"Victims of human trafficking may develop disabilities from abuse at the hands of their traffickers, and individuals with disabilities may be targeted by traffickers because they are vulnerable. Many human trafficking task forces miss identifying this risk factor or fail to make provisions for people with disabilities. People with physical disabilities, cognitive or intellectual disabilities, sensory disabilities, and mental illnesses all need special attention and protection.

There are several factors that make people with disabilities vulnerable to trafficking.

People with disabilities often rely on others to meet their basic needs. These caregivers have opportunities to traffic them as a result.

People with disabilities may become submissive to their caregivers and comply with their caregivers’ wishes because they are so dependent upon them. This learned response makes the unequal power dynamic in relationship with a trafficker, even if the trafficker is abusive, seem normal.

People with disabilities may lead isolated lives and crave friendship and human connection. Because of this need, they may be persuaded to perform sexual acts if they are promised friendship or money as a reward. Isolation can also make it difficult or impossible for people with disabilities to make contact with people who could help them.

Some people with disabilities cannot speak clearly or require communication devices or interpreters to make their needs known, so they, also, cannot ask for help.

Because of the level of touching that accompanies intimate care and medical procedures, people with disabilities can become desensitized to touch and/or may be unsure about whether they have the right to object to and report unwanted touch, sexual abuse, and sexual acts. They lack information about and understanding of what constitutes a crime and what their rights are as victims of crimes. This is also true of trafficked workers.

People with disabilities may not be believed if they report abuse and violence. If they are believed and their cases are prosecuted, their abusers may be given shorter sentences than abusers of able-bodied people. Task forces should promote awareness of these trends when training service providers, police, prosecutors, and judges."

Hardness of belly and lymph from small excess sugars; pain, bloat, sickness.
Food security, food sovereignty; food resource stabilization, food misinformation, food marketing, food trauma, food apartheid.
The word 'food' looks funny writ lots of times...
What is safest for the body while being held down and harmed?
Starvation, despair.
We can trace from the symptoms we catalog to the world we deserve to manifest. We can trace from the resourcing we recognize as necessary through the challenges we have encountered in establishing that resourcing.
When supply gaps and stopgap decisions are made, how do we avoid life-threatening compromises?
If we chart a new path to travel, there is some place to go. On one accessible path, there would be no way to avoid some one thing without entertaining some new thing; here is another possible path. And here is another possible path.
Cleansing fresh vegetables and fruit in combinations that support the nutrient needs of the body have been starvation in the past, impossible or unabsorbable, but are no longer the same as before.
Despite the murky dark, something new is possible now.
Somatic vehicle weeps dark matter tears, yearns entrenched dreams of healthy air and strength and reconstruction of detoxification pathways.
Thrashes in its prison.
Begs silent screaming hope, relief for light and function.
Make the prison pretty enough, no one will suspect imprisonment --- until they're caught themselves in the same trap.
Bars solid, doors clapped shut.
Maybe all are done for.
But is it locked?

Because there has been a preponderance of bots and bot-behaviors on Telegram, we are revitalizing a practice of requiring introductions from individuals who join our chats. Introductions may be private (message @maxmorris), or part of the group conversation.
If an individual does not introduce themselves within an hour or so of entering a chat, we will remove them from the chat to prevent Telegram bot build-up.
If you would like help with your introduction, have a particular circumstance, or were removed in error, please message @maxmorris (or email max@intuitive.pub) to be in touch.
Thank you for helping us protect and strengthen our caring community infrastructure. πŸ’–

There is a lot of arugula and a lot of green onions! There is also a lot of mint and lemon balm I think. There is catnip that I think I am wishing there is more of it than there actually is but I think there's a decent amount. There's this giant wild cabbage looking thing in the middle that I never planted that I am very curious about. I think there might be a little bit of rosemary and maybe a little bit of lavender leaves. I think there is a little bit of basil also. There are these unknown sorts of salad greens that I don't know what they are but I was eating them successfully so I'm going to harvest them, LOL. There may be more radishes in a particular place and I'm going to poke around and see if I can find any. There are quite a few green tomatoes that animals have not eaten! I think there may be a few raspberries. There might possibly be another green pepper if I dig through overgrowth to search.
There was this sort of spiky vine thing with these beautiful triangular curling leaves --- when I was out there at the other day I didn't see it and I wonder if it's still there. I have no idea what it is but it was very artful the last time I saw it :-)
I've been trying to figure out how to have a safe level of physical strength to go out there and bring things in. I'm sort of making my plan. I figure if I take about a week to plan and then I haul myself out there a little bit each morning or every other morning then I can at least bring a lot in and put it in the fridge. And then I can wash it bit by bit...
