Social worker, therapist, all around sardonic person. Largely unknown but I take up a lot of space in my own mind.

Screencap of clawbacks negotiated with Amazon, recipient of a $20 million rent subsidy that Charlie Baker falsely claimed to the public was for Seaport transit improvements.
Meanwhile, Walsh’s BPDA quietly relieved Amazon’s landlord of $20 million in pre-existing transit improvement obligations.

I’m still a novice so didn’t post why I put that up. It’s a shocking example of what we are all discussing here: the creation of mob thinking in large, isolated, bubbles in social media. The wellness to dead baby pipeline is real and we need to find a way to combat it.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?
We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

As an anthropologist who became a social worker and clinical therapist I think this idea of a Clinical ontologist is gold. I aspire to be a Clinical Anthropologist, bouncing between the individual psychological issues and the larger social and cultural currents that create this problem, this person.

Just saw someone described as an "ontologist" and now I want Clinical Ontologist to be a job title.
Welcome to the Department of Clinical Ontology. Let's go over your chart. I see that you are. Are you still as you were or are you otherwise? For your case of being, I prescribe becoming.

On foot everything stays connected, for while walking one occupies the spaces between those interiors in the same way one occupies those interiors. One lives in the whole world rather than in interiors built up against it.

I thought I could not go any closer to grief without dying /I went closer, and I did not die./It's not the weight you carry but how you carry it -

I’m having a slow work day—the crowd flare thing mercifully didn’t interrupt my therapy sessions (which are all online) but I graduated one client (yay) and someone else moved session (fine) so I am taking it easy and reading things and watching C drama.

I know it’s early to say this and everything in American and specifically Democratic politics cuts against it but I WANT KAMALA HARRIS A BLACK WOMAN WHO WAS A PROSECUTOR to be the next President of the United States. We need a fucking new broom and it can’t be another white guy in a good suit.

This explains a lot. Read it and weep. Then vomit. And then realize what a consummate creep and poseur this man was. And yet how very clever and seductive he could be with his money and his flattery.

My guess is that Trump will end up fleeing to Dubai one minute after Ivanka and Jared tell him the jig is up and they are moving there permanently too. I don’t think he will last out this term and I think his fantasy of a third term is dead, even in his own mind at this point.

I’m an internet nobody. But can we please not spend another minute ginning up outrage at the Dems in the Senate? By all means—BY ALL MEANS—if you live in their district or donate to them STOP and choose better. Barrage them with criticism. But the system doesn’t incline them to care about the genpop
