People with alexithymia often have trouble naming their emotions or sometimes even feeling them

if a therapist asks, "How are you feeling today?" our heads may implode with frustration!

Instead consider the question: If I had to pick a word to describe my mood, what would I say?

& start there 🌈

Today, Trump declared that the nation will host the first-ever “Patriot Games,” an “unprecedented four-day athletic event” featuring high school athletes, one boy and one girl, from each state and territory.

If you think this sounds like The Hunger Games, you're not alone.
Trump just announced his own Hunger Games
In case you needed a reminder that we're living in a fascist hellscape.

See, we used to call this "the fuck-eye".
mamihlapinatapai (n.) a look shared by two people, each wishing that the other would initiate something they both desire but which neither wants to begin. + Add image caption Mamihlapinatapai Word in the Yaghan language The word mamihlapinatapai is derived from the Yaghan language of Tierra del Fuego, listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as the "most succinct word", and is considered one of the hardest words to translate. It has been translated as "a look that without words is shared by two people who want to initiate something, but that neither will start" or "looking at each other hoping that the other will offer to do something which both parties desire but are unwilling to do".

oh no, a "non-white female biologist" got a job!
It HAS to be DEI.
It has to be an international conspiracy to keep white men like Colin out of the job market.
It couldn't POSSIBLY be the fact that Colin makes it widely known that he would be terrible to have around as a colleague.

Another incredible case of white racial grievance about the academic job market.

He reveals at the end that he wouldn’t provide the necessary application materials!
I experienced all of this firsthand, having entered graduate school in 2013. By 2020, I watched non-white colleagues with CVs a tiny fraction as strong as mine absolutely swamped with interview requests and job offers, while I couldn't even secure a preliminary phone interview. I saw a non-white, female biologists with zero peer-reviewed publications receive a tenure-track job offer from an Ivy League university within minutes of defending her PhD thesis. This would have been utterly incomprehensible in years prior, as such positions are typically only given to well-established academics with a long and very high impact publication record. To call this demoralizing would be a dramatic understatement. Combine my sex and race with the fact that I refused to write the woke DEI statements that most universities had begun requiring, due to my strong moral opposition to DEI ideology, and landing a tenure-track position at a respectable university began to feel like a pipe dream

no, seriously, this print of Hiroshige is unusual, not often published. initially it looks like the registrion is off but i think the blurring is intentional, just a very loose style. not easy to do so well

BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

This administration specializes in fearmongering, not facts.

The facts: 86% of trans youth report s*cidal ideation and 56% have attempted to end their lives. Anti trans laws increase attempts by ~72%. <1% report regretting GAC.

If they are trying to protect children, science says they are wrong.

The collective delusion here is useful in that it has provoked conservatives to dispense with decades of bootstrap rhetoric and reveal what they would say if they thought black people were people, that is to say, if these things were happening to them
"Suck it up, raise your game, success isn't a birthright" is a good response to modest unfairnesses. It's a message that stops selling when the system doesn't seem interested in rewarding people of your race and sex at all.

What does the mirror version of this propaganda looks like for a radical progressive administration? The Green New Deal posters that @aoc.bsky.social tweeted in 2019 get some of the way there. They play on our better angels of inspiration and solidarity rather than our devils of fear and ignorance.
