  1. We went out to a baby gym class but she kept putting her head down. I asked her what she needed and she said she wanted to go home. I asked what would help her feel better and she said cranberries. So we left early. Got cranberries. My daughter’s first mental health day.
    690 871
  2. Please learn from my mistakes. A patient told me he was being discharged and I said, “Oh get to go home?” He said, “No. I don’t have one.” He said he was getting a ride soon and I said, “Oh from friend or family?” He said, “The bus.” It was a good, visit but I presumed too much. I felt terrible. I’m normally much more sensitive than this. But I continually realize my privilege and presumptions can be harmful even when it’s not intentional. The patient was very gracious though he had right to be upset. Even years of doing this, I have so much room to grow. • A patient told me he was lonely and I said the old “You are not alone.” He told me “No, I am not just lonely. I outlived my family, including my children. I have no one.” He was objectively alone. I made a crucial mistake: I clichéd over his pain. Even when it’s true, there are times it can be harmful to say “You’re not alone”—as if that’s some new cure. What might have begun to help my patient is not to say a cliché he’s heard hundreds of times, but simply being with his loneliness. Ironically he may have felt less lone. • Sometimes I just don’t connect with my patients. I’ve learned: None of us are the right one for everyone all the time. Maybe I was the warm-up. Planted a seed, opened a door. Or I was wrong, and so I learn. Or my patient is in pain and it was never about me. • Most of the time, a mess-up is mine. I own it, I apologize, I make amends. All my defensive energy must be used to defend the wounded. Marching for justice does not make me immune to missteps. But my coworker told me something that saved me. After a patient berated me, I was sure it was my fault. My coworker said: Not everything is a teachable moment. I want to be teachable, but sometimes I learn it wasn’t on me. To be a chaplain means I enter with heart on the outside. When a visit goes bad, I take it personally. I always wonder what I could’ve done differently. But that assumes I’m the main character in that room. I’m not. I am passing by. A cameo. And I must not make their pain about me. There’s a lot I could do differently. Or—I could wait until the patient has had lunch.
    305 346
  3. Seven years later, I’m still here. Thousands of patients, hundreds of deaths, last words and squeezed hands, heart rates down to single digits, chronic pain and headline tragedies and final confessions—I have heard thousands of stories, and in some way have lived thousands of lifetimes. A chaplain is a grief catcher. • I’ve learned this. • It all goes fast. It’s not just that we are here for a short while, but we are paper lanterns and the fire is sudden. I know: not a new idea. But after a shift, when I get back online, back to the dinner table, back to a meeting, back to regular— there is a brief moment, right before I get pulled back into the illusion of forever, that I see the urgency of time. It’s never enough. • If you have heard the loud and long anguish of the bereaved, that wailing from the deep— it is impossible not to be for justice. For the wounded and vulnerable and weary and those shoved to the back row. In the middle of noise there are real voices in grief in need. The only theology and politics and philosophy that I care about is the type that cares. Everything else you can throw in the fire. • Sometimes I sit with my wife and I don’t say a word and we hold hands and I weep remembering them. • When I see my patients, I keep in mind I am a cameo. My goal is never to be a hero in their story, but only to help them be the hero in theirs. I am a cheerleader, a footnote. May I never be the center, not holding hands to lead them, but to be with them. I serve their stories. I am glad to be in their shadow. To hold their spotlight. To be their candle. I would do this again, a thousand lifetimes. To my patients, I hope I have honored you.

  1. Stop calling men simps for respecting women and being obsessed w us!! Like?? That’s literally what they’re supposed to do?? We gotta stop shaming dudes for being kind / respectful / submissive cuz I’m fucking tired of these neanderthals who haven’t evolved past “ME SMASH BIG ROCK!” Tbh sometimes I find myself subconsciously shaming men for those behaviors, and it’s definitely because of my internalized misogyny. It’s funny when people call guys simps because I obviously support bullying men! But, it actually only hurts women — calling men simps reinforces the idea that it’s emasculating to treat a woman well. Anyway, I think we need a pejorative term for NON-simps tbh so sound off below with your ideas!

  2. As some of you know, last year I wrote a thesis on psychiatric abuse against women of color in the 1960s-1970s. In writing it, I did a lot of research on the history of anti-Blackness within psychiatry and the ways it has impacted the diagnoses and treatments Black Americans have received over time. Racism has long been embedded within the discipline of psychiatry and still remains today. These slides contain only a small fraction of the structural injustices committed against Black Americans. I would recommend also doing your own in-depth research on the topic as there is much to learn about. I hope all my non-Black followers take the time to read through this information and remember the names of mentally ill Black Americans who were murdered by the police. #blacklivesmatter

  3. There is way too much stigma surrounding hitting curbs and scratching and denting your car. Bitches who hit curbs and scratch their cars on a daily basis are extremely sexy. We as a society need to normalize being hot but a bad driver. Also, IMO scratching your car is really cool. It’s like getting a tattoo. Free personalization of your vehicle! Tell me your dumbest driving mistake below so I can feel better about myself

  2. K2, I have been waiting for the right words but I don’t know if I will ever have them. You weren’t just my teammate, or friend, you were my brother. Your smile and energy was so contagious and you brought so much joy into every single room that you entered. All those talks for hours on the field after practice paid off brother, we made history, and I promise you we will make sure your legacy lives on. The memories we made will stay with me for the rest of my life ♾️. You were so loved, I just wish I could have told you it one more time. Get your rest brother, hold it down up there for me. I’ll see you soon. I LOVE YOU 2ski #dontplay #LLK2 #tunechi ❤️‍🔥🫂♾️💔
