we should get better at holding space for people being at different levels of comprehension, awareness, processing ability & emotional intelligence. I know that's idealistic of me, that I'm asking for the impossible.
But it's suffocating & isolating us. 5/

Trying to fully leave Meta, Oracle, etc. Goodbye 7K on TT, the censorship and biased moderation is not it in a time of journalism's existential crisis and the suppression of free speech in this time of stochastic terrorism against minority populations. 🤎🧡🖤😞🌈✊🏾❤️🩹 #freespeech #unitymovement

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

I posted this a year ago and it’s still true and there’s even *less* available govt run things
BUT
Way more community/local/mutual aid resources to share
We have each other and are connecting in the face of injustice and oppression and that’s how we win

A cool thing about being a therapist in the US and in a red state is that now before I can recommend a (previously free and easy to access) public program or remind clients they have work rights, I actually have to check if that thing still exists
Very cool, very normal

Minnesota, Arizona, and OH are actively participating in the Counseling Compact. So, AZ & OH LPCs and LPCCs (who live and practice in AZ/OH) can apply for the privilege to practice in MN.

Maintaining the integrity of therapy - what it is & how we do it, is arguably even more essential in difficult & uncertain times. The ethos & ethics of psychotherapy + counselling needs to be preserved for us to keep existing as a profession, & for our work to have meaning.

Autistic Burnout isn’t a personal failure.
Not even a little bit.
It’s systematic failure that fails to recognise the basic human dignity of autistic humans.

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

Why would a Caucasian, financially secure Boomer like me want to get involved in this mess? I could just sit back and enjoy life. But I can't.
My generation is ignorant.
But not all of us.
I want Humanity to succeed.

Seeing artists get “what is this style called” flings me into despair… on one hand it’s a type of adaption for tag based social media, on the other hand the style is called that person’s fucking drawings!!! That style is called BEING ALIVE
