I'm a queer, nonbinary, autistic human who is also a psychotherapist for people like me. I do a lot of fiber arts (especially knitting) and speak a lot of languages (especially Norwegian).

I am caught up on notes for once in my life and that seems to be blunting the Sunday scaries considerably. #therapistsky

#HandsOff2025

Hi, sending people to El Salvador, if they're not from El Salvador, is not deportation. It's human trafficking, and this entire regime is complicit in crimes against humanity. I hope I live long enough to see them all stand trial with the whole world arrayed against them.

"musk turned out to be an asshole, and I don't want to be driving a car built and designed by an asshole"

I 0% believe this specifically because everyone was told to destroy their documents at the same time on the same day with very little notice. I wasn't a fed long enough to encounter this procedure but I sure picked up enough to know that "destroy these documents NOW NOW NOW" is not SOP.

I don't know anything about this movie, but with this cast, Stephen King, and Mike Flanagan involved, I am 100% on board. (Also, Mia Sara!)

Teaching law without covering issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion is literally impossible. I hope Georgetown Law tells Ed Martin to pound sand.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

The exchange between Trump, Vance and Zelenskyy in the Oval Office today in which our country attacked the victim in defense of a brutal aggressor has to be one of the most shameful moments in Modern American history.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

Medicaid and related programs provide health insurance for nearly 80 million adults and children, but potential cuts outlined would leave millions with less money to pay for food and housing while boosting incomes for the extremely wealthy by 3.9%.

Topping off the National Strategic Rapist Reserve in case the Cabinet runs out.

We are having the worst flu season in 15+ yrs & staring down an avian flu threat that has already spread unchecked in other mammals and taken American life Our government response is to cancel planning for the next flu shot, cancel funding for bird flu vaccines & treatments, & cut Medicaid coverage

Absolutely fuck this.

Love my new morning routine of waking up, brewing some coffee, logging on and checking the End Times Billboard to see what new Calamities were pinned there overnight. Then I ride that cortisol high, like I'm surfing on piranhas and broken glass, baby.

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s response: “We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. The MTA has initiated legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York to preserve this critical program. We’ll see you in court.”

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

I have so many things to say but it all just feels so insignificant. I don't know. I spend my days trying to find something to say to my clients that will make a difference. I spent my nights trying to find something to tell myself that will help me cope. It's rough out here. #therapistsky

New from 404 Media: a Musk ally has demanded administrative access to Notify.gov, a system that lets the government text the public. The access would give them large swathes of the publics' personal data too. A worker has resigned in protest rather than give access www.404media.co/musk-ally-de...

Is it me or does this violate the court order? Doesn't seem much like restoring the pages to how they were.

Are you a little bitch? Maybe, if you: - Bully people but get butthurt at a glance - Spent more than Latvia’s GDP buying an app to post jokes no non-psycho person laughs at - Used dad’s money to ransack businesses, buy a gov’t & show your mini-Caligula son how to loot it while high on ketamine

Having gender-affirming surgery in December 2024 was really something. Here I am moving through the world in a visibly trans body for the first time in my life, just in time for the government to tell me I don't exist.

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I was talking to a client today who is pursuing their MSW, and I was validating how difficult it is witness so much suffering that you can't fix. I realized that in some way, most Americans now know how therapists feel. I don't know if that counts as a silver lining to this travesty. #therapistsky

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

Underneath all the shifting feelings—dread, hope, righteous anger—I'm just so sad about the way our country is being dismantled and ransacked every day. It's not because I've ever felt patriotic or thought America was particularly awesome. It's just because evil shouldn't exist in the world.

Have we tried unplugging democracy and then plugging it back in again?

This is how it’s done. Dr. Jack Turban is resigning after the NCAA announced it is banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.
