It's sometimes surprising to me how often I end up addressing eugenicist value systems via internalized ableism in sessions. Just...another thing I wasn't really prepared for in grad school.

Relatedly, when people are talking about "productivity" or "contributing to society,"

1. Your value as a human is not what you produce

2. "Productivity" is something that can COME FROM being well cared-for, it is not a pre-requisite for "earning" care

3. YOU are part of this society that is being contributed to. You are not outside it striving to "earn" your way in. You are already IT

I don't have TikTok either but someone shared this with me this morning and you can view it without an account:

@ryanhoulihan I wish I understood even one part of what this gossip was about 😂

"Dear white women: we’re getting in formation to stop MAGA and work towards the multiracial democracy we ALL need.
We’re clear that MAGA authoritarians gaining further power in the federal government will be dangerous for ALL of us- especially people of color, trans people, immigrants- and that if they win, their victory will be carried by the votes of white people.
Join us July 24, 7pm ET."

Oh ho ho ho! Hahaha! 😂
How the worm has turned.

(Yes, he obviously does subscribe to cult of personality, but unsubscribes when that personality starts losing steam.)

@FlashMobOfOne If you are not more scared or overwhelmed than usual, then this instruction is not directed at you.
But people need to regulate in order to make anything bigger than ourselves work, and a lot of people are derailed and unmoored today and any day that big changes happen.

Welp. I should probably log off today because the whole WWW is about to suffer a deluge of the MOST and the WORST bad takes in history.

If you are feeling scared or overwhelmed, it's a good day to log off for a while.

Cook some food, text or call some friends, wash some laundry, do a small tidying task, do a self-maintenance task that needs done like nails, face, hair.

Something to take care of yourself and your immediate environment.

This has been a really packed week, I am just obliterated.

You would think that means I'm getting paid a lot, but I work a) sliding scale in my own practice and b) org-negotiated insurance rates in my contract work. (Also they take three weeks to pay us.)

I took a two-hour nap after sessions so I can get to these reports I need to turn in, but I am still fried.

At least 2/3 of clients this week have cited political events as a significant stressor. People are trying to prepare for the worst. Just in case.

WHY did my large nearly grown child just see my clothes I threw in the washer before work, and instead of moving them to the dryer, just put their OWN dirty laundry in on top of them and start the wash cycle. 🤦🏻♀️ HOW.

Richard Simmons and Dr. Ruth, it's too much for one day 😩

And Shannon Doherty. To add to the earlier Shelley Duvall.

This is a bad week for Gen X. 😥

People are incredibly scared, shocked, and angry today.
Try not to take every statement you see today as that person's final word and fully formed opinion. Also many people figure out their thoughts or process their emotions by writing it out.

@FlashMobOfOne How dare you try to sleep 😂
