Changes in the blog roll

As you might notice over on the site, I finally found some time to switch over the blogroll to using the MT-Blogroll plugin. this should help me keep it more up to date. Obviously, given the size of the blogrolls now, I found that a large number of the blogs I had been linking to had stopped posting for a long time or were gone completely. Now, more than ever, I’ll be taking suggestions for survivor blogs to add. Feel free to send them my way.

Speaking of finding time, I’m having to give some serious thought to determining what my priorities are going to be over the next few months. I’m working a full time job, consulting part-time for my former employer, trying to lead the way on a website development and launch for the Friends of the Library, maintain two websites, do free-lance writing for another, and still manage to be a good husband to my wife and friend to my friends. I’m finding that I’m not spending enough time on the things I really want to do, this site included.

Given that, it’s high time for me to start managing my time better, and then once I’ve gotten a much better handle on how and where I can improve my time-management skills, start to wean away some of those things that are not a priority to me. Hopefully then I can get around to improvements on both sites that have been on the back burner far too long.

Time-management, yet another skill that I should have learned at a much younger age, but dealing with depression and everything else somehow got in the way of that for too many years. Yet another, albeit small, example of what is stolen from victims of abuse. The years of maturity that are lost by being perpetually stuck in the victim mentality. On the other hand, it’s never too late to start learning!

    The Many Ways We Invalidate Someone’s Story

    We could also talk about abuse here too, and all the ways our stories all invalidated. How many of these have you heard from folks who find out about the abuse you dealt with as a child, or even as an adult:

    “You were young, you’ll get over it” (Or you don’t remember it that well)

    “Are you sure it was abuse?”

    “I can’t imagine (abuser) doing that”

    “Why didn’t you just leave?”

    “How could you have let that happen?”

  • How Do We Get Out of the Advocacy Bubble?

    If what I do sounds descriptive of how you live your own online life, than let me challenge you. Find a post that resonates with you, on either blog, and share it with your network. Or, share this post with a personal note about how child abuse, or mental illness, has touched your life with your network. Not just with the folks you already interact with about these topics, but outside of that.

    And then continue to look for ways to reach beyond the bubble of the online survivor community. Because there are survivors and people dealing with mental health problems all around us, and there are also those who remain uneducated about those topics all around us as well.

    You might have noticed some funkiness going on here since last weekend. The site actually was taken offline as a precaution with the host having their netblock hit by a DDoS attack.

    I told you a while back that I was going to be looking for a new place to give all the money I’ve raised, what little there is, plus some of my own. It wasn’t that I didn’t like the Prevent Child Abuse America organization, it was more that I felt like I gave to…
