Cognitive Distortions

My therapist has assigned me an exercise. I have to read a breakdown on cognitive distortions that she provided me, and consider them, mull them over, see what thoughts they bring up for me. I, however, must not try to SOLVE, RESOLVE, RESEARCH, HEAL, and most importantly, I must not engage in negative self-talk or cognitions as a result of what comes up for me. Hmm, this is a fairly new therapeutic relationship but she's wasting no time digging into the childhood trauma crates. Asking me not to research and attempt to MacGyver a data and feelings based solution is quite easy for you to say, Madam! Types of Cognitive Distortions (Source: Therapist Aid LLC 2012) Magnification and Minimization Mind Reading Catastrophizing Fortune Telling Overgeneralization Emotional Reading Magical Thinking Disqualifying the Positive Personalization "Should" Statements Jumping to Conclusions All-or-Nothing Thinking Umm, this handout needs to mind its business. I don't know you like that.

So yeah, it could've just called me by my name. I am guilty of each and every one of those distortions. They're a way of life over here. How else would I function? Those bitches roll with me all day, every day. They have always kept me protected. They were all I had and they worked a lot of the time. Cognitive distortions outchea like... "Uh, uh... not her! Not today!"

But I also know they have fueled my fears. They've made me distrustful, anxious, and scared of real joy. They have held me back from experiencing all of my real passions and desires. They are always whispering... "You're not enough. You'll never be enough." Ah, there I go thinking again... That's enough of that for today.

Llama roundup

Just some short highlights of wild crap being flung about recently.

NY Mag financial journalist scammed out of $50K.

I will start off by saying that it's a lot easier than you think to fall for scams. HOWEVER. If someone claiming to be a CIA agent tells you to put $50K in cash into a goddamn shoebox for an in-person handoff or you'll be arrested for crimes, you should maybe question the validity of that.

Air Canada is, in fact, responsible for the actions of its lying liar of a chatbot.

C'mon, guys. If you're determined to make "AI" a thing then you have to accept responsibility for any bullshit the "AI" produces. If nothing else, maybe have some sympathy for the guy grieving over the death of his grandmother who believed your bot (with your name on it) when it said he could file for a bereavement discount retroactively.

RE/MAX? More like RE/MAGA

A racist sack of shit real estate agent took umbrage with Imani Gandy (aka angryblackwoman) and tried to sic the MAGA horde on her by flooding the CO Bar Association with complaints to get her disbarred. Except Imani isn't licensed there. Or anywhere. And when Imani complained to the RE agency that the racist works for they got just as angry and defensive as the racist herself. "We don't hire racists!" Yeah? Have you seen her twitter feed? Oh, right, she put it on lockdown after everything blew up. Too late to avoid screencaps though.

There is also new drama about the Depp/Heard case with Elaine Bredehoft taking to Vice TV to blame Depp fans for her/Amber's loss. This is being treated exactly as you'd expect.

Also some Twitcher called Vaush is facing heat for his intimate interests. The P-word is being used a lot, as it always is these days. Opinions are varying widely on whether or not anime/loli counts. There's also the matter of the horse-fucking fantasy.

Anyway, that's the roundup so far.

