I'd like you to see the most important performance of my life. This poem helped me process my s*xual abuse. Now with a few years' distance, I hope my story, with its ultimate message of solidarity & hope, can help you. While not graphic, it is raw, so please be kind to yourself in how you view.

I'm partnering with @goodgriefnetwork.bsky.social next week to facilitate a brand new Halloween-themed event! This online event flips the script on our society’s spooky stories about death & shows how death acceptance can connect us to our values, to each other, & to a deeper appreciation for life!

Fresh from the Global CBS Exchange—ACTivism for Authoritarian Anxiety No, I’m not trying to treat Drumpf’s fear of stairs! This is message for everyone struggling to find balance between avoidance & burnout. And it’s a call to committed action for fellow practitioners to pitch in! #NoKings

For anyone still looking for something Earth Day-related to do today, I still have spots available in my Thriving Through Apocalyptic Anxiety workshop tonight! This is absolutely my favorite workshop to facilitate, & I'm excited to do it on #EarthDay this year! Tickets at DrDevinGuthrie.com/events

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐜𝐤 You're not crazy, & you're not alone This #EarthDay, instead of distracting or doom-scrolling, join me for an experiential workshop ✨ Build emotional resilience ✨ Clarify what truly matters ✨ Transform anxiety into action 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞! DrDevinGuthrie.com/events

New Anxiety Intervention unlocked: Repeating the intrusive thought in a Donald Trump voice makes it sound instantly idiotic. Bonus: Add "You're FIRED!" at the end for a laugh 😂

Someone should tell RFK Jr that Emily Dickinson is suspected to have been autistic & one of the most prolific poets of all time. His mischaracterization of autistic people shows him to be hateful, ignorant & uninformed. More than that, we ALL have value. Evaluating “worth” shouldn’t be a spectrum

On the other hand, more people are waking up to systemic harms & the meta crisis. #climatechange #EarthDay

Fun & powerful

It's a weird #TransDayofVisibility for me because I feel all too visible all too much of the time. If a stranger walked up & asked, "Hey, are u trans?" my urge would be to palm my pepper spray & search for a convenient shrubbery to duck behind. Like, can we get a #TransDayofINvisibility up in here?

I've been there, & this is so real.

I'm working on a list of fascist-funding public companies to divest from. So far: Media: Trump Media, Fox Corp, Sinclair Broadcast, News Corp, Salem Media Group, AT&T (funds OANN) ICE: Core Civic, GEO Group, Asset Protection & Security Serv Tesla, Palantir (Thiel), Las Vegas Sands Additions?

Everyone believes they will be the exception. That chronic illness, homelessness or tragedy won’t befall them. We can’t all be the exception. Life can change in an instant, and most will experience tragedy at some point in their lives. We should all fight for better social supports & safety nets

Literally us. "BOSS, THE FASCISM."

Ableism teaches us that disabled people are “less than”. That they’re lazy or not trying hard enough. Disability can & does happen to anyone. It doesn’t matter how hard you try or how much you “want” to be well. We all deserve compassion & worth should never be based on economic contribution.

This is what frontotemporal dementia at stage 4 sounds like.

Love this!😂Seems like a good ACT metaphor, too.

This is such a great point. Community is so important, and bartering is a wonderful way to get to know your neighbors, rely more on each other than corporations. When community is lost, so is civility and humanity. The ROI when building relationships is worth more than gold…

OMG, this has me busting up! 🤣 #Musk #Tesla

A lot of things will start going missing in the mail very soon. Abortion medication will be a first target. If there's anything you need, act fast. aidaccess.org #USPS #resist

A short extremely relevant read. "There are many ways Trump could trigger a global collapse. Here’s how to survive if that happens." #resist

I'll add that "not letting them terrorize you" isn't about shutting down fear or anxiety. It's about allowing your feelings the space they need & mindfully deciding what actions to take. #resist

"All projections of the future are fundamentally projections of power. This is why it's almost always the white guys who make those projections, because they're really projecting a disappearance of power into the future. I don't know anything about the future." -- Amitav Ghosh, on climate crisis

I love this diagram so much. People who've been stuck in The Inaccessibility Cycle before immediately get it, & people who haven't have an "Oh sh**" moment. #disability #accessibility #disabilityjustice

“[It’s] like a reverse flood from the Book of Genesis, in which the righteous will all be submerged while the very worst ride Satan’s ark. The self-chosen few will ride out the forty days and forty night. When the waters subside, they will be alone to dominate.” open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Beautiful insight about how kids learn consent from what they watch their parents do.

"How Death Acceptance Fights Fascism" is a 5-minute speech I gave at the ACBS World Conference (@myacbs.bsky.social) last summer. More relevant than ever now. It's particularly useful for people who already do work around death & dying to know about. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_MG...

Jera released a video essay prominently featuring my paper, "How I Learned to Stop Worrying & Love the Eco-Apocalypse: An Existential Approach to Accepting Eco-Anxiety." It's really cool!

Trying to remember @drdevinguthrie.bsky.social 's words: "Continuing to fight a losing battle, pressing on against impossible odds, is what Becker (1975) would define as a heroic and worthy goal and is what Camus (1955) would endorse as the type of Sisyphean struggle that makes people truly human."

How to function effectively under the barrage of fascist actions: 1. Set boundaries 2. Use aggregators & experts 3. Remember: Feeling overwhelmed is their goal 4. Practice going slow 5. Build community

For those concerned, I don't have the "X" identifier on any of my official documentation, so the proposed changes don't personally affect me...yet. If you have resources/recommendations for those that do, please let me know. I have people who could really use them right now.

I was absolutely gobsmacked when I saw how much more accepting & upbeat media about trans people was ONE-HUNDRED YEARS AGO!!! It makes me grieve for the world we could have had, where our lives were never weaponized, & it makes me hope...because if it was possible then, maybe it will be again?
