Shimmering Vapors

If you see me post about politics please say attention and religion to me

she was a girl; can I make it any more obvious

So frequent correct but still reticent to speak loudly. Must be some kind of neurosis. If only I knew how to treat those...

I hate fandom culture. Not everything needs an in-universe explanation. You don't explain shit. You just start the best film. It's made up, pretend.

Might leave social media again and then come back in six months again

Sorry, officer, I was speeding because I need you to be my, be my little baby

I doubt it said anything original or worth sharing, but I enjoyed doing it all the same

Had some cancellations at work and thought I'd read some Wittgenstein but somehow wrote an essay about a poem instead

Its just another way the government is trying to save money, improve health services clearance rates, and, in this case, to reduce the welfare 'burden'.

I manage increasingly high numbers of people who have increasingly complex issues and ever higher levels of risk. But I do this without the full capacity for it, without the resources that are required. Frequently, the people I am supposed to refer these people to (CMHT) refer them to me!

Speaking as someone who does case management in mental health in a university settings, the suggestion that employers do the same is bullshit.

Why did I buy an drink with my udon? Because I am a fool — a fool and a liar

Reading Wittgenstein and thinking that the way he talks about pictures in the Investigations reminds me of James Hillman on images.

Turn the page:

"My symbolical expression was really a mythological description of the use of a rule".

Well.

I relinquished all connections to this world of dust and grime, except for the rage I feel at twice failing to install a new screen protector

Mind you, I suspect I'm reading this far closer than I need to

I've been close reading the same book for months, and I'm only about half way through it, and it's killing me how if I was still on 12 hour shifts id have finished the whole thing by now

I really miss working 3x12 hour shifts a week and an extra shift a month. I find it so hard to get anything done on my current compressed four day week, I don't know how people live with a 2 day weekend

Sometimes think I should quit the old philosophy hobby and just read poems exclusively

Attention is everything

But everything stays the same because Pyrrhonism is simply the OG western buddhism so...

Of course, the truth is that, like other third wave cognitive therapies, ACT is influenced by Zen Buddhism.

Of course, this means I'm right because Wittgenstein is a Pyrrhonist

I've been convinced that ACT — the modality of therapy I work in — and Wittgenstein are closely related. But here's someone arguing that ACT is related to Pyrrhonism.

I'd love to do proper metacognitive therapy training but those fuckers charge absolutely insane amounts

I suspect it's someone who underwent it in the bad old no-harm contract days

cross-faded on dbt-act-mct

Kinda uneven at first, but once we get into the second half it really breathes

Just seen reichhardt's new film, a tall tale, crime movie, and character study at once. Really enjoyed O'Connor in a mix of an Elliot Gould and Tom Waits character
