In addition to eating regularly and sleeping adequately, I recommend walking 10,000 steps per day (ideally with direct sun exposure) and lifting several times a week. Hugging your child and spouse are awesome too. Plus Substack of course. That's all the therapy I need.
Whoa whoa whoa, washing?! Now you’ve gone too far; my traditional lifestyle will not yield to this hygiene theater!!! (It truly is astounding how much stable routines of what is now called “self care” matter).
"wholly incompatible with her values as well as the image she has of herself, and the older I get, the more it seems simply rude to put someone in that sort of position."

“Again we were too parochial, and were led to the false conclusion that knowledge-bearing entities can be physically identical to non-knowledge-bearing ones; and this in turn cast doubt on the fundamental status of knowledge. But now we have come almost full circle. We can see that the ancient idea that living matter has special physical properties was almost true: it is not living matter but knowledge-bearing matter that is physically special. Within one universe it looks irregular; across universes it has a regular structure, like a crystal in the multiverse.”
I can and will (and easily!) help preserve snd protect this highly accurate image. I read a claim once that knowledge-based phenomena would be more stably similar across the multiverse than random / non-knowledge based phenomena, so you kind of really might be?!
Love these shorts! The anthropomorphication of the organs could be a Pixar movie! The therapy takedown could be a Fox News show! Your father’s art could have its own Patreon! I love the richness you squeeze out of life in your writing. It makes every detail worth paying attention to.

A lot of what my psychiatrist pushed amounted to kinds of deprogramming (especially of eg Romanticism) + instilling a focus on those sorts of things!
Second that. Shaving and washing regularly too - pretty much there after doing that for a while imho - worked for me. Great piece. Thanks.