The Blatant Caucasity of It All

Do me a favor. The next time someone tries to tell you that racism is a problem that is relegated to only certain areas of the country and that they’re mostly below the Mason-Dixon Line, point them in the direction of this post. You would think a largely Democrat state like New Jersey would be chock-full of progressive people with progressive ideas and would patently reject anything that looks like even covert racism. But if you think that, you would be wrong. I spent most of my life in Jersey, and any black person who has spent any degree of time living in the state can tell you that racism is alive and well there. I think there’s an incorrect notion, particularly among the white population, that any instances of bigotry and oppression are few and far between. And those people are living in a bubble of denial, and they need to branch out. Ask any black person in Jersey, and they can quickly tell you which cities and towns black people would be crazy to move to because it is so clear that we are not wanted there. They can tell you which towns not to drive through, because the police will be quick to pull you over when you have literally done nothing anybody else on the road isn’t doing as they zoom past you while you’re stopped. And they can tell you that a middle-class black neighborhood in any city or town will always have houses which are valued lower than a comparable white neighborhood in the same city or town. To put it quite simply, it’s really bad, and what’s worse is that white people don’t want to talk about it. What’s more, they get angry if you try to bring it up. And if you need proof of that, check out almost any article on NJ.com, and you will see the vitriol that spews so freely from people who are so unashamed that they post comments under their REAL NAMES. Any article is an opportunity to bash black people, and those comments are often rewarded with a string of likes and agreeing sentiments. It’s disgusting and the reason why I stopped going to the site even before I moved out of the state. But for the sake of the edification for those who might have been unaware, take a look at just a few of the racist comments that were posted in response to an article detailing the impact of covid-19 in NJ’s largest city. And tell me if you notice a theme. (Hint: You should notice a theme.)

And upon seeing this, I began to get an eerie sense of déjà vu, like “Where have I heard these sentiments before?? They sound so familiar!” And then it totally hit me. Click on the link below to check out a short clip taken from the documentary series Eyes On The Prize which chronicles the Civil Rights Movement. Keep in mind that the news footage shown is from 1955.

Clip from Awakenings 1954-1956

Everyone who keeps hurling insults at “the media” for dividing us when it comes to issues of race, this is what you sound like. Ver-friggin-batim. Y’all act like oppression against black folks is only something one can witness “in the media”. And you know what that tells me? It tells me that many of you don’t live near black people, don’t befriend black people, and your kids don’t have any black friends, either which, incidentally, are all symptoms of these issues of race that we are trying to address. But by all means, keep yelling nonsensically at “the media” for racial division. Cuz that’s totally gonna help. And then you can retreat back to your white bubble of a neighborhood, of which you’ve probably not once stopped to think about why no black people live there. I’ll give you a hint: It’s not because none of us can afford it.

My overarching point is that, if America is ever going to successfully tackle its egregious history of racism and how the systems by which it currently runs are still reinforcing that racism, we ALL need to acknowledge there’s a problem. And white folks, if black folks are telling you that it’s a problem, then it’s a problem, and it is NEVER your place to tell us we are delusional just because you claim to have never seen it yourself. Because you have seen it; you just didn’t know what it was or how to parcel out what about the situation reeks of racism. And that’s not terribly surprising because, since it doesn’t directly bother you, why would you feel compelled to notice? And I don’t say that to insult you but rather to point out that you don’t get to argue, insist, and invalidate the black experience by denying racism is a real thing, because you don’t know how to identify it. So, maybe be a little more willing to listen to those who DO KNOW and not dismiss what is being said because it’s not what you want to hear. Because at the end of the day, the very fact that you are insisting racism isn’t a pervasive issue that needs to be addressed and are doing so by presenting the same exact arguments that were used to say the same exact thing over 60 years ago (arguments that didn’t stand to reason even then) means that it’s a problem, and petulantly complaining that you don’t want to hear about it will not solve it. Ever.

As a Scorpio woman, my temper can go from 0-100 real quick 🔥. Growing up I would throw temper tantrums, break, or kick whatever I could get my hands on to release my emotions when things didn’t go my way. When my boyfriends disrespected me, I would let my emotions go wild. I was a REACTOR not a THINKER. - It wasn’t until my freshman year of college (cussed out a professor) that I realized my mouth could bring success or ruin my life. Instead of busting into her office and popping off at the mouth like a bird I could’ve handled the situation like a classy young lady. I vaguely remember our conversation, but she taught me an important life lesson: Control Your Emotions. - Thank God that temper tantrum didn’t ruin our relationship, but I’m not too sure if I could say the same for Arrogant Tae’s relationship with Nicki Minaj after his wig tantrum 😒. What you feel is real so allow yourself to go through the motions. Here’s 3 quick tips you can learn how to control your emotions in a healthy and mature way. - #feminine #feminineenergy #femininestyle #femininepower #femininity #blackfemininity #blackwomen #classy #classywomen #highvaluewoman #highvalue #angryblackwoman #unladylike #grownwomanshit #divinefeminine #divinefeminineenergy #goddessenergy #goddess #blackselflove #hypergamy #levelup #selfgrowth #selfdevelopment #selfgrowthjourney #selflovejourney #feminineawakening #maturewoman #levelupjourney #controlyouremotions #controlyourself https://www.instagram.com/p/CDlqsD1JWB3/?igshid=rhy3gn70dnip

