WOO HOO called a new community partner who may be sending me referrals

Ok friends my partner and I are in a SPOT. We’ve both had some unexpected expenses in the last couple of weeks, and some resources that I thought I would have access to via school aren’t going to be available until sometime in the middle of January. gofund.me/54e690bd8

P made fancy breakfast!

Intake session went well!!

:( potential new client's health insurance is one i'm not yet in network with

The instant pot chicken thighs I made to go into the curry P plans on cooking is fuckin fantastic

a gay poem from my reading tonight: “be fat, do crimes” by baruch porras hernandez

we shut the cats out of the bedroom last night because they were running around creating a ruckus and now my old man cat Will Not Leave My Chest

been an awful good girl 🎁 #art

i love the work i do but sometimes i get real cranky about my field

We cleaned the house up for a friend coming over for belated thanksgiving dinner today and it looks great. Two problems, though: 1) didn't get the weekly laundry done,and 2) I have meds at the pharmacy and am struggling to find the spoons to go pick them up

therapy homework: - Think about how the experience of not being triggered is be able to act without thinking about what may happen (eg dancing like no one is watching.). Some people are raised outside of a panopticon. (note: literally told my therapist this feels fake af.)

There are some times I love my job.

when contemplating whether to participate in news cycle chatter* it's good to ask "might I more fruitfully spend my keystrokes reminding people that wolves are cool and badass" *not gonna call it "discourse" I'm reclaiming discourse for undergrad semioticians

I cooked! Sort of. In the instant pot. We'll see how it goes.

Did my shot on time this week despite the fatigue and the horrors

Was told I should do it in high school but needed much more therapy and to sober up first.

Jeep may have just died .......

bizdev and client day. really.... do not think it'd be a good idea for me to go to in person but also recognize that there is a lot of demand for in person therapist services

Post event crash + overstimulated+ being really mean to myself

Chanting to my self as I eat: I am sad because I'm tired, I am tired and it makes me sad. There are a bunch of reasons to be sad and that I'm tired is one of those reasons.

Shout out to @sweatermuppet.bsky.social - a killer sticker/zine artist out of NH. Prices are reasonable, great quality, and shipped quickly. Good stuff. 👍🏼 sweatermuppet.bigcartel.com

come on, self. if you leave now, you get rare november sun AND may be home before Fucking 5 oclock Traffic

wish me luck gang. i have to call an insurance company. fml.

Rice and gravy, dirty rice, and boudin. all need to get in my mouth rn.

Woke up to a pretty care practice email I'm super stoked about!

When I was in third grade, my best friend's home was my favorite place to go. She, her mom, and her sister lived in an apartment. They had a beat up old minivan and movies.

The Feast of the Listening Lady is Dec 16… have something nice to eat, love your fellow human, idk maybe consider shutting the fuck up a little bit

this is going out to all my paid patrons in December! If you’re not a paid patron and you want one, lmk here and I’ll see what the extras situation looks like 👍

Think I might be falling into that which resembles the grave but isn't as gain, gang

laying my head on the desk about some of the work i'm doing in therapy

Today is the third day in a row I have done a little 2 block walk with P, and that's on top of grocery shopping earlier.

good session with private practice client but immediately followed by people in the therapist group i'm in sharing about how they are losing clients because clients can't afford the insurance

Went to a grocery store today, very rare for me. P usually goes in person, I get grocery deliveries.

always fascinated by idea that i am not being sincere or that my tinglers are a joke or that this is a 'bit'. on one hand i get it because my art is BY DEFINITION unusual, but i just think WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE? what would me being 'fake' even mean? imagine writing 400 books over 10 years for a 'bit'

to be honest if we wanna dive REALLY deep, the answer is obvious: it has more to do with the ones doubting the possibility of sincerity. it is very difficult to fathom someones sincerity if youve slathered yourself in irony for ages and ages. this is not intended as a slight. i feel for those buds

Things in job are a shitshow! I am attempting to keep my head down as much as possible! I need to fuckin get my ass into gear networking for private practice stuff!!!

In order to use my body with others it would probably be helpful to get in touch with my body's needs myself

I feel groggy and shitty this morning. It is a private practice day with no clients. I'd hoped to get shit done but that is morphing into "lay down so not to fall over"

I finished my most recent book. What shall I turn to next for escapism?

Watching The Summer Hikaru Died with P and getting teary about it

This is not an emergency fundraising situation or anything, but work has a new policy that you can't make up holiday hours so I'm gonna be short 2/4 weeks this month. I have a bunch of prints available, and as per usual, there's a big sale on: www.inprnt.com/gallery/kati...

Keep Trying #art

rough therapy session tonight. lots of focus on shame around struggling to focus. therapy hw for this week: - Remember that working on shame is working on productivity. Like DBT therapy frames it (therapy interfering behavior), it interferes with our ability to accomplish.

I saw @erinkyan.bsky.social 's lamb roast and now I really want one ....
