The Clean Diaper: WWFFS #6 |
Miriam's Commentary
According to Ms Vulgar Buzz herself, this image was one the first that popped into her mind as she was processing her trauma. It clearly references the Babylon Bee post and image we have on our Welcome Page. The folks at Vulgar Buzz are simply a bit more forceful with their message is all.
A Note from Buzz on Trauma Dumping
In the first meme above (we refer to these as 'Vulgar Buzz Originals' or
VBO's) you get the full force of
trauma that I was working through at age eighteen when I discovered I was
one of the rare abortion survivors. My therapist recommended that I use my graphic design skills to work
through my rage, grief and pain... a closely supervised 'trauma dump' if you
will. It definitely helped and I am happy to report I've moved past the
'rage stage' and found some healing with her and through working with Miriam
here as well.
If you have been traumatized we highly recommend seeking healing through a
Psychologist who specializes in trauma therapy like
our friend Paul in Uganda. (nkatapaul@gmail.com, WhatsApp +256765480918). We had the privilege of speaking with Paul
in
Chat 8 which you can see here.

VBO memes
are not for sensitive souls or the feint of heart. They are presented here
not as an exercise in vicarious traumatization, but rather to allow the
viewer to gain some sense of the raw trauma that I and other abortion
survivors have experienced. I believe it also gives a relatively realistic
response of a tiny human in utero if it was given adequate abilities to
express itself knowing it was about to be violently dispatched.
Miriam on Diaper Changes
A mother isn’t bothered by a messy diaper or a child covered in vomit. We
clean them off, sometimes singing to them or tickling them along the way and
then we send them off to play.
As such a mom, I’m treating each
Vulgar Buzz Original
(VBO) as a child with a dirty diaper. I’m not bothered much by its stench and
refuse to ignore the child because it is smelly or in this case, uttering
crass vulgarities under dire duress, a completely understandable response to
trauma.
It was pretty easy to imitate the VBO style with InDesign to make the more civil language
version above. My intent in doing this is to begin bringing healing to the
traumatized soul, like any mom would. In the end however, it isn't important
which image helps a person make a better choice, it only matters that the
message hits home before it is too late for the most vulnerable humans in
the world.