Black TV Producer: Shonda Rhimes

What if Viola Davis and Kerry Washington switched places in How to Get Away with Murder (HTGAWM) and in Scandal? The show Scandal didn’t do as great as HTGAWM... I am curious why? I feel like the targeted audience could have played a role because as I began watching these two shows - I’m deeper into Scandal - all I could think was who are the targeted audiences for these shows? Of course, a lighter black woman, Olivia Pope would be cast as the main lead because the show just wouldn’t be fine with a woman with more melanin. I am not saying it’s bad but I do think there would have been a different outcome of the show. Black and White people can look at Olivia and be like damn she’s hot playing the role of a presidential mistress... BUT! I think the show would have lost viewers had a woman like Viola Davis... maybe even Gabriella Union (only bc she looks young and fine) played the role it would have been a different story. It’s important to know your audience is all I'm saying, and it’s just intriguing to me to consider these things. Next, I wanted to bring up the Jezebel role Kerry Washington is playing... it’s making me feel some type of way (upset). Because in Black TV/Film we see a lot of stereotypes of women. Jezebel being the top, followed by the Angry Black Woman and the Strong Black Woman Persona, I guess I could save those for another day to discuss.

#Melanin out here glowing in my favourite black denim vest for #BlackoutDay. Did you hear? We have reached our #PeakBlackness thus far. It’s a terrifying and beautiful time to be alive. We have representation in characters, pop culture, and literature. I see people like myself on screen, I see strength without necessarily being the #angryblackwoman, people able to take up space in a magnitude unlike ever before — we’re looking our most royal, winning awards, shedding tears and cheering each other on. We are our fiercest yet our most exposed. Our most vulnerable. There are people out there who think so little of us when we have come so far. It’s even more crucial right now that we look after each other and support every human in our community. We are all fighting the fight and creating to cope. Don’t forget to check in on each other and keep an eye out for the signs that someone is hurting. We must thrive and follow through with our goals together. • { Image Description: Your favourite glowing #nonbinary green friend with green af eyebrows+afro only wearing geometric gold hoops and their favourite faded black vest with Bliss embroidered in a gold script. The vest features their mother’s pin of the fabulous Prince (🙌🏾✨), pins that say “nonbinary”, “please use they/them pronouns”, an askew “queer” label, a bunny wearing round sunglasses, a white kitty hanging off the pocket, a tiny tombstone that says “I’m fine”, and black muthafuckin power fist pin ✊🏾✨ With their #melaninpoppin, they are standing in front of a growing palm, its leaves casting shadows over their being as they face toward the camera waiting for what is coming next. }

@kaepernick7 Black women, and yes I’m speaking for all of us, DO NOT want to be the face of your movement. Put a man on the cover. Heck, put YOURSELF on the cover. I’m sick of being expected to be a “strong black woman” and fight battles alongside men. No. I AM NOT A STRONG BLACK WOMAN. Black men can handle this without using us as human shields and work mules. Heck, even the freaking insurrectioners left their wives at home! But black women are constantly expected to fight on the front lines for social issues. Our own men do not seem to think we should be protected and safe while they handle these situations. (No I’m not agreeing with what happened on 1/6 don’t even start). 1) Stop expecting us to protest and put ourselves in the line of fire. 2) Stop using our image (especially that of dark skinned bw) to fuel the “angry black woman” stereotype. 3) What are people in high crime areas gonna do without police? Where are the criminals gonna go if prisons are closed? I agree that reform is needed but I’m over this narrative. #protectblackwomen #IamNOTastrongblackwoman #blackwomen #blacklivesmatter #colinkaepernick #feminineenergy #darkskin #darkskinnedwomen #divestedblackwoman #angryblackwoman https://www.instagram.com/p/CO50uOwJTK8/?igshid=1naohaj2dtg4a

What, Exactly, Have You Done to Help Build a Less Racist America?

