Why yes, codependent is one useful word :-)

This was probably posted pretty close to when I joined Facebook originally. I don't know exactly when that was.

It's worth calling out specifically that social media is designed to keep you on the platform, to entice you to come back to the platform if your attention deviates momentarily from it, and to affect your functions in a way that causes you to be disinterested in other platforms (or, as many of us have experienced, disabled from being able to use other platforms).

There are infrastructural, algorithmic, and marketing methodology approaches that are layered into place in order to accomplish this; it's how colonial imperialism has tended to do business.

Where human trafficking methodology overlaps is also worth examining, because of the ways our relational neurology is affected.

Which is one of the reasons that I laughed again when I saw this memory highlighting, near the beginning of my Facebook tenure, that I noticed it being codependent.

Facebook and other tech platforms are actively using relational flows that can be abusive if you don't have enough resilience against them; if you don't have enough contact with stabilizing relational integrity in the rest of your life.

This has been crucial for survivors of extreme and invisible violence and severe disablement to recognize, because we are endangered by it if we don't have social structures elsewhere in our lives that protect us from it.

Many people without their own experiences of severe disablement don't realize this... and many don't realize why survivors can experience significant deterioration using social media and then disappear (sometimes permanently) from communities, for instance.

Especially considering the ways that Facebook -- and certainly not only Facebook -- has been known to seed conflict or influence public dialogue, we in the Intuitive network prefer to cultivate strong practices of bridging healthy relational connectivity.

We build bridges that assist everyone in repairing relational neurology, which is exactly what is needed to strengthen and stabilize survivors of other forms of relationship violence, especially in terms of intimate abuse and sex trafficking.

These turn out to be excellent toolsets for mitigating and preventing forms of relationship violence and interpersonal trauma that when facilitated by a complex large scale social media technology can look like something simple, like codependence.

I'm very lucky to have been able to recognize that, to have found other survivors of extreme trauma to collaborate with, and now to be able to verbalize it.

The bridges we build between very different lives, very different languages, and very different lived experiences -- these are a very powerful way to inhibit and eliminate predatory influences from our community spaces.

When we demonstrate respect, patience, integrity, kindness, and courage for and with one another -- regardless of what we might see differently -- we make it increasingly impossible for perpetrator networks and predatory interests to take advantage of our relational neurology.

This has been the most powerful work for me and I'm very grateful for what it's taught me.

When we practice this together, we change the way business is done.

We change the way marketing is done.

We create new flows of attuned presencing and collaborative fluency when we repair and revitalize our relational connections this way.

The tools of social media can be used by us to nutritive purpose; there is no need for us to allow ourselves to be used by them.

We are not a dead resource for commoditization and extraction.

We are beautiful, complex, creative, vital living beings.

We get to choose what happens next.

Everyone you encounter is surviving trauma right now, even (and sometimes especially) if they don't show it.

Sometimes, the trauma is far more severe than can be indicated, revealed, or recognized in that moment.

Remember that fearfulness comes from trauma.

Remember that silence and lack of response can come from trauma.

Remember that aggression comes from trauma.

Remember that argumentativeness comes from trauma.

Remember that cognitive dysfunction comes from trauma.

Remember that ideological rigidity comes from trauma.

Remember that misunderstandings and miscommunications can come from trauma.

Patience, kindness, respect, and awareness of the tremendous diversity of all our very different and unique lived experiences -- we can practice and center these.

Take particular care to remember that the person you're communicating with might actually be speaking a very different language than you are; one you didn't yet know how to recognize.

Especially for trauma experiencers and trauma survivors... especially when traumatic experiences are hidden or invisible... the meanings of our words often diverge from what is expected.

This can be challenging to remember when we are all experiencing such intensity.

But we can do it and we're proving it.

10 September 2018 — a Facebook memory with a hell of a comments thread.

"Can you help me locate the most supported and actionable science on how to most safely get Metals out of the body, the kind of metalss released when you dissolve and excrete candida biofilms?

Please help me along also with simple words if possible because neurological issues extreme.

pain in feet is like my feet are full of metal and I am being electrified, pain is Extreme. Relieved partially by coffee enemas daily, but not fully and it is becoming worse at night since the weather got colder and I am forced to use an old electric blanket more (EMF repercussions on body are terrible).

Also need sufficient clothing and blankets to no longer need to use an electric blanket. Body, physical movements, neurology, everything freezes up if I cannot stay warm enough, which makes self-caring for my basic day-to-day survival needs in order to stay alive significantly more complicated (and success less likely). There is no one available to help me if I cannot continue to do these things, and I will lose my life pretty quickly.

So I am making a plan. You are invited!

Thank you for your help."

Ooooh, this got really bad. For a seemingly interminable amount of time. Torture torture. Being turned into a living radio antenna!

And then we made a HUGE TON of progress.

Ooooh, I am so grateful for that progress and present continuing progress.

Fascinating, the comment here about niacin flushes. I knew I had run across that somewhere previously. Neat to find it here.

"gas & electric now due for disconnection.

has any of the work i am doing mattered enough to deserve a steady income yet?

can anyone hear me but the other desperate shambling zombies?

surely a strong bodied person who loves me will become angry on our behalf, and act."

