it’s unfair to take Yalom’s quote to imply he would blame a Palestinian patient for their reactions to the occupation. a therapist also can’t eliminate that violence from the world. tbh they can’t generally “make” any conditions/circumstances change (except 5150s, that’s real..)
respectfully i believe that people do the best they can under oppressive circumstances out of their control, and people also get in their own way. therapy can only address the latter — it can’t end occupation or racism & tbh it would be harmful if it tried. that work is elsewhere

fresh garlic and salt > garlic powder and salt >>> garlic salt (no control over ratio of garlic to salt). honestly i’ve stopped putting powdered seasonings in everything like i used to. i think it can muddle the flavors
“straight” guys who post gym thirst traps and then pretend to be mad when gays thirst over them can literally suck my dick.. like show some respect to the community that’s gonna be paying your bills when you run out of cash and start your OF lmao
not people calling the other guy a narcissist/abuser for not responding soon enough ☠️☠️☠️☠️ like i relate to this person’s anxiety for sure and also no one is a villain here just from these texts. just gays being messy, as we are
my former sex shop manager told me this is because there’s a finite amount of silicone in the world and they’re running out 😭😭 upsetting if true b/c prices have like doubled since the pandemic. i need to stock up before the silicone apocalypse
