Taraji P.Henson gave a heartwarming speech after SAG Award win. She used this moment to appreciate three women, who changed the history and sent men into space, who didn’t complain about oppression they’ve experienced and thought about solutions. She called for unity , bacause that is what this film stands for. This film is about miracles that happen when we unite.
This was such a great message.
History repeats.

shoutout to people who cant/wont turn in their abusers because
they dont have proof of abuse
abusers were upstanding members of society
their abuse was legal
no one believes them
their abusers are old, dead, disabled, ill, or on their deathbed
their abusers are family members
they cant remember details of abuse
they didnt uncover abuse until later in life
they were abused by organizations
they dont know the names of thier abusers
theyve been threatened into staying quiet
they arent mentally stable enough to endure the investigation
and whatever other reason. people dont have to turn in their abusers for their abuse to be legitimate. so many of us cant prove what happened to us and are only left with the disorders that came with the horror we dealt with growing up.
it makes me sad that im seeing so many trauma survivors feel that they have to justify not taking abusers to court. some of us cant, some of us shouldnt, and some of us wont. please respect all survivors regardless of how they approach legal justice over abuse.
me: lives for the validation™ i get off of my looks and intellect while simultaneously not believing a word anyone says
