I just learned that some people have carpet in their kitchens. I don’t want to be dramatic but I think you people are sociopaths.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

“Psychoanalysis is a profession for dreamers, for people who don't know what to do with themselves. for freaks. It's the carnival, you know, it's still unofficial, it's the subversive because that's the discourse of the unconscious." newbooksnetwork.com/persian-blue... @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social

"There is something of the Socratic in the method of analytic treatment, but with one marked difference. The question must be propounded by the protagonist himself, he must dig it out from its buried hiding-place, he himself must find the question before it could be answered." H.D. Tribute to Freud

There is an article to be written about how the primary currency of conservatism is abuse. It’s about who you abuse to get more power, how you abuse that power once you get it, abusing people who help you keep that power, & abusing people with the power you have, then going home to abuse your family

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

All this business I am reading about social security is nonsense. My mom died on 2/18. My dad got a letter yesterday informing him her benefits were ending and he had to repay the February payment because they don’t give a payment in the month someone dies. They know where every dollar is.