So, here it is, the end of November. I think we can all agree that 2020 was not the year we wanted (although I might argue that it’s not all of us who didn’t deserve it). Yes, this year has been an absolute mess. But also, it’s not some grand accident that just happened to befall us. Everything that has transpired this year has been in the making for years, decades, centuries even.

We are getting rocked by Covid-19 because our healthcare system is so inadequate and predicated upon profit that it’s not at all set up to deal with this situation. Also, one of the things that’s always been held as a virtue in America is its citizens’ sense of individualism. Everyone is responsible for their own destiny and has the right to make any and every decision for themselves. That’s what we’ve told ourselves makes us a great nation. The problem with that is, in this pandemic scenario, many people then don’t feel obligated to withstand any kind of personal inconvenience to help keep others alive, even if those others are their own family members. We want what we want when we want it, and we won’t take “no” for answer. Unfortunately for us, pandemics aren’t really concerned with making sure Americans don’t have to play by the same rules the rest of the people on this planet do, and when viruses come to kill you, they will kill you if you don’t respond appropriately, and there’s no chapter in The Power of Positive Thinking that effectively helps you wish death away.

It’s an election year, which should’ve been a surprise to no one, especially not to those of us who have been counting down to this year since the 2016 Presidential Election. And let’s be real; this was an awful election year. Due to the realities (as opposed to promise) of living in a democratic republic, we really only have two viable political parties, and real talk, neither of them are meeting the needs of the people, and that’s definitely not new. The Democratic Party offered way too many candidates, especially when they had absolutely no intention of letting anyone but Biden secure the nomination. And it shouldn’t have surprised anyone that they did this. The Democrats have BEEN riding the wave of appealing to the idealistic and progressive portions of the population for votes and then once those votes are received, their focus is keeping their own jobs. And not even keeping their jobs for the sake of leading the nation and providing the people with what they need; they just want to keep their jobs. And Trump has spent a lifetime of telling half-truths and outright lies, so there was no scenario where he was going to abandon that to become a “respectable politician” this go-round. So, his entire campaign was propaganda nonsense, and because all of our mainstream news outlets are so concerned with ratings, they played and replayed and replayed every ridiculous thing he said, which was helpful to no one. Point being, the way our media corporations are cogs in the wheel of unfettered capitalism, that’s not new at all, either.

And then the #BlackLivesMatter Movement became a thing more than black people were talking about. And to be clear, the movement itself isn’t new and black people being murdered by police with astronomical frequency isn’t new, but apparently things don’t matter until white people care about them, so this became a huge “aha” moment for many of them. But again, all of this? Not new.

My point is that all of these things have been building for some time, and it’s unfortunate that they all decided to implode in the same year, but the implosions were inevitable. But when it comes to #BlackLivesMatter, it seemed like we had reached a crucial moment back in the spring. People saw that video of George Floyd and then heard about Ahmaud Arbury and Breonna Taylor, and there seemed to be an urgent desire to get some societal changes made which would include tackling racism. And a lot of people vowed that this time would be different. White allies were going to rise up in droves and be the ones to see to it that this world, in which their privilege serves to oppress others, was going to change. They said, “we’re going to have to be the ones to end racism, and we will.” And as I recall, black folks were optimistic but skeptical, and there was a sense that many allies were basing their allegiance in their need to make themselves feel better instead of a need to see the humanity of all respected. And to be fair, many of us black folks tried to warn them not to do this. “It’s not about your feelings,” we said. “Basing it on that alone isn’t sustainable,” we said. But allies assured us they were in it for the long haul this time and would prove it with their actions. And I, for one, was willing to see how that went. So, I offered resources where they were needed and provided perspective on some of the issues and then trusted that white people were doing the work. And this was a mistake. And I don’t think the failure of most white allies to actually do the work is the mark of people being malicious; I just think they got bored and were ready to move on. And I think they also saw that this wasn’t going to be as easy as getting everyone to “find common ground”. And as the work began to require them to do more than post a black square and say “black lives matter” out loud, that became too inconvenient and too uncomfortable.

