As we all know, the US government has three branches: the king, his lawyers, and a bunch of little bitches.

Man, my replies are all over the place for this lol. I apologize for not being better at social media!

(wait but one more thing. I work in home healthcare so I am in the car all day, and thank you so much for occupying my drive times with meaningful things to listen to ❤️)

The important part, besides the fact that I have the coolest job in the world, is that more and more people are understanding that meaningful or creative or productive ways of filling and using a person’s time is absolutely vital to theiroverall health and well-being. And now on to my next patient!

If a person does have a barrier to participating in the activities that make them whole and healthy, we will find a way or we will find another way.
Seriously I just got distracted with OT team spirit there. I should listen to the entire episode before I open my mouth lol

… and belonging. Our roots are in mental health and returning soldiers post World War I. There are several areas of occupation that we address, and leisure participation is right up there up there. We are always treating the whole person, never a body part or a disorder, and

OT is all about creative/productive/meaningful activities (“occupation” is old fashioned, but most of us don’t do anything related to employment). We use meaningful activity both to guide our treatment and AS the treatment interventions, bc we KNOW this is how people find motivation and meaning

(Oh man, that sounds way more cranky than I am. It’s not crankiness - it’s excitement 😬)

You could just Mad Lib that indefinitely:
“Guess we’re gonna have to go back to [noun] killing a whole bunch of us to rediscover why we started [government agency] in the first place.”

{epidemics; the CDC}, {tornados; NOAA}, {hurricanes; FEMA}, etc etc

Also lifetime SCOTUS appointments. A lifetime is reeaaally long now, comparably.
