My brain is so broken my first thought was “damn I need that in my collection”

Yo I learned so much about Kevin Max right after we published that episode lol

Which one?? Where?? How long did it take you to start breathing again???

Virgil learned all about masturbation from James Dobson today. Neither one of us are happy about it

JD Vance says James Dobson was "really influential" to him

As a former fundamentalist, there are so many more obviously demonic signs in the Trump-as-Jesus image than there ever were on a Monster can. And I wasn't allowed to bring a Monster can into the house.

New episode, old bullshit. We start revisiting The Strong-Willed Child, starting with Dobson’s god-forsaken VHS tapes. Get ready to hear a live audience laugh at awful things

I have a VCR hooked up to my computer (I have a USB converter for the red, yellow, and white cords). Then I use a program called OBS to play and record them on my computer.

It takes a little bit of knowledge to set up OBS, but once you do it’s pretty straight forward

A new habit of mine is digitizing VHS tapes while I write. It’s an… interesting way to measure time. Tonight, I’ve been writing for 4 tapes.

The stream ended (was lovely!) and then my nose started bleeding right away. That means something I’m sure

Livestream feat. Boyfriend tonight!

I’m sad I had to miss CLAW! I was working IPTC! I hope it was fab

Easter can be a weird time for exvangelicals. I will spend the day cleaning, smoking weed, and watching Steven Universe

I’m backstage at a fetish contest reading the Strongwilled Child, which is a sentence I don’t think has ever been said before

Brooke was literally giddy after recording this episode

Does smoking weed in a DARE shirt make me the coolest kid in high school? I should ask Harold Morris

it could be coincidence but dropping the “conversion therapy is legally protected speech” ruling on trans day of visibility sure feels like an intentional choice to me

Thank you!!

If a therapist’s primary concern is their speech being limited in the therapy room, that’s person is not a therapist. That room is not there for you to speak freely.

Big day for people who don’t understand therapy, law, gender identity, sexual orientation, and research. Lots of people badly trying to explain my job to me

Wow ok so you don’t understand anything at all

You’re incorrect my guy. There are many restrictions on my speech as a therapist - because this is a type of medicine delivered through speech. It is (and should be) regulated.

im celebrating a secret holiday called the trans day of invisibility. im in ur house right now and u can't see me

This is where Sotomayor's and Kagen's concurrence arguments fall apart completely, and they should have known that.

You’re very incorrect, telling a client to kill themselves is in fact quite illegal.

Also, we have other restrictions on our free speech. For instance, we have to report if a client is planning on harming someone (stemming from a court case known as Tarasoff)

And the idea that conversion therapy is a valid but controversial viewpoint, when it’s nothing of the sort in the academic literature

No

No

Supreme Court legalized conversion therapy for kids because it’s “free speech” as if therapists don’t have tons of restriction on our speech already. For instance, I can’t tell a client to kill themselves - a comparison that’s pretty close to conversion therapy tbh
