You've done a lot this week. Please accept this picture of a sleeping baby bunny.

"thinking about how the Dutch police arrrested a bird for taking part in a robbery, put it in a jail cell with bread and water, and when the media reported on it they put a little black bar over the face to protect its identity"

Of course- privacy matters.

Most people know about fight or flight responses, but did you know fawn and freeze are also responses to stressful, traumatic, or frightening events? Understanding your own reactions can help make sense of your feelings when something happens around you.

Zoidberg: It's giving Tuesday? Why not Operation Safe Escape?

Just a reminder: Your voice matters. Your feelings matter. You matter.

When reviewing your digital devices, start by checking which accounts and apps are logged in. Remove any access you do not recognize and change passwords to something you've never used before. A strong password should not be based on personal details that someone else could easily guess.

It's been a long week. How's everyone doing today?

Do any of these look familiar? Abuse isn't always physical and doesn't always leave bruises. By understanding how abusers try to maintain power and control, you can see the signs before they escalate. Your safety matters.

Fun fact, before Operation Safe Escape shifted it's mission to focus entirely on helping survivors of intimate partner violence, stalking and harassment, and trafficking, we were an educational org called OSPA, focusing on Operations Security (OPSEC) going back to 2004. This image is from one of our

first conferences. We've focused our mission, but still use the same concepts and resources for safety and escape planning today. We're proud of our history, and proud to have evolved into what we are today.

"Thank you and wishing you a happy thanksgiving"

Today, we like to reflect on the things we're thankful for. We're thankful for the amazing people that trust us to help them stay safe. We're thankful for the heroes that volunteer their time to make it all possible. We're thankful for the support of people like you. Happy Thanksgiving.

Security tip: Regularly update your phone and computer software. Security updates are designed to patch vulnerabilities that could expose your information. Keeping your devices current is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve digital safety.

Picture of a woman curled up on a man's lap. Tweet text says "My parents have been married for 34 years. My mom is in the final stages of young onset dementia (diagnosed 5 years ago at 53). My dad cares for her full-time. She doesn't always remember his name but she knows she is safe with him. If that's not true love, I don't know what is"

This is what love looks like. Your partner should always make you feel loved, respected, and safe.

Flowers, not bruises. Hugs, not harm. Love doesn't hurt.

You deserve safety without conditions, peace without fear, and kindness without pain. These are not dreams or distant hopes, they are your rights as a human being. Hold on to your truth.
#safety #peace #love

The steps may be small at times, but they are still progress. Celebrate each one.

While strong and healthy relationships- to include marriage- is something that should be celebrated, we can't give abusers additional tools to perpetuate the cycle.

Our work is far from done, but together we can make a difference.