So now, it’s November. And white allies, many of you were beside yourselves with shock to see Trump get so many votes, and it was nearly like 2016 all over again. But what exactly did you perceive had changed since May that would mean less voters would align themselves with the white supremacy antics of the Republican Party? How did you expect those votes to go from Republican to Democrat when you knew just from talking to your family that they had no intention of voting for Democrats? What exactly did you think had been accomplished in the struggle to fight racism? And what were the specific things you did in order to help make this happen? Here; I will list a few examples of action steps, and you can see which of them you did.

Have you read any books by black authors regarding the history of racism in this country and the ways in which we’ve fought against it in the past?

Have you read anything by black authors regarding the contemporary issues facing Black America like higher unemployment and prison rates and the wealth gap to learn more about the systemic reasons why these problems persist?

Have you watched any documentaries about Black History and/or contemporary black issues like Eyes on the Prize, I Am Not Your Negro, and Central Park 5 by Ken Burns?

Have you arrived at the conclusion that the version of American History you were taught is fraught with grandiose lies promoting white supremacy and basically ignores any black people of prominence who weren’t Dr. King or Rosa Parks?

Have you wondered why it’s those two people that have been chosen as our black heroes by mainstream white culture?

Have you realized that even the version of Dr. King and Rosa Parks that you were taught that painted them as passive and nonthreatening is wholly inaccurate?

Have you checked out any black entertainment that you might have never thought to notice before like:

TV shows such as Living Single (which was ripped off and reworked into the mega hit we know as Friends) and A Different World (which tackled many issues of its day including AIDS, bigotry, and date rape AND had such an impact on the black community that, during its original run, enrollment in HBCUs increased drastically)?

Famous playwrights like Lorraine Hansberry and August Wilson?

Famous authors like Colson Whitehead and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie?

Famous poets like Langston Hughes and Nikki Giovanni or even someone more up-and-coming and contemporary like Kai Davis?

Famous artists like Jacob Lawrence and Kehinde Wiley?

Famous musicians like John Coltrane, Earth Wind & Fire, A Tribe Called Quest, and Talib Kweli?

Famous films like Malcolm X, The Hate U Give, and BlacKkKlansman (none of which rely on the overly-played and inaccurate trope of the white savior who ends up diffusing hostile racial conflicts by merely learning to care)?

Have you had any meaningful conversation with friends and family in which you explained the basis and need for the BLM movement and why it’s not a political stance to say that black people should not have to still be fighting to be acknowledged and respected in 2020 AND have you done that without validating any of their bigotry and misconceptions with phrases like “Yes, I agree that both sides are the problem” or “Yes, it’s valid to feel that being pro-western culture does not necessarily mean being pro-white”?

Have you looked inward and really thought about the biases you harbor within yourself, where they came from, and what you can do to re-conceptualize these ideas?

Have you checked on your black friends in these past several months?

Have you realized that you don’t really have any black friends or that you don’t have any black neighbors or that there are no black kids that go to your kids’ schools and see how problematic ALL of those things are?

Have you been aware of all the terrible things that have happened since the death of George Floyd that have traumatized the black community such as the death of Quawan Charles and the fact that the grand jury convened in Kentucky was not even given the option to issue murder indictments against the police officers who shot and killed Breonna Taylor?

