There's often a person in politics that mental health professionals could have a quiet chat about.
In the current age it is the entire Trump Administration Cabinet.
It's like Trump opened up a copy of the DSM at a random page and said 'get me one of those loonies'. And his wish was granted.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.
The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else
Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

I wish there were an inflatable deer costume.

Then I could dress as stag-flation for the No Kings protest.

Trump has cancelled $18B of spending in blue states. He fired more than 4,000 federal employees the same day he sent $20B to Argentina. He is propping up the government of the guy on the left, while firing government officials working for the guy on the right. But those employees also work for us!

Someone commented that recruitment is easier for them than they could have hoped for because its an excuse to be awful.

I struggled to believe it was not just an aberration in 2017. But by now I accept that these people are there and they have these kinds of beliefs in numbers enough to make what we are seeing from the people in ICE for example more predictable.

Good morning & welcome to Whiskers Wednesday

Do it scared, say it even if your voice shakes, just don't give up.

Courage isn’t loud; it’s the act of not giving up.

And a media that did not push back against the lies hard enough or loudly enough.

Okay, now I want to go away and write that story. I read a Kitten Academy story ages ago about a bear that teamed up with the cats. He got them fish and they got him buckets of honey online. Honey without the stings.

Chocolate is bad for cats (and dogs too I think) so this is probably a blessing. The raccoon on the bear 👀👀👀

Her glitter going to a good cause. Apparently grooming salons in Australia send the 'glitter' to be used like this.

Yikes! But I guess given what they wander around eating a goanna's mouth is going to be a little less than hygienic.
I hope it is a quick recovery.

You can say amazing things if you know that the follow-up question will be "wow."
