The more psych testing I do for people, the more I realize that every communication (verbal or non) is an expression of their internal experience, not what is objectively true.

No amount of therapy is going to fix things caused by failures in the greater social system. This, entirely:

Whenever I wonder whether I’m actually doing anything with my therapy clients I remember that being in a safe relationship heals your brain

Well sometimes I just lean into being a bitter cold sea hag, but when I don’t feel like it, the salt cuts the bitterness.

Impossible scenarios…and we wonder why they’re lonely? 🤔 I feel like reflecting on those things longer than 15 seconds would be so so helpful. Did you see the new manosphere documentary??

“men who perceive the #tradwife movement favorably believe that they rely on women for intimacy and [also] resent that this is the case. This mentality could put tradwives in a precarious position considering the amount of control–both financial and otherwise–that they yield to their husbands.”

Therapists don’t give advice. I don’t know your life like you do and choices are more meaningful when they come from you. We can talk about options, but you should *run* from therapists who try to tell you what to do. It’s a subtle abuse of power.

The "wine mom" thing is a rhetorical cudgel used to reinforce patriarchy and delegitimize groups of women making a difference in their communities.

A French way of telling someone to be quiet, especially popular in school playgrounds, is ferme ta boite à camembert. It means “shut your camembert box!” * I often use this phrase when someone is being so annoying that it gets to the point I simply camembert it

Seems like we maybe have a problem assessing what it means to be “smart” when our main proxy for measurement is academic achievement at the kinds of elite institutions that have given us such paragons of intelligence and good judgment judgment as Pete Hegseth or Jared Kushner or Bari Weiss

As someone who has worked with adjudicated folk, I can tell you that punishment and rehabilitation are so far from being that same thing. Do we want to reduce crimes or no? Because we have ways that work and we’re not using them

This is what I keep thinking about and relates to the posts I shared earlier about students - grappling with the material IS the learning, so if we’re outsourcing that, we’re not learning.
