anyway yeah like she obviously didn't frame it this way but it helps me to say it like that: doctor's orders: I have to get off the interwebs. gonna do the things I can do IRL and whatnot. solidarity & love. take care of yourselves friends.❤️

apparently from a clinical psychology standpoint our brains are literally incapable of processing this constant barrage of horror, and then thousands of people's reactions to those horrors, without completely shutting down, or something

me, who's fun at parties: what did you THINK societal and climate collapse was gonna look like?

Tmw your therapist says the only thing you can use your phone for is Google Maps.

Her exact words were “decrease media consumption.”

I regret to tell you all that my therapist‘s advice is to get off the f-ing phone.

A student brought to my attention that nobody in my classroom was alive when 9/11 happened. I thought that could not be correct, but it was. I lived through that day and will never forget it. My heart goes out to my city and the people in/of it, who suffered unimaginable losses. 24 long years.

That would seem to be their goal/the point

Right like we need to be able to adapt to the moment and current events and our students‘ and our own experiences the course description is a guide my god

WWIII seems like a great way to distract us from pedophilia

Does your university have policies around students recording professors without consent?

Too many professors think academic freedom and tenure will always protect us. We need to be better organized as workers.

Do you/we try to spread ourselves out to fight all the horrors at once or do we choose one horror and fight back deeply with focus? The multitude of attacks feels very intentional. I wish we would be equally intentional in our collective responses.

“Ur-Fascism can come back under the most innocent of disguises. Our duty is to uncover it and to point our finger at any of its new instances—every day, in every part of the world.” -Umberto Eco

I have great empathy for people who are trying to appease, what I can only ever call from now on, fascists. I don’t have a better or more precise word But fascist hunger is insatiable. It cannot be appeased. We have to stand and fight now.

Deciding what to talk about in therapy today

Yes, yes it is

Anyone want to see what it costs for a one bedroom apt at a continuing care retirement community in MA? I really cannot even.

My god

How are you all...like...living? Not a rhetorical question. How are you getting through the day with the onslaught of horrors? How do you decide where to invest your time and energy? How are you balancing self and community care?

With all the other things he’s done and the crime he’s committed and bragged about, it really does make you wonder what’s in those files doesn’t it?

The fascists won't care about x, y, z is truly not the point. Do YOU care about x, y, z? If yes, then it matters.
