Who Needs a Therapist When (Pt. 4)
Me. I need a therapist. Thank you internet for being one. All tips will go to someday affording a real professional. So, I've been having a motivation problem. Like, every other morning I wake up with my bones full of lead. I can push through to go to work, but when I need to be working from home, or doing personal projects or pretty much any average day, the hopelessness saps at me and I find myself unable to even get out of bed.

He Says She Says
The human mind developed in a smaller, concrete world, where the 300 members of a tribe were the only people worth taking note of. Our mind evolved to keep track of complex relationships and emotions with all 300 of our friends. Yet, when confronted with a larger group, that evolution breaks down, and the mind is left to rely on pattern matching and us-vs.-them mindsets to navigate situations.

Who Needs a Therapist When (Pt. 2)
Me. I need a Therapist. Thank you internet for being one. All tips will go to someday affording a real professional. So I have sleep issues. Just not the sleep issues that any of my medical and therapy professionals have expected. I'd tell them I had nightmares and they would prescribe sleep aids and talk about insomnia solutions. Only, the nightmares never woke me up—if anything, they caused the opposite. I am, and have always been, a champion sleeper. Pretty much at will, I can sleep 10, 12, or even 14 hours. I can wake up in the morning, do necessary things like walk the dog or take the trash out, lay back in bed, and be asleep in minutes. I'm great at napping, and it takes a Herculean amount of anxiety and stress before it impacts my ability to fall asleep. Even then, a "sleepless" night is any night where I get less than six hours.

Who Needs a Therapist When
Me. I need a therapist. Thank you internet for being one. All tips will go to someday affording a real professional. So, I went off of my anti-depressant medication back in May. This wasn't me making poor life choices, but rather advised by my doctor. The point of it was to test for some underlying conditions that could be causing or interacting with my mental health issues. It was a hopeful step toward a better long-term solution.

Off with Their Heads
On the July 14, 1789, the peasants of France rioted, culminating into first the public death of their Governor Marquis, followed shortly by that of a local Mayor. Over the next month, the riots and attacks continued in what would later be called The Great Fear. Concessions were made, slowing the violence, but the continued failure of the French government in addressing the wants and needs of their populous meant that the next decade of their history would be shaped by this revolution.

Consenticles Gone Wild
After seven or eight drinks too many my friend is on the table. She isn't sober enough to dance, but she crawls across toward me. She's half-flashing most of the bar, but it is a quiet night, and maybe that's intentional. Especially since she is crawling across the table to plant a wet, sticky kiss on my mouth to the hoots and hollers of the men in the room. We make a show of the kiss, but to be honest, it isn't all for show. Everyone is having a good time as she moves to kiss more willing participants around the table, there are hoots and hollers.

Women Literally Only Want One Thing
I was 14 when I learned that boys' penises will fall off if they get close to orgasm and then don't ejaculate. I had been raised in a conservative community, the sort of place where even male masturbation was frowned upon, and the concept of blue balls was horrifying to me. If arousal was dangerous to men, I couldn't imagine why anyone would have sex.

Just Ask
Most women have experienced the fumbling, callous, bruising touch of an inexperienced man. It is often apparent long before any clothes come off: the tongue thrust down an unsuspecting throat, the grip of fingers on a tender waist, words that are growled right out of a porno script regardless of the earlier ordinary conversation. If a woman likes a guy enough, they might tolerate it in the hope of training the guy later. Otherwise, no one is leaving that situation happy.Yet, from everything that I have seen or heard from my long-time single male friends, they never mean to hurt or discomfort their partners. If anything, they desperately want to please their potential partner—if only just so that they can keep seeing that person.Despite that desire, men often mangle their first physical interaction wit. I don't think it is just a matter of getting carried away in their desire to be satisfied. Instead, I think that these men have a very confused idea of what is expected of them in a physical relationship.

Taking on the Tone Police
Every now and then a prominent Black celebrity will be banned from Twitter or some other platform for saying something incendiary about white privilege. In the wake of such, my liberal friends often speak up, proclaiming "I can't support hate, on any side, in any form;" or "it is never okay to stereotype an entire race;" or even "they can't expect to be taken seriously when they act like that."
