what if instead of having a fake name for internet personal-life purposes we could have a fake name for professional work-life purposes

fantasy culture where you have a different name for every role in your life and a true name that is extremely secret

you don't get to know all of me

it's tuesday you only get to know sara

you understand me to my soul

Honestly all the notes on this have been so good, here's a few of my favorites

Isn't this basically the plot of Severance, except not even YOU get to know all of yourself?

LMAO the muskrat--who literally and openly paid people to vote for his preferred candidate in Wisconsin (and lost)--is sharing pics of a protest in my hometown of Lawrence, KS and lying about it, calling everyone "paid protesters." Yeah, dude, as someone who protested against fascism multiple times during my 25 or so years living there, you don't have to pay people in activist-filled LFK to protest against fascism.

how are you people alive.

theres an old cold war joke that goes like this: a KGB agent and a CIA agent meet up for drinks off the clock, and after a few drinks they start to talk shop. the CIA agent extols the strength of the Party's propaganda, "All your citizens believe the propaganda! it's incredible! So little dissent." and the KGB responds, "No my friend no, we are good at what we do, but you are the true masters of the art. No one at all questions your propaganda!" to which the CIA agent says, confused, "What do you mean? We don't have propaganda?"

therapist: so, how have you been coping with your anxiety lately?

Me, nervously: Well… I’ve been trying to treat myself like a nervous cat…

therapist, stifling a goodnatured laugh: Oh? can you explain that to me?

Me: Well… if you have a nervous cat, the first thing you do is make sure their environment is safe and remove stressors… and you make sure they have enough food and water and places to hide… and you provide some enrichment in case they need to work out energy…

Therapist: And how are you applying that to yourself?

Me: Um. If I feel anxious, I’ll see if I need to back out of any sites or conversations, enforce my boundaries… check my environment for flashing lights or painful noises… make sure I’m hydrated and have eaten… and work on a hobby

Therapist: those are all excellent things! You’re a nervous cat and you need care and kindness!

Frame problem solving & solutions in ways that work for you!
