I was @ the Y - I saw a client of mine that I worked with off and on for many yearsβ€”she was one of my favorites, we really clicked. It was a delight to see her!

The hardest part of being a therapist is not knowing how the client is years later. Sometimes, like today, one finds out!

What do MAGAs tell themselves when their dear leader declares war on a US city? How do they make this ok in their (haha) minds? All the shit they spewed about Biden's mental capacity and they are accepting this? Explain it to me.

Today is our 45th wedding anniversary. We've been together for 50 years--I was 19 when we met. We grew up together, I guess! We still like each other--I think that is the glue.

Just called my POS US Rep and Senators to talk to them about the manhandling of Senator Padilla. Just to register my alarm at the way the jackbooted thugs behaved. What will they do to rein in Kristi Noem's and the felon's pursuit of fascism. I left 2 voicemails & spoke to Kelly's office person.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, shared photos of himself and his grandchildren frolicking in waters filled with sewer overflow.

Swimming in sewage. Spewing garbage. Sowing cynicism. That’s RFK Jr. alright.
