We Just Played Uno: Thoughts On ChildΒ Therapy Recently, the various algorithms have shared some posts with me from therapists talking about their experiences using games in therapy and explaining to parents the therapeutic value of these games, even if they look like "just playing" on the surface. Since there is no such thing as an original thought, I figured it was fine to share my own experience as well.

My mom’s mom stayed at home with the kids, and my dad’s mom was an equal partner in all the businesses. She was the first woman in Minnesota to have a CDL. They told her a woman couldn’t pass the driving test and she got a perfect score. I get my energy from her.

My mom’s dad worked installing land lines and my dad’s dad built multiple successful businesses, but when I was born it was the two bus companies

I really want to reply, "I JUST told you not to email me anymore!!" but it's a no-reply address so I will just whine about it online

You all. I just unsubscribed from an email list and immediately got an email that said, "You unsubscribed! Please re-subscribe"

I am going to scream.

It was WebMD.

What’s the purpose of this scam, by the way? I can’t imagine wiring money to a book club. If you all want to read my book and talk about it, cool, go buy it πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Glad to know it’s not just me getting these! I suppose a benefit of writing niche non fiction is it’s really easy to sus out that your so called church group of retirees probably isn’t choosing therapy manuals to read casually

The APIC Internship MatchΒ Crisis The year was 2013, and I was a third-year graduate student who had just finished my dissertation. The only thing standing between me and graduation was a one-year clinical internship. But, thanks to an influx of accredited programs with questionable training outcomes, there were more graduate students applying to internships than ever before, and site availability was stagnant. It reached a point where there were three internship slots for every four graduate students applying, so it was entirely possible that you could be fully qualified and competent but not get a spot because not enough spots existed.

My understanding is they don’t have to be refrigerated in the sense that counter clementines won’t make you ill but why would you subject yourself to room temperature fruit when you can have chilled fruit?

It is truly amazing and tbh I regret not pressuring my husband more to get married there

You call this a mall? The food court only has five options! Where are the roller coasters? Where’s the aquarium? What do you mean there’s only one floor?!
