My favorite thing on Facebook is when a corporate sponsored account for a longstanding piece of media like The Muppets makes a post that’s just innocuous enough like Gonzo being stretched from Muppet Treasure Island with the caption “have a nice loooong weekend!” and then you go to the comments and there’s an older person with a profile picture of them grimacing on a patio with their comment saying
“Muppets, I don’t like what you’ve been doing these last few years. You’ve gotten too dirty. I saw an episode of that ABC show and I was disgusted! You need to get back to your roots and get Jim Henson to make another variety show! You have millions of fans who would watch this! I know it would be a good idea and I hope you take my advice. I like Miss Piggy”
when people are like “the hunger games just stole the plot of battle royale” like listen everything steals from the plot of everything the lion king is just furry hamlet westworld is jurassic park but sexier lost is edgy gilligan’s island there are no original stories and the only good piece of media is jennifer’s body
Michael crichton wrote westworld and jurassic park tho so he just pirated himself
michael crichton keeps TRYING to tell y’all about the evils of capitalism impeding on the progress of science when will y’all LISTEN
Maybe he just doesn’t like theme parks
michael crichton in line for a roller coaster at six flags: fuck this
I love having a therapist who is also a millennial because we communicate so fucking well like today she called something “so meta” like folks if you’re considering going to therapy I highly recommend the training clinic at your nearest university because those grad students have been the best therapist I’ve ever had and they always have a sliding pay scale and I literally pay nothing because I make less than 10,000 a year and get fantastic mental health care
As a millennial grad student therapist, I wish more people knew that free or low-cost, up-to-date treatment from closely supervised, highly motivated individuals may be readily available to them. If you’re looking for a training clinic, this website is a good place to start, but also googling “[your city] psychology training clinic” or “psychology training clinic near me” works. Any university with graduate programs in clinical or counseling psychology should have an associated clinic, often separate from their on-campus health/counseling centers (which are another good, typically free resource for anyone enrolled there).
It’s important to note that student therapists will usually leave after a year or so to continue their training at other sites, which can be difficult for individuals looking for long-term treatment. But if you’re in need of something shorter-term (which most of the empirically supported treatments for problems with mood, anxiety, phobias, and substance use are designed to be), or if you just want someone to talk to during a difficult time, your local training clinic might be just the thing!
If you’re in the Bay area and you can manage it, check out CHAC in Mountain View. It’s a community health center that provides therapy services, one on one with training or skilled therapists based on what you can afford and are comfortable with, and subject based group therapy, for adults and children alike. They’re familiar and comfortable with LGBT+ individuals and they’re all really. REALLY. Nice
^^This. Also, they work with staff at the university, too. You don’t have to be a student to visit with one.
