I sometimes take on couples for couple’s counselling on the side.

I talked to a new couple today and they said that they had a couple’s therapist before who worked with them USING POWERPOINTS. WTF

I have never heard of any counsellor ever using PowerPoint. So bizarre! Worse than AI possibly. 😂

I look forward to the day that I quit this mammoth healthcare org.

The constantly changing policies, double standards, petty politics, the lack of concern about clients as people get promoted is exhausting.

The higher they are in rank the more they lose touch with what it’s like to work w/clients.

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.

Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.

Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

I'm in Detroit. It's 25 degrees & dropping. I met a woman who has slept outside for 5 months. Yesterday, all of her belongings, incl her blankets, were thrown away. She has nowhere else to go.

It doesn't have to be like this. Housing + support solves homelessness. We need political will.

So apparently, they CAN insert policy issues outside of government funding as long as it means Republicans get a giant payout from the American taxpayer?

Not a cent for health care, but Republicans wrote in a corrupt cash bonus of at least $500k each for 8 GOP Senators. 📜💰🤷‍♀️

Read the replies — just crazy, income-devouring jumps in what people on the exchanges will pay for health coverage. I do hope Republicans and Dems who have made this possible understand the tsunami of electoral rage that’s about to hit them