Have you been following any contemporary black activists like Shaun King, Tamika Mallory, Gary Chambers, and Stacey Abrams who have been doing the legwork of enfranchising black voters, leading protests, and using their voices to lead and denounce systemic racism?

Have you been willing to determine whether white fragility is something you might unknowingly harbor and resolve to change that?

Have you grown concerned that support for BLM has dwindled significantly between the end of May and now, and have you decided to do something about that?

Have you realized that, if you were shocked by how many people STILL voted for Trump in this election, that probably means you’re not as in tune with the prevalence of white supremacy in modern America as you thought you were?

Have you re-examined your base level of respect for the Republican Party after witnessing them spend the last couple of months trying to steal this election and how that was in direct response to the belief that they couldn’t allow too many black votes to be counted because they’d likely be against them, which is not at all the way of a democracy?

Have you maintained the same anger and determination to “be the change” that you felt when you watched that video of George Floyd having the life choked out of him?

Have you finally come to the conclusion that grounding your fire to combat racism in your feelings CANNOT be the way to move forward, because the second you feel better, your desire for change will wane, even if nothing has really improved?

How many of these things can you honestly say you’ve done? And I don’t ask that as some sort of indictment on your character or to shame you. I ask because I am being honest and realistic when I tell you that any plan you might have that does not include the majority if not all of these things is not a plan that will work. There are established methods for being effective allies; nobody is asking you to figure that out on your own. People have been working to secure the rights of the oppressed for centuries, and it’s pretty certain that you’re NOT going to invent some new way that gets the job done AND allows you the comfort you are used to. This can’t be like Covid-19 when many Americans assumed the rules of science don’t apply to them because they didn’t want them to. And you don’t get to sit on this until you feel like playing a more active role is convenient, because people are dying while you make your plans for the holidays. And maybe that’s a low blow, but I don’t know else to put it. Black people are not a cause you can keep putting on the back burner because you’re not ready to deal with it. And obviously no one has the power or ability to make you engage in ways in which you are not comfortable, but if that’s the case, then you need to own that. And stop acting like racism is some rare occurrence in America that is largely on the run. IT IS NOT. So, stop telling black people that lie, because none of us believe it, and it’s insulting to constantly be told that, anyway. You don’t have to be an ally, but you don’t get to opt out of being one and still claim to be a defender of all humanity. Either you are someone who believes something is wrong and you want to work to change it, or you are someone who doesn’t care. There is no middle ground, there are no further considerations to be made. It’s not hard to decide which of these people you are. So, which one are you and what are you going to do about it?

Do y’all remember when I shared this image a few weeks ago and how I raved about @northstarcafe? Well, that relationship has ended because they...#directorofoperations and #scottthemanager of the Clintonville location could care less about one with allergies. Long story short, we have been customers since day one and have spent a lot of money in this restaurant. Damon the operations manager just said to me and I’ll quote, “I appreciate you speaking rationally with me this morning.” What the hell? Did he think I would be the #angryblackwoman? I asked them for one thing. Just like most all other restaurants...add an allergy link to your app. No, they won’t do so. They don’t give a damn if we walk away. #ByeBye @phlex06 thanks for reminding me that Black people were already boycotting @northstarcafe. @iamquanhowell add this one to your list. BTW, Amanda the manager at the Westerville location is awesome. The owners need to hire more Amanda’s. Oh, when everything went down on Thursday, I refused to place on social media because I had been a customer since the beginning and knew things would be rectified professionally. I was wrong to think such. After today’s call with Damon, I decided to share my story publicly, especially after his comment of my being rational. 🤷🏽‍♀️ He even acknowledged the amount of money we have spent in the establishment. What I know. In the words of Maya Angelou, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” #restaurant #demandrespect #walkawayproudly #cbus #cbusfoodscene #cbuslife #cbusfoodie #foodallergies #byebye #share Note: At least Scott apologized for the way he handled the conversation on Thursday by placing a note in the bag. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHSzmwThfqq/?igshid=kj3g6094hh4x
