Platform-chaser. Banned somewhere, but not Chicago. social worker. shitlib (not resist). Mandate of Heaven-haver. she/her.
crazy in love with my children Yatcher, Thates, and Thardley.
what did the Cheesecake Factory ever do to any of you except provide delicious chonks of Adam’s Fudge Cup Ripple
why get a therapist and initiate the difficult effort of change and introspection, when you can get sycophants and hangers-on which is much more easy and fun for you

Kim Kardashian Reveals She's 'Never Seen a Therapist' Due to Her Supportive 'Friend Circle': 'I Hit the Jackpot'
During the June 6 episode of 'The Kardashians', Kim Kardashian raved about her inner friend circle, including pals Allison Statter, Simone Harouche, Lindsay May, Sarah Meyer Michaelson, Zoe Winkler Re...
people.comMy German-American relatives are perhaps the least antagonistic people I have ever met. Midwestern nice.
I’m German too and the only thing I learned is that if you’re not constantly moving, that means you’re forced to have an emotion
Mrs. Alito says she's "from Germany." She was born there while her dad was serving on an Air Force base. They moved back when she was a toddler.
Her parents were from Oklahoma & Kentucky. So for her to say "I'm from Germany" suggests a real deep reason to identify with something about that country
Yet, we still have a bunch of problems and a terrible loneliness epidemic. That combined with youth education loss from
COVID + socialization loss, I am concerned, yes www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/a-year-...
A Year of Record-High Suicide Rates
The suicide rate in the United States recently reached its highest peak since 1941.
www.psychiatrictimes.comAlso good news www.nytimes.com/2024/05/15/h...
Overdose Deaths Dropped in U.S. in 2023 for First Time in Five Years
Preliminary numbers show a nearly 4 percent decrease in deaths from opioids, largely fentanyl, but a rise in deaths from meth and cocaine.
www.nytimes.comIt is not that case in Chicago, but I’m glad to hear anecdotally things are good for you
Nah lol. It’s impossible to get therapy/therapists, wait lists are super long everywhere, and getting psych beds is harder than ever
So it’s just really hard to square that with data that shows violent crime is down significantly
But we still are crazy though that’s the thing lol. Like we still have a mental health crisis lol
Sorry to link but listen to the video. She sounds much more unhinged x.com/lawindsor/st...
Ahhhhh!! As I work in Chicago with people with schizophrenia, this man is near and dear to my heart
It’s literally not their fault. We literally don’t get it, we work with people and aren’t meant to code lol
I always feel bad when the tech people at my agency, who are so nice, tell us about some exciting new feature they spent a long time working on or some necessary patch, and none of us can appreciate it because none of us understand what the hell they do
is the point of them to fascinate us? Because I don’t think should be the point of op-eds that influence public policy.
We just elected a compulsively watchable president who was and is a criminal
Stancil is fundamentally a good, tho fucking weird person I feel. Liz is broken. And Matt is so gross
can’t stress this enough.
I was the target of so many pile-ons on the other site, and I’ve never had one here. Zero.
strong block really does a lot of work to avert pile-ons if you can react in real time
I realized I love bluesky the other day (I’ve blocked 25% of this site and I have a perfect bubble)
Editor’s note:
(1) men can have reproductive organs
(2) Liz is a Catholic convert
But you know, you all get me lol
No no it’s good you do that. You have to neutralize the people like me who are prone to hyperbole. We need both lol

youtu.beAlso Matt is racist. I hate that. He’s explicitly used 4chan type racist memes against Asian people before. (I don’t have any reason to think Liz is explicitly racist)
Literally it doesn’t matter. This post is probably stupid of mine anyway.
Oh yeah you’re right. That’s dumb. Also she was a great cake baker and I earnestly liked those posts. I will even try the one with basil frosting
My god. Yes, it’s like Wesley Willis lived on the damn CTA and he had more interesting to say than half of Americans currently lol
So many Americans are quirked up little weirdos who also are accountants and claims adjusters, let them shine
What? Are you being obtuse bsky.app/profile/pete...
I have asked to see evidence of that bad behavior. Other than that one Twitter exchange, nobody has sent any. (Okay, now I'm done.)
I didn’t even know about it but this whiny shit is the problem with legacy media
That sucks for you.
It’s nice you’re not gay, and don’t have reproductive organs and her evangelical narratives don’t affect you much
Last night, perhaps unwisely (it was late, I was tired) I praised Elizabeth Breunig. Since then I have been insulted, shamed, and mocked for defending someone who isa terrible villain of some kind. She's... a monarchist? A theocrat? A transphobe? And I, of course, am an idiot or worse. Very X-like.
I’ve always said that’s why Obama is good for the job. He’s composed and almost healthily narcissistic. I think Joe is in it for the patriotism
It would be important because loneliness impacts important strategic decision-making
Imagine feeling completely alienated from people emotionally, and that’s kind of the nature of the job.
Maybe it doesn’t have to be inherent lonely but to me it probably would be
Has somebody studied the loneliness of the American presidency. I think about that a lot
She isn’t being unreasonable at all to me. And I can appreciate that the cishet man is making an effort to attend therapy. This is workable without knowing any more
I feel for both people. This is just a really unfortunate incident. One of the reasons why I don’t think virtual therapy is great, and in-person is much better
