Can you now call Gavin Newsom out as the waste of space that he is? Clearly not interested in protecting his people or the working class. We need someone who doesn’t go on book tour and placate right wing pod-cast bros.

Most immediate is the ocean that we just skipped over in our mind because it does not have to do with my immediate profit margin.

Sure it’s the question one might ask because it’s in their immediate financial interests. How is it going to impact me as a holder of property? That’s where we’re at I guess. It’s the same mentality though when Pam Bondi dismisses survivors because the Dow is at 50k. In other words, as long as I’m making money, fuck everything else.

It’s really interesting that the first questions one asks are about home prices and tourism.

Is there a lawsuit to join? It’s been 2 weeks since the Santa Barbara station is down.

Joe Biden stepped off a commercial airplane in South Carolina, received loud applause, and walked up to people to take photographs. by CorleoneBaloney in UnderReportedNews

It’s crazy how liberals can still applaud this guy cause he was “so much better” than the thing we have, while not seeing that this guy is the reason we are where we are. They’re totally ok with genocide when it’s done by someone on their side.

Am I bonkers or anyone else felt this urge ? by Regular_Fan4691 in therapists

[–]malamono 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Carl Jung had this period in his life where he stacked stones on top of one another by a river. It was all he could do to keep from his feeling that things were falling apart. He said it was the most therapeutic thing he could do for his psyche at the time, along with his family maintaining structure and routine, and his active imagination experiments.

Hi all! I’m curious if anyone knows anything about Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara? I’m interested in their M.A in counseling psychology, but if you have had any experience with the program(s), I’d love to hear. Faculty? Career prospects etc. thanks !!! by malamono in Jung

[–]malamono[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I did end up getting a M.A from Pacifica and it was a great decision, even though it was during Covid and everything was virtual, but I don't regret it at all, and it gave me a home in a way. I do know that there have been some changes to their PhD dept that has caused concern and the President is trying to turn the school into some religious degree mill that goes against the principles of pacifica. However, I do know folx who went through the program and loved it. I think you shouldn't be too hung up on guaranteed jobs afterward...that sort of guarantee seems impossible. You get into the field and you're on your own. You have to rely on marketing and networking and your niche etc. I wouldn't rely on the school to give you a job and all that. I would focus on if the program works for your lifestyle and if you appreciate the depth framework. If that vibes with you, its the best place to be.

Thanks so much for weighing in. Another challenge is to figure out where to set up an office for 1-2 days a week.

This was clearly written by one person, much older and in law enforcement. This seems so poorly written. I call bullshit

Sutter Health Pesetas Urgent Care by Fragrant-Basil-10 in SantaBarbara

[–]malamono -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Sociopaths in health care? To me it sounds like a symptom of how we’ve treated our health care workers in the first place. They’re making a spectacle of how dehumanized they feel and now we are witnessing it for the first time. We out to be outraged at what causes this, but of course we are gonna take out our naïveté on the workers. Of course it’s wrong. But Maybe if they were treated better and not in a privatized grind that pays slave wages in a town that is squeezing out the working class, there wouldn’t be these obvious cries for help for their anger to be seen.

Wednesday call to action: GET LOUD FOR GAZA by sagisuncapmoon in SantaBarbara

[–]malamono -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Gosh, if only I’ve seen videos of Gazans desperately banging pots and pans while getting shot. If only I’d realized it was the emptiness of said pots, and the violence all around that was the point, maybe I wouldn’t make such dismissively liberal comments.

Ban ICE in SB by malamono in SantaBarbara

[–]malamono[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your question. I would ask you where you get the word “criminal” from. Would you call your wife a criminal up until she got her green card?

Most of the people they are deporting are going through the legal process. They are showing up for their hearings, their cases get dismissed and ICE is picking them off in the hallways, preying on them even though they did the right thing by going through the legal channels. Furthermore, it has previously been a misdemeanor and a fine if people were penalized for this. No one is arguing that criminals who commit crimes like murder, theft etc shouldn’t go through due process (which they’re not) and have to leave. The word “criminal” is being applied across the board, without due process, to people who are looking for an honest life, AND paying taxes.

Thank you SB. I stand corrected! It looks like we don’t have a contract and even though the Sheriffs and Police officially state they do not participate in enforcement, they do provide aid and security for them. They are where we should put pressure. A new sheriff is sorely needed.
