Contrary to popular belief, providing food, clothing & shelter is not enough for your child. When I was in prison I mentored dozens of “troubled” youth through a program called SQUIRES. The struggling kids taught me so much about what they need. Here’s what I learned. 🪡🧵

The time between sessions on back-to-back session days are sheer chaos.

Gotta pee, eat, drink water, contemplate existence, buy impulsive shit online, cry, restock tissues, annoy a coworker, rethink humanity, and calmly prepare for the next client.

New York Times workers have walked off the job on strike today.

Move over hot girl summer.

It’s angsty therapist summer, and we’re SWEATING, scrambling to cover all the no-shows and cancellations, and impatiently waiting to bust out our scarves and cardigans.

What we learned from COVID? That oil is worthless in a society without consumption. That healthcare has to be public because health is public. That 50% of jobs can be done from home while the other 50% deserve more than they're being paid. That we live in a society not an economy
