Photos of myself that I was not allowed to submit for my university’s upcoming hooding ceremony but wish I could have: a photo series.

#3 One of my favorite pics of
Padre and me.

(It actually would have been okay, but I could only choose two photos so I picked one with both my parents)

#1 Engaging in social work values by protesting the 🍊 🤡

Maslow graduated from doggy school and passed his AKC Canine Good Citizen Test. 💜

I’m now going to bug him with all the traditional graduation questions: What’s next? Can you actually make money with this degree? Are you going to get a real job now?

I don’t want to have children but I’d love to throw a gender reveal party where the “reveal” is an adjunct professor of gender studies I’ve hired for the afternoon to explain that gender is a social construct.

Please invite me to this party. I’ll bring the gender neutral finger sandwiches.

You can’t just therapy people out of poverty or oppression.

💯 the goodest boy from Goodboy Town.

Some people: “I would never let my dog on the furniture.”

Maslow:

The time I told my therapist I was replaying Skyrim, and she said “What’s Skyrim?” Then over the next 50 minutes, she had to listen to me nerd out super hard about my basement full of cheese wheels, collection of human skulls, and the Dragonborn’s unspeakable crimes against humanity.

The creature personally responsible for my financial ruin and emotional wellbeing.

Sometimes self care is moving your body, eating well, touching grass, quiet time, and creative hobbies.
Sometimes self care is knowing when to give the one finger salute to the things that rob you of your peace, joy, and rest. 😌

Worth a repost now more than ever.

This is my supervisor Maslow helping me study the DSM. He was recently diagnosed with CGBS (chronic good boi syndrome). There is no cure and he will have to live with it for the rest of his life. He is so resilient and brave.
