@MistressSnowPhD these therapists are the GEMS in a dumpster fire of mental health options.

No this actually happened. Even years AFTER World War II ended, the US government punished people who had expressed “premature anti-Nazi sympathies.” Meaning they punished people for having correctly opposed the Nazis before the US had officially joined the war against the Nazis.

Esp rec “Elite Takeover,” “Black Antifascism,” the union bk for those unfamiliar.

US communists (the right gps anyway) have always been bound up w the Black struggle & the powerful co-opting identity politics has done tremendous—but not irreparable—damage to worker solidarity

@aliciaandrz sure you get tagged in too many of these but wanted to share. As a fellow academic alcoholic… sometimes it gets better ❤️

Fuck I’m glad I got sober bc the next few days might actually have killed me otherwise.

Also excited that I actually have 0 urge to drink!

So much more mental space last 2 yrs for work AND play. Not even the cog diff—just no more obsessive guilt I felt every sec, every day.

Just out! @Harvard redefines the word “protest”
“...a group activity, for example—even a silent one— that is explicitly using a space to make a point is engaging in a demonstration or protest."
What happens at universities that doesn’t fit this definition? https://t.co/u77TF2uBPB

The quality Trek actors (Takei too just that I’ve seen), who know IDIC & how Trek has always been political (and visionary).

Shatner otoh couldn’t make his politics clearer. It’s always the “let’s keep this civil and apolitical” white dudes…

Hey y’all I only know this wonderful human on here & still it’s clear how much good they’ve done in communities dear to me.

They’re also a true medical advocate & educator & speak to systemic BS in med I’ve dealt w since infancy.
