  3. And it works. I have to regularly check in with my team to be reassured and to check my own sanity because a gaslighter’s goal is to make the target confused and create feelings of self-doubt and uncertainty about their own reality.

  4. Gaslighting is such a constant in my life that whenever I tweet about my own experiences (especially wrt harassment), my mentions are inundated with posts that are purposely meant to make me doubt my motives and especially my own lived reality.

  5. Gaslighting is when a serial harasser shows up at your panel with a mob of angry men with the goal of intimidation and then proceeds to tell you and everyone else who will listen that *you* harassed them.

  8. Good morning! Let's talk about gaslighting! Gaslighting, one of the most psychologically damaging types of harassment, is when serial abusers present false information or a false narrative to make you doubt your own memory, perceptions, sanity, or professional knowledge.

  9. "they're just words" "you can't take a joke" "you're just making it up" "it's just boys being boys" "it's just the way the internet is" "just sign off if you can't handle a little criticism" "the threats aren't real because she's still breathing" 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

    Every woman I know has been storing anger for years in her body and it’s starting to feel like bees are going to pour out of all of our mouths at the same time.

    Here's 3,000 words from me on why Kennedy's retirement could mean the end of Roe v. Wade and affirmative action, and shuts the door on basically any progress against the death penalty and solitary confinement

  15. Can someone explain to me the deal with the wolf from the season finale of the Handmaid's Tale? If it's a metaphor it was lost on me probably because I looked like this while watching the entire episode.

    "Is this what death feels like? All those moments, lost in time, like tears in rain?"

  18. The only difference between The Handmaid's Tale and our current reality is that our human rights are being stripped away "legally" through our electoral system instead of via a military coup.
