Terrible news: it appears they turned Klara and the Sun into a comedy. I've been waiting years for this adaptation and thought originally it was Alex Garland writing. What a bummer

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

First trailer for Taika Waititi's ‘KLARA AND THE SUN’, starring Jenna Ortega & Amy Adams.

The film follows a robot who bought by a family to help them heal physically & mentally in a dystopian future.

In theaters on October 23.

@FeistyKittyPie wowww - am just catching up. a recent piece elsewhere had my "this guy hates women" sensors blowing up. wild to see it at its extreme. and deeply disappointing. hope you and others are hanging in. ❤️

[Ian McLoone @IanExpanse]

@proud_penelope hope yall are hanging in there ❤️

[Ian McLoone @IanExpanse]

@proud_penelope damnnnnn - just catching up. wild stuff. how utterly disappointing and deeply embarrassing. I really thought he was better than that. Tho I read something elsewhere recently that lit up a red flag, specifically bc it was a weirdly gender-focused comment. nuts seeing it in extreme

[Ian McLoone @IanExpanse]

@ellefromdiscord @scottdomes @proud_penelope I guess bc the idea that we all have discreet “parts” that fit cleanly as different roles (Protector, Firefighter, etc) is inherently an oversimplification. People are infinitely complex…but, if some folks find it helpful, great. Just wild seeing someone get rich on this idea

[Ian McLoone @IanExpanse]

@scottdomes @proud_penelope IMHO: Any framework can become popular with folks, especially if it’s an oversimplification. but being popular does not necessarily equate to being correct, or being helpful to healing. Just because a map exists and is easy to read, doesn’t mean it will bring you home.

@FeistyKittyPie 💯
Another reason personal psychotherapy is an absolute must for therapists

[Ian McLoone @IanExpanse]

@newstart_2024 wouldn't it be great if this guy was offering more than just snake oil? too bad his PET scans are nothing more than that - especially bc he makes sense and says a lot of important things, calling out the failures of the MH industry. but his solution is an ($$$) expensive scam

@FeistyKittyPie @the_mel_jar @IHearSimon @jesusrglez @proud_penelope I’d take a copy, if possible? I had university library access until a few months ago and am still grieving…

Currently organizing a campaign to cancel anyone who doesn’t say nice things about D’Angelo in the coming days. Who’s with me?

@TheCinesthetic easily the wildest LSD trip of my life

[Ian McLoone @IanExpanse]

@ZachWritesStuff That’s crazy. No way someone saw that and was like, this is a good idea. Is it a troll?

[CatBush @FeistyKittyPie]

People who equate exercise with therapy confuse feeling better with getting better.

So you’re saying he’s a wannabe, bargain bin Dark Knight Joker? Man, helluva timeline we’re in

“It was a shitpost.”

This is very insightful analysis.

[Ian McLoone @IanExpanse]

@FeistyKittyPie especially if you are doing so with intention. This is why Intention, preparation and integration are the mainstays of psychedelic therapy - those who prepare often come away with very meaningful insights. Tho, of course, many do not, or they come away with fleeting benefits

[Ian McLoone @IanExpanse]

@FeistyKittyPie Just imagine: you are seeing things from an entirely different vantage point, a true state-change. The substance you take informs the vantage point from which you are now observing things (the world, your life, problems). But yes, insights are happening all the time in that state

If dopamine = pleasure...

Then why does chocolate still taste good when it’s blocked?

Because dopamine isn’t about liking.
It’s about wanting and learning.

Let’s rewire how we think about the world's most popular neurochemical 🧵
