I don’t think people realize how hard it is for those struggling with their mental health or profound grief to engage in BASIC activities of daily living. If you’re struggling to shower, or get out of bed, I want you to know, you’re not broken. Do what you can, when you can, and let that be enough in that moment. XO, Dr. Jen

Anyone want to do a movie marathon next weekend?
The 80's is full of awesome action, brilliant horror and Sci-fi and amazing fantasy movies. If i had to choose the best of these, it's gotta be KRULL.

A look back at how Columbia Records introduced Head Hunters to the world in 1973. And over five decades later, the album still sounds as fresh and funky as ever. Listen here: lnk.to/HHHeadHunters 🎹

Today is a mathematical date we won't see again for 78 years. 10/24/26 10² + 24² = 26² It's called a Pythagorean Triple Day. There are infinitely many Pythagorean triples, but only 12 dates this century satisfy the equation.Today is the last. Next one: March 4, 2105.

Always polite to animals, inanimate objects, hallucinations, the voices in my head, and figments of my imagination. To people, not so much.
