When people say they don’t believe in “deplatforming” ask them about Milo Yiannopoulos.

1. Today, I have a few things to say about that putz Stephen Miller. First, he’s been on TV a lot lately, because that’s how he pours more poison into the president’s already-poisoned brain.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

I have enough graduate-level psychology coursework to know that I need a plan and action steps to deal with work & everything on my plate.

I don't need another friend to shoot the shit with in unstructured discussions.

It's a mood.

I think I'm going to fire my therapist on Saturday.

I am very tired of telling him that I need strategies, I am not ok, and he says I'm too hard on myself and I'm fine.

I am not fine and I'm going to lose my shit on someone, eventually. A smile and productivity does not equal being ok.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

Hapworth explained: “My awkward phase began at birth, when on the way out, I accidentally insulted my mother’s vagina, and has only gone downhill from there.”

Oh bummer! I don't love horror.

I was just wondering about how they interweave the psychology as compared to Shrinking. Is it just expository dialogue?

We are all drowning and feeling it.

My supervisor is LIVID at home office and saying she understands why another supervisor quit.

At least we can laugh about it.

I have to see my program specialist today and I am resentful AF, and I'm not sure how to handle it.

Then our psych and supervisor took bets on how long I'd last before rage quitting at an adjacent, even more mismanaged district.

Our psych did an impression of me, "My name is Ellie. I'm so fucking AMAZING at my job that I can't tolerate your mediocrity."

It made me laugh and chill TF out.

Our psych told us how her former psych intern says she's dying in another district because she doesn't have an Ellie or our supervisor who actually know and do things.

I was also grumbling about the abysmal support from the district and a unstructured and disorganized new specialist.

Our supervisor told our remaining ed specialist to draft us visuospatial reasoning and fine motor coordination goals 😂😳

Then, she and I were having lunch with our supervisor who was trying to give us verbal directions to a tienda and used East/West.

We looked at each other and laughed. Our psych tried to high five me, which caused me to knock my bubbly water over. Our supervisor ran for paper towels.

I started yesterday by responding to a Non-public School with efficiency, boss bitch energy & helping my supervisor with getting records.

I then walked into our psychologist's office, tripped, and dropped the entire IEP folder everywhere.
