I am reluctant to embrace my Jewish heritage, but if I were to, I would never claim to be indigenous to anywhere. We are a diaspora, and I am a citizen of the world. A "rootless cosmopolitan" as Stalin contemptuously said.

Ok this might be one of the few boomer complaints I have, but I fucking wish software that is advertised as free actually is free. None of this trial period with limited function. That's not the same product. Don't say free when you're not giving away the full-featured program.

They really should be using cases studies from kickstarter campaigns to help train psychiatrists. You can find a lot of people there with numerous diagnoses ranging from personality disorders to factitious disorder by proxy.

The idea that commiserating with someone by sharing a relatable story of your own is a "self-centred" approach is really bizarre to me as both an autistic person and a psychiatrist. 1/2

Is it really that difficult to understand that:
A: the majority of people on SNAP have jobs?
B: the labour market is volatile and going from unemployed to employed can take months even for highly skilled workers?
C: Rent in many cities exceeds the minimum wage and it costs money to move?
