One of the more surprising things I’ve learned in my years as a marriage and family therapist is that pets are more than just “man’s best friend”—most families see them as *actual* members of the family system. The thing that finally made me see it clearly was grief. (1)

Pretty sure after I die the majority of the replay of my life will be footage of me running back into my house from the car to get something I forgot and me on the phone desperately trying to get #ADHD med refills

Gay marriage isn’t scary. Gay marriage is my husband and me spending hours in our well decorated living room reading and showing each other memes and occasionally we walk to the farmer’s market for tamales with our tiny silky terrier, Princess. Calm down, America.

You don’t think gays know how to read a sorry ass bitch like you? We eat mfs like you for breakfast. Sometimes LITERALLY. Pipe down, Joe.

If you don’t stop it RIGHT now I’ll turn the TV in the next room on and take away your noise cancelling headphones DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME??? #neurodivergentthreats #adhd #asd

This is so brilliant. (Read to the end. It’s very ingenious.) Can’t wait to read his article 😂

Pleasantly surprised to see how many folks plan to stick around. Really appreciate the votes so far. If anyone is so inclined, would love to get more interaction with the post (likes, shares, etc) so it reaches as many people as possible in the 24 hours it exists. Maybe click

This is likely to be one of my more controversial takes, but ultimately the smell produced by a homeless person taking shelter from the cold on public transport is *harmless*. It might be unpleasant, but it can be tolerated (or avoided) in the name of compassion.

Wanna feel happier? I just wrote a small article on how Substack can actually lead folks to higher levels of happiness (based on science). If you've been feeling sad about this place and other socials and are still looking for alternatives check my article out.

Today I saw a N@z1 salute at a presidential inauguration and as a therapist who works with neurodivergent clients it is getting really f*cking gross to see so many people say it had anything to do with autism. Stop it. Stop gaslighting yourselves and everyone else. We all saw
