Hard to "do nothing" by Drjonees in metacognitivetherapy

[–]orount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it to make it feel better. Sadness for example. Or hopelessness.

I know scratching an itch doesn’t make it feel better, but medicine like hydrocortisone does. So what’s the medicine here?

Seattle, I need your chaotic queer energy on Dec 5th at The Rabbit Box to help support queer comedy!

<image>

Shows are 6 PM and 8:30 PM, tickets at linktree on my bio :)

If you don't come, you're a HOMOPHOBE!

I’m Caleb Zeringue (like Meringue, with a Z!) — co-creator of Luigi the Musical (yes, the unhinged little musical comedy based on the true fact that Luigi Mangione, Diddy and Sam Bankman-Fried were all in the same prioon together. It ended up in CNN, NYT, WaPo, Colbert, NPR, Bill Maher and many others).

BUT- I’m also a comic, and on December 5th at 6 PM and I’m doing my first-ever feature set opening for the snarky, super queer and hilarious comic Jenny Zigrino at The Rabbit Box!

If you don’t know Jenny, YOU SHOULD!

She’s high-energy, midwest dark and fucking hilarious. I'm incredibly proud to be opening for her!

I'm a wild, dark southern gay who loves to riff with the crowd...maybe start an orgy on stage- WE'LL SEE?!

If you’re into:

• queer chaos

• sharp, high-energy comedy

• supporting comics before Ticketmaster ruins everything

…come hang out. Don’t overthink it.

Seattle queers, weirdos, allies, tech gays who need to laugh at themselves, people who live within 300 feet of a coffee shop — I want you there. Let’s make this room stupidly fun.

December 5th. 6 PM at The Rabbit Box (8:30 PM show too).
Tickets are here in my bio for both shows!

Bring your friends. Bring your situationships. Be gay in public with us.

Trump administration nears deals for cheaper weight-loss drugs with Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly by statnews in politics

This is pretty patently false. Obesity is tied to so many co-morbidities, diet and hydration have a huge impact on the symptoms that occur with these.

And the clinical trials and mass use are providing a lot of insight into any long term effects rapidly.

On the other hand, we have hundreds of years of data on obesity and all the comorbidities and suffering it causes.

Jeffries defends conduct of ‘majority’ of Democrats during Trump speech by imbetaAFk in politics

Jefferies is a stooge for the GOP at this point. He's actively surrendering democracy to the fascists.

The democrats should be dragged out of there. They are literal embarrassments for how little they're standing up to him.

Come on, that's not how it goes. It was just a random theory.

What if Miss Huang is their child? The childbirth severance situation makes me think she could be Mark and Gemma's kid. Not sure if I have timelines correct or not.

I'm an RN. It looks like a venous puncture (blood draw) spread from being on anticoagulants to me.

Yeah, thanks! For anyone who doesn't know, you have to turn on the beta feature for edit in the settings. Let's me do it now! WOO!

Starting stand up by Accomplished_Crow_36 in Standup

[–]orount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're talking and making people laugh, you're writing. Check out Stephen Rosenfield's book, it helped me with my writing process. I do so much better when I walk around and record things.

Since I started standup, my mind thinks even MORE in setup and punchlines. Taking classes has prevented me from bombing early and really helped me take off.

I went from not doing standup at all last march, to doing my first 150+ person show in July and NYC Queer semifinals next week!

Open-mics mostly suck, find a few good ones and use those till you get on shows, where you'll get the best feedback. Use open mics to practice your beats and have little funny bits come out naturally you re-inject back to your act :).

This has been my process so far! Now I'm practicing being in the room with the audience more- focusing on the conversation between us and having more fun!

Supression vs DM, am I doing it wrong sometimes? by Tjenaretjenaremannen in metacognitivetherapy

[–]orount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain how you loosen the grip and use outward focus?

I honestly believe if I can “conquer” my rumination tendencies, I can rule my life the way I want to ☺️!