That was 10 September 2018.

Five years later... I understand so much more about this than before.

We used to talk about social information silos, but never quite in the way that would have allowed us to recognize this. Not while being killed, in any case!

When particular portions of the population are invisibilized, the visible parts of the population have more success in signaling to one another that help is available.

But that help needn't extend to the invisibilized portions of the population in order to appear successful.

And then, the burden to communicate about how that invisibilization is occurring... falls to the invisible people who have the least capacity to succeed in doing so.

I spent such a long time, amidst such severe neurological injury and physical torture ongoing, thinking that someone would get angry on our behalf who was not themselves severely affected... because there was so much signaling around me when I was not severely affected that indicated that was something people did to support one another.

But not for those of us beyond the veil, because no one actually knew we were there.

If we managed to briefly peek out from the edges of that veil, to fleetingly cross the barrier between dimensions, it was rarely or never with a successful communication.

It was a haunting!

That is amazing to recognize again and think about this evening, especially considering recent events, emergent challenges, and such full, beautiful blessings as we have all around us.

And hey, All Hallows is coming. :}

This morning, published on LinkedIn:

I am reaching out today to seek business connections who believe, as I do...

...that survivors of violence should be embraced and celebrated by their communities.

...that those who have experienced greatest hardship and most profound challenges have many important things to teach us.

...that professional acumen comes from lived expertise on the front lines of adversity.

Do you also believe these things?

Will you stand with survivors with me?

"You might remember me. My name is Megan Elizabeth Morris.

In 2011 and 2012, I worked with Seth Godin and his team at Squidoo to launch Upmarket Magazine as part of the Squidoo Magazines project.

I began as Chief of Talent — raising excitement and meaningful dialogue to build community engagement and gather activated contributors to our platforms.

I learned enormously from working with Seth and his team at Squidoo. The atmosphere was alive and caring, very unlike business environments I had encountered elsewhere.

Creative, relational flows were valued inherently.

I felt connected to the people I worked with; I felt respected and cared-for.

Squidoo’s magazines line-up included a list of fun, creative, lifestyle-oriented and seasonal publications, all of which I enjoyed working with during my time with them.

At the same time, for me, Upmarket was a special case."

Their process for requesting a review doesn't allow for any option to tell them that they haven't actually shown me what it is they removed so that I would be able to learn from their removal process.

It's interesting... It has the effect of a meaningless criticism, a meaningless social punishment.

Being whacked with a stick without being allowed to understand why or how to prevent it in future.

And to be honest, we have been noticing that kind of methodology in use in lots and lots of places...

...many places on purpose, because of the way it destabilizes trauma survivors...

Just, um. Curious.

"But it's not a simple story. It needs to be unpacked very carefully. Like a bomb." -- Kurt Andersen, True Believers • t.me/IntuitiveNarrative/121

"In any event, for the purposes of this book, I am extremely reliable. I have files.

Since long before I went to law school, for half a century now -- half a century! -- I've saved every diary and journal, every letter I ever received, catechism worksheets, term papers, restaurant receipts, train schedules, ticket stubs, snapshots, Playbills.

At the beginning, my pack-ratting impulse was curatorial, as if I were director of the Karen Hollaender Museum and Archive.

I know that sounds narcissistic, but when I was a kid, it seemed like a way to give the future me a means of knowing what the past and perpetually present me was actually like.

Prophylactic forensics, you could say."

Max shares,

A follow-up comment I wrote about Chapter 2 of Crow Rising's recently released book The World Cult & You — which was fun to write, but even better to share more widely.

“In chapter 2, you are describing very necessary and powerful progressions of logic to address conflict situations most people I've encountered have been monumentally entangled with.

I am a long time fan of taking our understandings about the world to increasingly further-and-further logical conclusions; which simultaneously (or at least eventually) carries us into the land of courting and sharing amiable teatime with seemingly illogical conclusions.

The logical and illogical are close friends. They might even be the same living being, having different whims on different moments of different days. :-)

If we were to stop considering any particular conflict situation before integrating the things you've said in chapter 2, we would be missing a lot of territory.

It is the missingness of that very territory that causes such conflict, tension, and fear.

I have known people to sense this, but only rarely is it much verbalized and even then only fleetingly touched upon.

You're describing it quite clearly already and I'm still only in the first few chapters of the book! 😳

We must apply it to our challenges and consternations around the covid fiasco as well as to challenges and consternations around other difficult territory in our lives; the way you frame it leaves lots of room for this as well, which is really helpful for supporting interrelated thought processes.

It can be scary to open oneself to more awareness of how powerful each of us is from any position we occupy — how the substrate we've come up in has so extensively influenced what we imagine to be possible when addressing the challenges in our midst, and the very real and physical implications that has for specific functions and powers we can exercise. The very makeup of our physical bodies.

And… how profoundly we can change all of that when we recognize the elements and dynamics of it.

Why are so many people so afraid to expand their thinking and ideating in such a way?

Well, cult predatoriality (cult predator-reality) sure has a lot to do with it… 🥰”
