Mental health counselor, dad, husband, podcaster, sort of writer.
Sometimes as a counselor I have the situation where I’m in a session & can’t leave & all I have is old, cold coffee that now tastes awful but my afternoon fatigue is kicking in and I have to drink it like I’m taking shots of nasty brown liqueur just to stay focused. Almost Xmas break tho so FUCK IT

This is a truly remarkable moment. Simultaneously debunking Kristi Noem’s lie in real-time and elevating the story of a veteran who was deported under Trump & Noem’s dehumanizing, belligerent deportation policy.
MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?
NOEM: We haven't deported veterans
MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence.
All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.

Saw @realgdt.bsky.social’s ‘Frankenstein’ at the Academy Theater in Portland and it was beautiful! Gorgeous film and soulful portrayal of the Creature. So glad saw it on big screen.

It is a choice to give Argentina a $40 billion bailout
It is a choice to use ICE in a way which terrorizes US citizens
It is a choice to tear down the East Wing of the White House and spend $350 million on a ballroom
Just as it is a choice to starve 42 million Americans by refusing to fund SNAP

I want to post about the protests on Saturday the 14th. I read we need at least 11 million people to make a difference. Please make sure you are PEACEFUL. We have to show this regime there’s more of us than them. This will be our last chance to make a difference. Please repost this.

Honestly? If I could get this version on disc, it would become my preferred viewing version. #starwarsbeerparty
TIL: When the Original Star Wars Trilogy finally aired on Chilean TV in 2003, the network spliced custom beer commercials into the films themselves to avoid cutting to commercial breaks.
these additional scenes turn Obi-Wan & Luke into raging space alcoholics who are constantly shotgunning booze.

Today I am grateful for my coffee (San Francisco Bay organic Rainforest Blend…great deal at Costco), as well as…my job? It’s flexible—I work from home, and it pays pretty well and I enjoy it. Which are three things that, unfortunately, a lot of people can’t say. Plus MLB season starts soon!

📌On the debate stage in 2016:
TRUMP: “Putin said nice things about me. He has no respect for her ... and I’ll tell you what, we’re in very serious trouble.”
HILLARY CLINTON: ”Well that's because he'd rather have a puppet as president of the United States.”
FACT CHECK: She was 100% correct.
