My partner: If Dems don’t sweep the elections, I’m confident trans people will be hunted for sport. Me: If they do sweep the elections, I think we’ll just be hunted for food instead while they talk about regretting the necessity of it for the greater good.

Noticing that I’m more likely to recommend poetry to clients than self-help books, and I kind of stand by that?

Are you really trans if you don’t wake up every day wondering which fundamental human rights you’ll lose today?

Nothing quite like explaining to your 8th client of the day how important it is to not continually overextend themselves.

I’m to the point that every progress note I write about “encouraged client to engage in self-care to help mitigate the effects of increased stress on their well-being” makes me want to projectile vomit.

I just wanna be clear concerning the Church protest in Minneapolis... and please feel free to disagree are you more concerned with the sanitation of the worship experience Than the dehumanization of the human beings around you?

Might’ve just described IFS parts to a gamer client as versions of a game that haven’t been updated, so they don’t have the fixes from subsequent patches. And that clicked for them. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

My semi-annual reminder to all teachers that even when the system does fuck all to support you, your students will still be in their therapy sessions years after they’ve graduated telling their therapist (me) how much you changed their lives. Y’all are amazing, and you don’t hear it enough.

If any of y’all don’t have a partner that’s a lit professor, you’re missing out on excellent opportunities to receive free lectures on speech acts, and how they connect to pragmatic linguistics over brunch. Your loss. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Guest lecturing in a class on gender and asked, “Why is it important to talk about gender?” One of the responses was, “Because people are being killed for it.” They’re not wrong, and that’s a sad commentary on the world.

A lot of people think that because they don’t see much homophobia in their day-to-day life, it’s not an issue anymore. What they tend to forget is that the bulk of homophobia only shows up when there’s queer people around.

When they talk about living in such a way that people don’t celebrate your death, they were talking about this guy. The world is better for his absence.

I feel like I’ve discovered an entirely new style of attachment that I can only describe as indifferent. It’s genuinely bizarre to me. I will not be taking questions at this time.

In case anyone needed further proof that being friends with a therapist is the worst:
It’s nice when there isn’t really a bad option.

Stop therapizing me and gimme an answer dammit lol

I’m empowering you to make your own decisions! Future Evan will thank me. 🤣

Well present Evan thinks you’re a jerkface!

Your feelings are valid.

New York Times headline: "Is it Time to Stop Snubbing Your Right-Wing Family?"

Above the headline a photo of the vampires from Sinners, asking to be let in. The photo has been modified with a downward-facing word balloon to create the effect that the vampires are speaking the headline.

Genuinely heartbroken to hear that Andrea Gibson has died. Their work has shaped so much of my understanding of myself, my queerness, love, and the world around me. Forever grateful for them, and how they helped us all see ourselves and each other in the Good Light.

Happy 3-year anniversary to Don't Play Defense #Art #Pride
Mspaint doodle- a person strides forward, wearing a shirt with a trans flag. They say "I LOVE being trans!". They have an expression of pure glee.The person is stopped by someone else, who accusingly points while they say "You! Justify your happiness to me!"The accosting person says "Debate me no-". They are cut off by the person in the trans shirt saying "No thank you!" as lasers shoot from their eyes, exploding the head of the other character in a cartoonish fashion.The accosting person stands, alive but expressionless as their headless torso smolders. The person in the trans shirt walks away, a stupidly happy grin still present.

We all know about dad jokes, but we need to recognize therapist jokes are also a thing. Case in point: No matter how many times my partner shrieks when our cat lovingly digs his claws into them, I never get tired of telling them that he’s just modeling secure attachment.
