I know this is true in Minnesota: if you’re a young adult on your parents medical insurance & hesitate to get gender care bc you don’t want policy holder to know, call customer service (on back of your insurance card) & ask how they can keep your EOBs private. It’s a technology issue, not a medical privacy one. This has made the difference between getting HRT & not for many people.

Why are we calling them shitposts and not pooptoots

@Irreverent_T I highly recommend this gem from DEVO:

I need more irreverent and angsty holiday music. I have Dr. Demento and Venus Envy holiday albums. I have some great Blues songs. What other songs should I add to my playlist? #christmasmusic #holidaysongs #joinin

If your family is unsupportive I’d like to volunteer to be your substitute mom.

Put on a jacket, it’s cold outside.
Brush your teeth.
Are you hungry? I’ll make you something.

Holy Moly! This is incredible, hopefully the House will take it up next! This is a bipartisan bill that would increase access to care for Medicare recipients by adding LCPCs and LMFTs as additional mental health providers! Currently only LCSWs and Psychologists can provide services. Whoot! #Medicare #MentalHealth #Advocacy #Counelors #Marriage&FamilyCounselors #ACA

Sometimes you change someone's life because of extensive training and and degrees, a deep sense of justice and compassion, and a validating mindset. Sometimes you change someone's life because you have an iPhone charger. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Happy Coping Plan Season to all who celebrate! #therapisttwitter

Being a therapist has ruined romantic movies.

What normal people see: romance, love, happiness

What I see: dysfunction, trauma-bonding, problematic communication habits

New productivity app just dropped (I cannot leave my desk)

For everyone joining the #fediverse in this next wave of the #TwitterMigration, here are a few of my favorite #feditips:

- #Hashtags are a must! Use them and follow the ones that interest you.
- #Follow lots of people, then trim back if you need to.
- #ContentWarnings are a kindness, but how/when you use them is up to you.
- Use #filters to make your feed/life better.
- Everyone here loves an #introduction post.
- #Favorite = You like the post.
- #Boost = Others should also see the post.

Getting suspended is a much more meaningful badge than a dollar store blue check

I'm just watching the rise of fascism and doing my documentation. #therapisthumor #therapist #socialwork #counseling #psychology

I'm stuck somewhere between "I'm still using Twitter, but also have a Mastadon profile I forget about, and probably need to stop using digital social media altogether because I have a ton of crap to do."

Which causes a severe case of "bleh."

🤷🏿‍♂️

@siderea well...

I cannot live up to this amount of hype.
