No trending audio. No flashy graphics. Just a whale pec slapping with Mount Rainier in the distance as seen from a ferry. 🐋⛴️💚 Thanks to Captain Ross Macfarlane of our #PointDefiance/#Tahlequah route for this awesome video. #wsferries

Me: "Am I a bad therapist if I drop my ACA membership?" GVD: "I've never had one, so if that makes you a bad therapist I'm a worse one!"

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Lacan class takeaway: If the unconscious arises from language... can we assume whales, elephants, and other animals with language have an unconscious? / @the-mel-jar.bsky.social

Lucyyy my new Birks are not a chew toy!!!

Impossibly long day yesterday, then woke up with a migraine today 🫠

So I think I *need* to take the full week off in October instead of just the first half; also, could someone yeet me to the last week of October already? 🫠

No one ever gets to say I own too many books ever again

"Verily, verily I say unto you: Two will be walking into the long grass. One will be taken, and the other left." And lo, the people opened up their mouths and spake: "Do not go into the long grass."

The US Senate has introduced the bipartisan Protect Adoptees and American Families Act, formerly known as the Adoptee Citizenship Act. Let's get this enacted so that thousands of intercountry adoptees finally secure US citizenship. 🥚 adopteesunited.org/congress-int...

The same day Jesus is supposed to return. Hmmm. Awfully convenient, wouldn’t you say?

No yellow day! Wordle 1,556 3/6* ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Dude must've missed me; he's been like Velcro like this for the past half hour or more 🥹

Lol @ the accidental perspective on this one

Same anemone but under the water!

Haven't looked through all the anemone pics yet but several of the ones I've seen so far have blown me away. If I had a real camera and the time... !

How tf is it already nearly 4pm i am not ready for my workweek to start tomorrow 😭

Idk why Bluesky won't let me post videos but here's a still of the Stellar's sea lions! I don't often see two travel close together like this!

Sooo... the thing about walking a mile down the beach is that then you gotta walk a mile back and turns out the day after a massage was maybe not the day to do this 🙃

A barge hauling... dirt? Sand? Idk but through the binoculars it looked like a bunch of birds were hitching a ride up top! 😅

I'm gonna have to wait until I'm home and out of the bright sunlight to see which pics came out best but look! I found anemones!!!

TWO STELLAR SEA LIONS USE YOUR IMAGINATION BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE VIDEO

MARINE MAMMAL!!!

Y'all, this oyster!!!

Whoa, low tide! We're nearly at the nadir, which will be 2.25ft today. I don't often catch tides this low at Point No Point!

... shouldI've driven there instead of Point No Point! 😭

It's Sea Otter Awareness Week! 🦦 Did you know there are sea otters in the Salish Sea? They're more often found on the outer coast, but sightings of this keystone species are on the rise in inland Washington and BC waters. 📷: Jeff Friedman, @sjiwhalewatch.bsky.social

It’s officially spooky season!! 👀💨👻 Happy fall, ferry fam!

The tell of the Rapture-ready is the nihilism toward this world. The desire to abandon it, to abandon the innate goodness of creation and the responsibility to care for it and humanity. The Rapture is to leave the trash behind for the unsaved to busy themselves with. The Rapture is selfishness.

Oh my god I am sending this entire thread to my [Episcopalian] therapist

I didn't realize we were all called to a higher calling than Jesus 🙃

Don't love Rebel Wilson hawking "micro GLP1s" for Noom, or that I see this commercial multiple times a day

Someone send this to the psychoanalyst on Twitter who told me, an adoptee from foster care, that systemic racism is not a factor at play in the foster care system and CPS only removes children in cases of "extreme" abuse or neglect; never poverty alone and certainly not a racialized view of poverty🙃

I will miss the utility box murals after I move (there's one of orcas AND dahlias I absolutely need to get pics of before I leave!)

Hint: if the commercial (or print ad) says their drug is an add-on to your current antidepressant, they're almost certainly selling an antipsychotic even (especially?) if they never explicitly say so

It should be illegal for pharmaceutical companies to pass antipsychotics off as antidepressants in their commercials, 😤

I don't want to ask 'cause I think I prefer the fantasy but, uhh, this being the case, there's a nonzero chance dude was present at my confirmation into the Episcopal Church!? Absolutely wild our paths never truly crossed until they did, the way they did. And how much better am I/are we for it, 🥹

...dropped off the books/clothes at Goodwill and Did Not stop and pick up the rocking chair I saw on the side of the road on my way back home, pls clap

It's drizzly today but still noticeably smells like fire and looks smoky outside... kinda dystopian! 🙃

Ok, so I just hauled said three full boxes of books down to my car, plus a bag of clothes, and, hmm, I think I'd like to be done for the day and also maybe that's my cardio/weightlifting for the week!! 💀

☔💦 Sun, Sep 21 A sublime summery 8 days it's been w/J pod inland Puget Sound. Especially wild their South Sound foray, their first in decades. Orcas reported this morn in Admiralty Inlet. Is it Js leaving? 📸 J pod Double spyhop! Taken from atop Tacoma Narrows Bridge. By Jolena Tagg 9/20. #psws

...this section of my bookcase stresses me out as much as all the other sections I sorted through yesterday did, ugh. So I think I might do a Goodwill run today just to have boxes out of my space (and bags of clothes out of my car!) and deal with this one another weekend, 🙃

Feel like this was my fastest solve for hard mode? 😱 Pips #34 Hard 🔴 1:35

Jkjk I gotta come up with at least 7 books on that shelf to donate, currently I only have 93 books in boxes and my goal was to pare down my collection by least 100!

Halfway through RENT and I've sorted through 2/3 of this chaos! Skipping the psychoanalytic etc section for now and sorting through the smaller bookcase next. Two boxes of books to donate so far. Progress!!

Oh no, Les Mis is over and I've only managed to sort through 1/3 of the large bookcase. This project is the worsttt, 🫠

Lmao @ finding a NW Alliance for Psychoanalytic Study bookmark in a book on spiritual rhythms

Book project update: 1) so far Thriftbooks doesn't want most of my books 2) I'm still so ambivalent about which ones to part with but! I have put half a shelf worth of books in the donate box!!
