On the subject of #abusive #therapists...

I want everyone to consider the process of getting a #therapist like the process of dating:

During your intake, they're getting to know you. Get to know them too. Ask them about their philosophies and strategies vis-à-vis #therapy. Ask them how they feel about people with your kinds of issues and how they'd treat those.

And the moment you see a reg flag, say thank you, and find an exit. You don't owe anyone, least of all a therapist you've hired to help you heal, the "full hour." Nor do you owe them "a chance." Your only responsibility is to be kind to yourself.

Move onto the next therapist. Also as with dating, there's hundreds of us. We're replaceable as far as you're concerned. You are not. 💙

@lolipropagandabot #Japan still persecutes #artists to put black bars on #NSFW drawings though: While their resistance to #Western puritanism is admirable, they have their own long road out of the cave of the dark ages #America & friends want to drag them back in.

Apparently, there's something called "the #Intellectual Dark Web," a group of #conservatives who use big words to obfuscate meaning and common sense, all in the hopes of empowering #fascists and #racists in the #Western world. This group includes fascist favorites like Sam #Harris, Jordan #Peterson, Dave #Rubin, and Ben #Shapiro.

All I'm thinking right now is, "Wow. This is the best they can do?" And it is. There is nothing intellectual about them; they only cosplay intellectuals while shilling for the most #extremist elements of the contemporary #American #right wing. They have no #principles, as evidenced by how often they contradict themselves, often in the same sentence.

Unfortunately, these folks are very good at convincing folks who are less educated (not less intelligent, just less formally educated) than they that they're "geniuses" who are only "concerned" about the direction our #society is headed in.

They're not. Pick up a dictionary, keep Google close, and listen to one of them speak for a few minutes. #Factcheck everything they say. You'll quickly find that they're either ignorant, liars, or both.

My bet is on both.

P.S. Be suspicious of anyone who says "I'm going to tell you things that they don't want you to know." Ask them who "they" is. Ask them what motivation "they" have to hide the "truth" from you. Ask them how they were able to learn that which had been so effectively hidden from you. The conspiracy theorist in them will slither right out of their mouths like an especially aggressive tapeworm.

cant remember if i posted this one 🤔

In 2020, Nature endorsed Joe Biden in the US presidential election.

A survey finds that viewing the endorsement did not change people’s views of the candidates, but caused some to lose confidence in Nature and in US scientists generally (Nature)

it turns out when we do politics people trust us less as scientists
