i’m not crying you’re crying xkcd: Fifteen Years

I never want to have another client on this list. Heartbroken. #tdor

Had a client describe learning to manage the intensity of their emotions as “microdosing their emotions,” and I kind of love that.

Might’ve just described IFS parts to a gamer client as versions of a game that haven’t been updated, so they don’t have the fixes from subsequent patches. And that clicked for them. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

My semi-annual reminder to all teachers that even when the system does fuck all to support you, your students will still be in their therapy sessions years after they’ve graduated telling their therapist (me) how much you changed their lives. Y’all are amazing, and you don’t hear it enough.

"How did people survive before______" friend ... people used to starve to death... i hope that helps

If any of y’all don’t have a partner that’s a lit professor, you’re missing out on excellent opportunities to receive free lectures on speech acts, and how they connect to pragmatic linguistics over brunch. Your loss. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sad to lose such a powerful voice. May we all follow her example of fighting for the safety and rights of ourselves and our community.

This is how you support trans folks. For any politicians that need to take notes.

Guest lecturing in a class on gender and asked, “Why is it important to talk about gender?” One of the responses was, “Because people are being killed for it.” They’re not wrong, and that’s a sad commentary on the world.

Go practice being mean to the fascist... make it apart of your spiritual discipline . Before you put fork to mouth ask Jesus or whoever you got to help you be mean to bad people.

I’m so confused by UHC’s provider feedback survey. Nowhere on this form is the option to check a box for, “You fucking suck.” Must be an oversight?

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains

A lot of people think that because they don’t see much homophobia in their day-to-day life, it’s not an issue anymore. What they tend to forget is that the bulk of homophobia only shows up when there’s queer people around.

When they talk about living in such a way that people don’t celebrate your death, they were talking about this guy. The world is better for his absence.

You're DJING a cursed wedding. What's your opening track? youtu.be/EJInswpIqwk?...

Pastel Green Day

I feel like I’ve discovered an entirely new style of attachment that I can only describe as indifferent. It’s genuinely bizarre to me. I will not be taking questions at this time.

So excited for the primary results! Can’t wait to vote for @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social for Mayor!

The DNC should be taking notes on what actual social media game looks like.

My theory is that at a crucial point in their lives Nicki Minaj and Kanye had the same therapist, Dr. Six-Crack-Addicted-Raccoons-In-A-Coat, Jr.

In case anyone needed further proof that being friends with a therapist is the worst:

Genuinely heartbroken to hear that Andrea Gibson has died. Their work has shaped so much of my understanding of myself, my queerness, love, and the world around me. Forever grateful for them, and how they helped us all see ourselves and each other in the Good Light.

So glad someone is asking this important question. No.

Ten writers of whose books I’ve read more than five: 1. Andrea Gibson 2. Rebecca Roanhorse 3. Brené Brown 4. James Baldwin 5. Robert Jordan 6. Steven Erikson 7. Carol Berg 8. Melissa McPhail 9. Brandon Sanderson 10. R.A. Salvatore

Happy 3-year anniversary to Don't Play Defense #Art #Pride

We all know about dad jokes, but we need to recognize therapist jokes are also a thing. Case in point: No matter how many times my partner shrieks when our cat lovingly digs his claws into them, I never get tired of telling them that he’s just modeling secure attachment.

Love, solitarity and strength to all Hungarian LGBTQ and allies, defying Orban’s ban and rallying at Budapest Pride today. Despite all efforts to erase us, we shine! #BudapestPride

Yes, I flipped off a bigot harassing toddlers at a drag queen story hour. No, I won't apologize for it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXd7...

none of you had to compete with your subject group for wire mother's attention and it shows

Walking back from the store, and one of the crows sounds like it’s either dying, fucking, or both. Nature is beautiful and mysterious.

You are loved. I've got your back. 🏳️‍⚧️

Can confirm.

My Dad stopped talking to me around when I was 16. I say this not for pity, but to let folks know that if you don't have a dad, to celebrate today, that's okay. Celebrate yourself for getting this far without one. To those dads doing the job and doing it well, Happy Father's Day.

If you are feeling helpless and adrift in the face of current events, I PROMISE you that finding a protest and joining (if you are able and have capacity) really can make you feel profoundly a part of things in an empowering way.

Seattle made it clear: When worker' rights and immigrants’ rights are under attack—we stand up and fight back. #FreeDavidEndRaids

Ending the fast Cesar said, "It's possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane & just. He gives us the gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on this earth." 2/2

try as the navy might, they’ll never be able to make a bunch of men on a boat for months at a time not gay

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

I always find it wild when I have ADHD moments of just saying shit to clients and then noticing it in retrospect. Latest example: “I will be continuing my one-bitch campaign to help you recognize that you matter.”

Overheard at the cafe I’m writing my notes at: “Your cold brew… Is that served cold?”

being nonbinary

Client just said, “Oh, that had to be about 30 years ago in the late 90s.” Why would anyone casually say something so hurtful to their therapist?

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
