is there something in the DSM for “physically cannot bear to witness a penalty shootout and must either leave the room or turn off the tv until it’s over” ?

Georgie decided that she lives on this stoop now which is lovely but awkward because I in no way live in the attached building.

I did lots of slow and patient sessions with Georgie trying to coax her into the backpack last summer and she absolutely refused and then this morning I just kind of jostled/lovingly shoved her in it and it was fine.

Is that an ikea bag? That was my fallback plan if she refused to get in the doggy backpack but surprisingly she went for it.

I think there is a pretty pronounced pattern of transphobia in particular leading to what I perceive as a pronounced decrease in one’s ability to make sense. Like, even on a syntactical level. I dunno exactly how to describe it but I think there is something there.

Has anyone written anything smart about what transphobia does to a person’s ability to reason? Its kind of interesting if one could look past the horror of the things like the fact that this person has the ear of the future prime minister etc etc

I don’t know why this is happening (insomnia) but all I can think about is macron sitting alone in a fancy room realizing that he’s only like 40 and still has to live in this country and he’s looks in a mirror wondering if his hairline is starting to recede and he just mutters “je l’ai fucké”
