Psychology’s core function under late-stage capitalism is to promote quietism and self-blame in order to quell that growing sense we all feel that something is deeply wrong and we should all come together to do something about it
You'll be pleased to know these include "have a laugh" "splash cold water on your face" and "don't eat processed foods" so do remember to do these things when you're freaking out 👍

As a Jew, I've always worried that "Never Again" would mean "Never Again TO US," but it's wild to see someone just come right out and say that.

That Trump clip that’s doing the rounds is so like my father was, I felt it viscerally.
The raging stare, the snarl, the humiliation directed at her body.
Everyone behaving like this is just normal.
It’s relieving to see people have a strong reaction to it tbh.

Meanwhile when the Sisters of Our Lady Of Charity kindly handed the former Magdalene Laundry on Sean McDermott St back to the State, they hung on to the car park, so they will financially benefit from whatever memorial is eventually put there to the women they enslaved.
'“This is the first land rematriation by Catholic sisters in the history of the country,” Koteles said. “They're setting a precedent for the largest private landowner in the world—the Catholic Church—and that's a huge invitation to healing...”'

Really disappointed with Lidl Ireland. They've stopped allowing exchange of points for vouchers till the new year, so no getting any Christmas stuff with your points. I'm sure I'm not the only one that saved them up for Christmas, lots will be more in need of them than I am. Really mean spirited.

These Dáil speeches by the coalition licking Paschal's hole are hard to listen to.
"Ireland's loss is the world's gain" & talking about how he steered the Irish economy to prosperity & stability.
Prosperity for who? Stability for who?
The arrogance of it.

Justice and Migration Minister Jim O'Callaghan said he's committed to ensuring Ireland is 'not viewed more favourably than the UK by those seeking to claim asylum'.

Thoughts on shame in therapy:
Ime, most psychodynamically trained therapists have been taught to explore the early origins of the client’s pain when expressed toward the therapist.
But importantly, I and many others were not taught that the client’s reaction also belongs in the here and now.
