As for me, am I doing okay? Outside of work?
I’m alright. I’m getting there. Have an appointment with my #therapist at 10am and have some stuff I want to talk about. The #Hillsborough anniversary often brings up emotions I try to avoid, but I’m becoming more open to feeling what I feel and leaning into that. It’s a learning curve for me, but I’ve been doing some reading on #vulnerability and it’s been a hell of an eye opener for me.

Goodbye Charles Silverstein whose presentation before the American Psychiatric Association in 1973 led to the removal of homosexuality as a mental illness from DSM #gay #therapist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Silverstein
I was looking at #jobs earlier, and all I could see was one compromise after the other. Imagine! To be comfortable in this capitalist system, I have to spend my time - my life - furthering someone else's capitalist agenda, nationalistic ideals, or otherwise work to concentrate someone else's #power & resources. And the folks who say they do something different appear to all be lying - I suppose someone has to pay them too in the end, how else could they afford my cushy day #rate?
I suppose I could #volunteer, or pay for #learning opportunities and adopt someone else's way of viewing the world for a while. That'll make me feel better! Or I could start walking on someone's road to #spiritual enlightenment and tell myself that, if these people say it's OK, then it must be. Even self-employed as a most #progressive #consultant, #facilitator, #coach, #therapist or - fuck it - #white #shaman #entrepreneur, I help people reflect and #dream for just a moment so that they can get the fuck back to #work. How else could they afford my #competitive hourly rate?
And now I'm getting old! I wish I could say that I'm looking forward to what the next generation will come up with, but then the world is ending so... So perhaps things are just shot to shit, #ragnarok is coming and I'm getting #old
Well, at least I #served a #purpose throughout my life. I fed the leeches at the top by giving them my #time, paying my #taxes, tossing my #vote, and generally being #busy and #good in #fear of not ending up a #bum, in #prison, or worse! At least I wasn't (openly) #racist, I kept my #sexism to my personal relationships and only implicitly supported the #patriarchy by insisting it's not there at all. I'm definitely a #feminist though, I was always terrified of my #mom. And although it really made me feel better to #judge people who were fatter, poorer or weaker than me, I only occasionally shared my true feelings with them. Oh, and not to mention the folks with smaller #dicks - haha! - and #black folks, #women or #queer people, thank Thor and the Lord and the Lady that I'm dying before I can no longer feel #superior to them!
But I wasn't bad. I did enjoy cheering for #BLM, and #XR, go you! For a moment there, I felt like even I was doing something! (Although #UFC and the #worldcup were more fun.) But mostly, I suppose, I mastered the art of shutting the #fuck up, silently enjoying my #safety and my #priviledge, and - oh, this I did really well - quickly inventing new #excuses for my pale & hairy ass in the elevator up to my 28th floor #hotdesking space. Change? How? I mean, it was just never the right time... And hey, my therapist and men's group think I'm alright!
OK, well, it is the time for me to #die now. Fuck #Heaven, fuck #WhiteJesus, fuck #politicians, the #rich and their lackeys the #police & #military, fuck my #priest, and fuck all of my self-help and other educative #preachers and #gurus, and then fuck everyone else who I #blame for my dreadfully #unfulfilling, #unhelpful, #disempowered and #mediocre #white existence
If only I had cared a little less for my own #comfort and a little more for people around me, then maybe I would have become an #anarchist. Alas, it's too late now, my ergonomically certified office chair has ground my #balls into dust
Please send me straight to #Hell because, in all #honesty, it's what we all know I deserve

I would love to explore therapy and cultivate a relationship with the 'right' therapist. But I can't imagine doing this with someone who isn't anti-capitalist, or someone without a critical analysis of power.
Is there some branch (field? type? practice?) of therapists that might attract such folks? Is there some "tell" or jargon that might tip me off? Is there anything to help me narrow down the possibilities... or at least remove the no-ways?
Is this asking too much? Does capital "P" Psychology have too much "individualism" at its professional roots and thus select out the radicals?
I mean if my therapist doesn't grok the "It's Not Monday You Hate, It's Capitalism" meme, how are we ever going to talk about my moods

I have when I have two no-shows in a row. I sit down, ready to work, I log in, I wait, no one shows up, I text them, then eventually, I close the call. Then I kill 50 minutes, but I'm still watching the clock, trying not to get pulled into anything new. Then the next hour comes. I sit down, ready to work, I log in, I wait, no one shows up, I text them, then eventually, I close the call. #Therapist 😞
