did u know: trans people are literally not crazy

this is about general trauma but it's wild how clearly time spent trying not to be trans (basically from toddlerhood to coming out, whenever coming out happens) functions as trauma for trans people - no access to emotional congruency, feeling like your life story doesn't make sense / add up, feeling like it's impossible to connect with others on a deep level

specifically this idea that crucial things to getting to a better place wrt trauma history include declining empathy for yourself, a coherent life narrative, and learning to have a congruent affect

this workshop is so good though. so rad to hear that what you've been doing as a therapist - what carlerogers was doing as a therapist three or four generations ago! - is being confirmed by modern neurological research etc

at a day-long workshop/presentation on working with traumatized teenagers led by a woman. shoutout to every dude who interrupts her - in a room with at least a hundred people in it - to restate what the she just said as if it wasn't yet meaningful because it hadn't yet been said by a man

think I'm gonna call it 'the freaks, nerds, and romantics'

"closets of new jersey" is the worst name for a tv show you've ever heard right

also my person in la liked the pilot and only had minor notes :o

funny how one (admittedly almost five year long) controlling relationship almost 20 years ago leaves me scared and feeling like I'll be in trouble if I change plans at the last minute even today

@mattcropp
hi! :D

guess I just sent that pilot to my person in LA for thoughts / advice / notes. aaaahh

i just realized - #lovecraft wrote about a thinly veiled portsmouth. you think he ever wrote about a cosmicly horrific yard sale leftover computer monitor? uh oh

went #thrifting for a monitor and a keyboard. got both for eight bucks PLUS found a monitor on the side of the road in the rain which is basically an aquarium at this point and may or may not work. thanks greater #portsmouthnh area

locked the key to the weed box inside the weed box

THE BEATLES would have a more interesting name if you put another s at the end

Pose is the best thing that's ever been on tv and it's got me wanting to burn this pilot to the ground and start over or give up forever

the antagonist of fifty shades freed is literally a man who loves literature so much that he's willing to kill

see guy with huge american flag on his shirt

judge him for crassly espousing his beliefs

look down

im wearing a t-shirt advertising red emma's anarchist book and coffee shop in baltimore

at least my politics are better tho

the disappointment you feel, with yourself and with the world, when you realize you still kind of have a crush on bam margera
