1/4 I don't like to compartmentalize my life, so if you're following me you're going to see some of its various facets. This one's about religion: if that's not your thing I respect that, and hope you can scroll on without hard feelings.

I apparently I screwed up attaching a photo to this. I guess you can just imagine in your mind's eye a picture of a guy reading a copy of little blue paperback book that says "The Book of Mormon" on the front, you've got the gist. Apologies if you've got aphantasia, you're on your own.

3/4 Maybe you're already familiar. Or maybe you're thinking, "It's not my thing," and that's fine. But if you're thinking, "I always wondered what that was about" or "I used to have one, but tossed it," or even "What kind of kool-aid is this guy drinking?" and would like to know, I'll hook you up.

4/4 I promise to not get preachy about it or bug you about it further, unless you want me to. No strings attached. So let me know if you'd like a copy or have questions. I'm not interested in arguing or debating or anything like that. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

2/4 It's important for me to share the things that mean the most to me. One of those things for me is The Book of Mormon. I can say unequivocally that no other book has had an effect on my life and my relationship with Jesus more than this one.

A group of uncleared, unvetted, civilians have gained access to all of my federal records including military personnel, retirement and disability. They are reportedly feeding them into AI. I want them arrested and charged with federal crimes. Right fucking now! How is this even a discussion?

Our old (11) #dog Peach and our young (< 2) #cat Toad are such good partners. In the winter, Peach gets to sleep in the shop under a heat lamp on the couch, and Toad is a faithful companion every night. It warms my heart. #catsanddogs #pets

So I'm a 42/yo man who is going to be going to #therapy for the first time next week. I've been on meds (effexor xr 150mg) for a number of years for #depression and #anxiety but lately it's just not cutting it vis-a-vis prevailing feelings of worthlessness and dread. /1

So TL;DR: I guess if anybody reads this who's got experience in this realm and has got any words of reassurance or advice for a dude going to his first therapy session next week, I'd love to hear it. Thanks. /6

Anyway, I don't really know what I'm expecting blasting this out into the ether like this. I'm just a bit nervous about the whole thing. I chose a female therapist because I've always been more comfortable talking with women (I don't know why, maybe therapy can tell me, lol 😅) so there's that. /5

I've had a bit of passive suicidal #ideation (don't worry, I'm not in danger) which is new for me, though, which I just kind of accepted as normal, but my wife has convinced me to give counseling a try, because apparently the target amount of thoughts like that is actually supposed to be "zero." /4

It's getting to the season that's toughest for me (between Thanksgiving and New Years) but usually I'm not coming into it already feeling this depressed so I'm hoping I can do something to get it under control before then. /3

I've got an appointment with a #therapist next week but I'm honestly like *way* more nervous than is rational, since I'm generally pretty good about talking about my feelings. What is this going to be like? What can I expect in our first session? What kind of stuff should I/can I talk about? /2

I'm curious what other #Python coders do to manage helper functions and classes to reuse across various scripts and projects to avoid copy/pasting. For the last few years I've maintained my own package on PyPi (pypi.org/project/mmgu...) that I add as a project dependency. Are there other approaches?

And rounding out the other end of our #pets brigade, here's our #dog Princess Toadstool "Peach" Grover, or just Peach for short. We've had Peach since she was a puppy. She's an old lady now (11) and we couldn't imagine our life with her. Bonus photo of Peach and our #cat Toad cuddling together.

A rite of passage on any new platform is to share pet pictures. I'd never been much for #cats but we've had this guy for almost a year and a half now and I can't believe how much we love him. His name is Toad, or Jarnathan Thaddeus Toad Grover, Esq., if you want to be formal.
