Thousands of pictures of people's unblurred faces posted right up on the social media platforms that we KNOW are watching us is WILD.

With every picture shared of the protest (parade), the ease and likelihood of the state randomly abducting you off the street for not liking what they see is increased exponentially.

You are not protecting people. You are performing and its dangerous.

So, apparently it was millions out there protesting. Now what?

Yesterday, someone said to me "and they wonder why none of us are having kids these days. They raised too many eldest daughters who raised their siblings. Patriarchy did this" and it's like, yeah. Yeah.

Now that xAI owns Twitter, their AI can do whatever it wants with anything you post. If you haven’t jumped ship yet, now’s a pretty good time. 🫡

I dont want to be a "productive" member of society.

I just want to be a member of society. In community.

I'm in another total deconstruction and unlearning phase/mood today.

This is the place where I feel most lonely, scared, and insecure.

It's also the space where I've come closest to knowing the feeling of true liberation.

I have probably said "remember to eat, drink water, take your meds, and sleep when you need to" 12,000 times in sessions this year alone.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.
GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

Therapists: the only thing that differs from the human needs of our clients and the community is that our clients pay us.

When we set boundaries around care for clients and not our community, we are centering capitalism and its values.

Why?

And- why do we think we can police those that pay us?

Also, therapists- why do you think it has become a thing to "take off/put on" our therapist hats in situations where the human experience is the same, but the relationship is different?

What I mean is why are we setting boundaries to "protect our time" when someone who needs us is not paying us?

Therapists: what happened to us during our training that convinced us that the folks we work with are somehow different than other human experiences?

Why is it as soon as someone is dubbed "client" they are suddenly only viewed through a clinical (pathologizing) lens?

When we say this country is rooted in racism, white supremacy, patriarchy, and cisheteronormativity, we *must* understand that EVERYTHING we do is sprouted from that foundation.

Everything.

We must unlearn everything.

And I'm going to try to show my therapist colleagues where we fail here.

1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports.

He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.

It's so much worse than being reported.

I'm anti-war and its ACAB all day with me.

What if we didn't choose one or the other and recognized and acknowledged they are all upholding capitalism, white supremacy and patriarchy?

Other Therapists: omg no more telehealth for Medicare after April 1st! This is horrible!

Me: behavioral health not impacted

OT: phew

Me: ok this is still terrible news for Medicare recipients, ESPECIALLY disabled and elderly folks

Just a reminder the world exists outside of our bank accounts.
