I love this so much. I learned at a young age how to repair simple clothing tears. My mom & grandma were big fans of fabric arts, & I took a sewing class in junior high (is that sorta thing still offered today?). I’ve done repairs large & small, w/o even owning a sewing machine 🥰 #VisibleMending

I chose to fuck around last night & have a root beer float for dessert. It was delicious and I’ve had no negative consequences since 🎉 Today I’m thinking of putting jam on my toast. Because I am one wild and crazy woman!!!

"The myth of liberal bias in psychology is widely promulgated because claims of liberal bias in academia are themselves part of the culture war. And, as the cliché has it, the first casualty of any war is the truth." #TherapistSky

Some of the systemic ways our culture has devalued therapy and therapists: -Terrible pay to therapists (shall we talk about the increase of 1099 positions?) -Therapy speak on social media: people who are not trained therapists sharing opinions, with often incorrect/overgeneralized info (1/3)
On Day 9 of adventures with digestive issues, I am experimenting with rediversifying my diet. I’ve been on a bland diet for the last five days, which has helped immensely. Today, I’m having cottage cheese and a peeled nectarine for breakfast. Yes, I peeled a nectarine 🙃 1/2
OMG I just realized that b/c of this stomach bug, I’ve been entirely unable to snack for the last week. Who even am I?! If I do not snack, do I exist at all? I’ve done my best to make bland food interesting, which I’m proud of. But I miss chips & Cheetos & olives & spicy snack mix and and and… 😭
It’s way too easy to make all the “balls” jokes when listening to baseball commentary 🤭
Legendary Irish musician Glen Hansard died this week at 56 years old. Beyond his incredible talent, he’s being remembered for his tireless advocacy for people experiencing homelessness.
Eating bland food is soooooo fucking boooooring!!! OMG, will the gods of Flavortown please save me?!?

I’ve had zero solid food since Friday. I’m very tired of broths and juices and electrolyte drinks. Currently eating a banana, one hesitant bite at a time 😬 Doc yesterday recommended the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast), which I wasn’t aware of. It’s nice to eat again, but I’m skerred!!!
"People deserve to be understood long before distress becomes impossible to ignore. When we take time to know the person, notice the quieter signs, & build lives filled w/purpose, belonging, & genuine relationships, challenging behavior often becomes less necessary." @openfuturelearning.bsky.social
What emotion are you avoiding-- here, now, as you read this? That's the emotion that needs your care today. Start w/ just allowing it to exist-- no judgment, no rejection, no demand that you "handle" it "better" or "transform" it immediately. Make like a Beatle & let it be.
I appear to have had a norovirus for the past 48 hours. Eating a small amount of food yesterday was a bad idea, especially because there was dairy involved (I love cheese, what can ya do?!). While the food helped me feel better and stronger, my gut was NOT happy about it 😬 1/3
Guilty pleasure for lunch and/or early dinner: Nachos Bell Grande with Cholula and jalapeños from home. Delicious! Let’s hope my gut doesn’t protest too badly 😅🤞🏻
So my guys are never losing again, right?! #RedSox
