back all the things I thought I had left behind. The emotional pressure and pain that I had before are now present. All the thoughts of same-sex attraction and perversion were knocking on the door. I was mad at myself because now I had to redo my first work all over again.

I sat in that moment, of course regretting that I relapsed, but also regretting that I caused God pain. In that moment, I was being completely selfish and not caring about anything or anyone else, including myself, but most importantly, God.

I know God's grace is sufficient for me, but I felt like the lowest of the lows in that moment and wondered: Is His grace sufficient in this moment? Of course it is, for His power is made perfect in our weakness.

Anyone who has relapsed on some level understands the feelings. Before, when I would relapse, I used to beat myself up hard. My favorite line was I hate myself. It was a line I repeated to myself after every incident. It was a line I kept hidden in my heart and to myself, and it only came out when I relapsed. When I relapsed after 14 months of sobriety, that line was on the tip of my tongue, begging to be spoken, and even though I was feeling it, I didn’t say it.

I looked at myself in the mirror and said, “I’m not going to say it. I’m not going to say it.” It had been a monotonous statement that I had ingrained in myself after every relapse.

I have to remind myself on a daily basis that even though I am a Christian, I still have struggles and even sin, but in that we can repent and receive forgiveness. With the forgiveness we get from God, we extend it to others, but we also have to extend that forgiveness to ourselves. It is true that we can do all things through Christ, who gives us the strength, but we must rely on Christ to give it to us. It’s not in and of our ability, but His.

Just gonna put it out there: staying close to God is key if you wanna stay sober. There is no need for a long, complicated 3-step guide; just stay close to Him. In Him, we live, move, and have our being. He knows us better than anyone around us. Being close to God in your relationship with Christ is one of the best decisions you will ever make. I remember hearing my beloved Bishop say that when Jesus is Lord in our lives, in all areas we have victory. But when we fail to make Jesus Lord, we will fail in areas where we once had the victory. He can help you stay sober in any area, and even if you fall, He helps you get up and stay up.

When He helps us get up, the question is, How are we getting up? Are we getting up defeated? Guilty? Or are we getting up in His strength, knowing that we are forgiven? Even after the fall, are we getting up in triumph?

The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. The getting up part can be difficult because we were on a high, feeling completely thankful, grateful, and free from whatever it was, and then we fall, and that fall can hurt, but we will get up again and do even more damage to the kingdom of darkness.

To everyone who is experiencing anything, just remember that your fellow brothers and sisters around the world are experiencing similar hardships as you and me are. Know that you are not alone in your battles; there is someone who has been in the same position as you or is in that position.

This too shall pass.

You are not good enough! And that is ok because God is enough!

God can fill the hollow hole in you and is enough for you when you aren't enough by your lonesome. You can't find the answers inside you, or in any sort of new method of self improvement but in God alone.

Homemaking, gardening, and self-sufficiency resources that won't radicalize you into a hate group

It seems like self-sufficiency and homemaking skills are blowing up right now. With the COVID-19 pandemic and the current economic crisis, a lot of folks, especially young people, are looking to develop skills that will help them be a little bit less dependent on our consumerist economy. And I think that's generally a good thing. I think more of us should know how to cook a meal from scratch, grow our own vegetables, and mend our own clothes. Those are good skills to have.

Unfortunately, these "self-sufficiency" skills are often used as a recruiting tactic by white supremacists, TERFs, and other hate groups. They become a way to reconnect to or relive the "good old days," a romanticized (false) past before modern society and civil rights. And for a lot of people, these skills are inseparably connected to their politics and may even be used as a tool to indoctrinate new people.

In the spirit of building safe communities, here's a complete list of the safe resources I've found for learning homemaking, gardening, and related skills. Safe for me means queer- and trans-friendly, inclusive of different races and cultures, does not contain Christian preaching, and does not contain white supremacist or TERF dog whistles.

Homemaking/Housekeeping/Caring for your home:

Making It by Kelly Coyne and Erik Knutzen [book] (The big crunchy household DIY book; includes every level of self-sufficiency from making your own toothpaste and laundry soap to setting up raised beds to butchering a chicken. Authors are explicitly left-leaning.)

Safe and Sound: A Renter-Friendly Guide to Home Repair by Mercury Stardust [book] (A guide to simple home repair tasks, written with rentals in mind; very compassionate and accessible language.)

How To Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis [book] (The book about cleaning and housework for people who get overwhelmed by cleaning and housework, based on the premise that messiness is not a moral failing; disability and neurodivergence friendly; genuinely changed how I approach cleaning tasks.)

Gardening

Rebel Gardening by Alessandro Vitale [book] (Really great introduction to urban gardening; explicitly discusses renter-friendly garden designs in small spaces; lots of DIY solutions using recycled materials; note that the author lives in England, so check if plants are invasive in your area before putting them in the ground.)

Country/Rural Living:

Woodsqueer by Gretchen Legler [book] (Memoir of a lesbian who lives and works on a rural farm in Maine with her wife; does a good job of showing what it's like to be queer in a rural space; CW for mentions of domestic violence, infidelity/cheating, and internalized homophobia)

"Debunking the Off-Grid Fantasy" by Maggie Mae Fish [video essay] (Deconstructs the off-grid lifestyle and the myth of self-reliance)

Sewing/Mending:

Annika Victoria [YouTube channel] (No longer active, but their videos are still a great resource for anyone learning to sew; check out the beginner project playlist to start. This is where I learned a lot of what I know about sewing.)

Make, Sew, and Mend by Bernadette Banner [book] (A very thorough written introduction to hand-sewing, written by a clothing historian; lots of fun garment history facts; explicitly inclusive of BIPOC, queer, and trans sewists.)

Sustainability/Land Stewardship

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer [book] (Most of you have probably already read this one or had it recommended to you, but it really is that good; excellent example of how traditional animist beliefs -- in this case, indigenous American beliefs -- can exist in healthy symbiosis with science; more philosophy than how-to, but a great foundational resource.)

Wild Witchcraft by Rebecca Beyer [book] (This one is for my fellow witches; one of my favorite witchcraft books, and an excellent example of a place-based practice deeply rooted in the land.)

Avoiding the "Crunchy to Alt Right Pipeline"

Note: the "crunchy to alt-right pipeline" is a term used to describe how white supremacists and other far right groups use "crunchy" spaces (i.e., spaces dedicated to farming, homemaking, alternative medicine, simple living/slow living, etc.) to recruit and indoctrinate people into their movements. Knowing how this recruitment works can help you recognize it when you do encounter it and avoid being influenced by it.

"The Crunchy-to-Alt-Right Pipeline" by Kathleen Belew [magazine article] (Good, short introduction to this issue and its history.)

Sisters in Hate by Seyward Darby (I feel like I need to give a content warning: this book contains explicit descriptions of racism, white supremacy, and Neo Nazis, and it's a very difficult read, but it really is a great, in-depth breakdown of the role women play in the alt-right; also explicitly addresses the crunchy to alt-right pipeline.)

These are just the resources I've personally found helpful, so if anyone else has any they want to add, please, please do!
