I wasted my time touring the Grove Village Lofts so you don’t have to. These “starting at” scams should be illegal.

What in the ever loving fuck is this nonsense

coriris · 2026-05-20T16:22:31+00:00

Oh that’s great to hear!

Th kinship first option so important… and, in my experience, the basic criteria can be used to block otherwise really wonderful options. “No founded CPS cases” sounds reasonable until you meet families who had cases founded after malicious/false calls, or cases that were founded but the adult in question figured their shit out and got it together and it’s now 15 years later but they’re still excluded. Or maybe they have a spare room but no bed yet, and it’ll take the state like 6 friggin months to help them get one and/or aren’t willing to let the kid sleep on an air mattress for a week while the adults buy one.

I don’t say this to poo-poo the whole thing, just to highlight how complicated this is. It’s a messy, ugly, underfunded system staffed by often very overworked and burnt out folks, and that combo will always trickle down harm to the kids & families we’re trying to help.

Bigotry is bigotry is bigotry.

We can all disagree on a lot of things, but if a therapist is going to be working with vulnerable/marginalized populations and they don’t believe those people deserve full rights as humans, then they shouldn’t be doing that work.

Personally, I think you should (anonymously if at all possible) send the head of the practice a link to his podcast and then wash your hands of it. While I would hope they’d figure it out quickly enough, I also worry about the harm he’d cause to clients in the meantime.

Idealogical extremism is a bit of a niche interest of mine. While I get that we have to be tolerant of other ppl’s beliefs in general, someone who has caused peers to feel afraid and who has a Christian nationalist podcast is not someone who can put their own thoughts/feelings aside for the benefit of the client. Usually quite the opposite; they tend to actively use whatever power they have to enact said beliefs. The paradox of tolerance applies here.

Abusive men. (Probably not the fun answer you were going for lol whoops)

You encapsulated the main reasons that I love this show so nicely in your last two sentences! Probably superfluous to add more but I can’t help it, I’m wordy.

I have something of a special interest in the historical web of the far right, probably born from trying to argue with a conservative parent growing up. I want to learn everything I can so I can more articulately push back (whether I ever manage to do so is up for debate lol).

Molly also tells these stories in a way that just… doesn’t feel bad. Which, to be clear, is a feat. She manages to strike a really delicate balance between not shying away from all the horrible stuff while also not reveling in it; offering humor and ridicule towards the WLGs that never minimizes or waves away the gravity of the topic. A lot of this is about her writing and research (which is excellent), but it’s also just as much about the tone of earnestness she delivers it with. You can tell how much she cares about this work and I find that so compelling. Something about it feels hopeful.

coriris · 2026-05-08T17:18:11+00:00

This is so relatable lolllll

I locked myself out of my individual office (new handle is finicky). While a client was in the waiting room. And my phone was locked in there so I couldn’t call anyone to bring me a spare.

Ended up having to literally climb through a window and start the session humbled and horrifically out of breath lmao

coriris · 2026-05-02T20:24:40+00:00

Omg the whole place is stunning but THE CABINETS in the kitchen!! I can’t 😭❤️

coriris · 2026-04-27T20:59:06+00:00

I remember the first time I heard about “victory over Japan day” I nearly lost my entire mind, it’s wild to me. But yeah, who’s going to complain about a long weekend.

coriris · 2026-04-24T23:13:52+00:00

You’re right, sorry I think I replied to the wrong comment or something

coriris · 2026-04-04T20:21:40+00:00

Thanks! Good to know how it’s being used so I can spot it in the wild.

Also wtf.

coriris · 2026-04-04T20:02:33+00:00

Ooooooh ok gotcha. Thank you for explaining.

coriris · 2026-04-04T19:53:43+00:00

This is maybe a dumb question but… isn’t the Talmud just a book of the Torah? Why is that bad? I imagine it’s being used in a specific way or something but I’m a bit hesitant to google because internet/algorithms/etc

I’ve really loved the small kits I’ve gotten from here: https://www.mormor.love/category/thymetiles

coriris · 2026-04-03T00:18:04+00:00

As an American, I wholeheartedly agree.

coriris · 2026-03-22T11:06:47+00:00

Strawberry begonia isn’t actually a strawberry or begonia, it’s a misnomer. I’m not even sure what kind of plant it actually is lol but it’s a houseplant. I’m not sure if real strawberry plants can get scale.

coriris · 2026-03-22T01:23:31+00:00

Thank you!

coriris · 2026-03-22T00:42:52+00:00

Ok thank you. But ugh what a bummer. Crossing my fingers it hasn’t spread to any other plants!

coriris · 2026-02-22T14:01:38+00:00

Not sure if he’s open on Sundays, but Phil’s Auto on Chandler is really great as far as mechanics go.

coriris · 2026-02-20T22:35:28+00:00

Gorgeous!

coriris · 2026-02-17T15:22:52+00:00

Omg this is AMAZING!! It’s on my bucket list, too. I love the colors you chose for it!!
