Gideon and Harrow were both so absolutley bonkers great, and I was spoiled by able to read them back-t0-back. Unfortunately, it looks like we’re waiting til 2022 for the next one

A newly translated collection of letters from my favorite Greek poet, spanning from the 30's to the 70's. Mostly written at sea, as he lived as a radio operator on various freighters and passenger boats. Unassuming letters, showing his trademark mix of cynicism, vulnerability, romanticism and anti-romanticism.

We should all go to the site and keep checking it every few seconds until it is up again. Every single one of us. Let them know they have an audience. ;)

I love this depiction of therapy too!

That’s what they’re there for.  They can handle it.  Do your worst; you’ll feel better.

I’m always trying to entertain my therapist or just make the session pleasant for them because I don’t want to burn them out. I’ve cried in therapy sure but I’ve never really given myself permission to just lose my shit. And I’ve been in some kind of therapy since I was 12.

This illustration is perfect.

A few times with men I dated. The biggest one, perhaps, was with my English boyfriend. We met in LA, he moved back - we were long distance for awhile, finally after getting advice from friends, I posed the option to him we spend the summer together, and said I would be happy to spend time overseas. He was totally…

I dated a guy who was polyamorous in a shitty unethical way and whenever I recognized that he was treating me disrespectfully he would lecture me for not being as “evolved” as he was and that I should read The Ethical Slut in order to be more informed about how our relationship should work. It all came to a climax one…

My career is in international logistics, so I’ve had to deal with all types over the past 30+ years. One immediately springs to mind:

I quit smoking about 12 years ago after having a pack a day habit for almost 20 years. At the time I was taking a course in college and was bussing to school. I was on day 3 of no smoking and was really struggling. Grumpy, shakey, felt like crap. So we stopped to let on some passengers and 2 guys got on the bus. I was…

When I was in my late twenties, I felt like my life was crashing. I already had a suicide attempt notched and I was self-harming on a near daily basis. I finally worked up the nerve to see a therapist. It took me about a year to tell her about the abuse I grew up with but I held it together. That was my thing. Never…

I work security, and normally am pretty chill (literally - if it’s not on fire or arterial bleeding, there’s no need to panic). This happened in our local mall. We had a medical event in a second floor store, patient dropped unconscious, not breathing. Our main elevators were broken, so we brought the paramedics in…

Hell, the early conceptual/promotional art (pre-cartoon version) looked like the Space Conan version of Tom of Finland.

He-Man was the most blatantly, fabulously homo-erotic children’s show ever created, and I realized this at 8 or 9 when I was watching this. The show has characters literally called Fist-O and Ram Man. Smh.

A lot of these tools are Gen X and older Millenials. I’m Gen X and I can totally see both myself and a lot of my friends not really comprehending how easy it is to determine who and where we are from a social-media post.

They’re cultists who believed that they would never suffer any negative consequences because the President and the cops were on their side. They told themselves they were revolutionaries and this was the new 1776. Since they were the good guys and the only people who might disagree were about to be slaughtered, in…

Even had they done none of this on social media, Washington DC is practically the most monitored city in the nation, especially anywhere around Congress or the White House. They were already dumb enough to attack the Capitol building and think all they were doing was First Amendment protesting when, in fact, they were…

oh man, i bet that is the good stuff too! with metadata to boot! :D
