#I'm not saying their credentials are wack
Text
I swear, every time I go looking for a therapist, I inevitably run across the white women with varying permutations of "the Karen Haircut" with websites (and offices) covered in yin-yangs, buddhas, rock sculptures, and other Asian symbolism shit and I just... narrow my eyes.
It feels very much like some weird brand of Orientalism that's been co-opted for mental health purposes. It's all very off-putting, to me.
#haldie rambles#like it never fails#I'm not saying their credentials are wack#but I am saying that they come across a very particular way#I guess if they get the job done it doesn't matter in the end#but I just... it feels a lot like they're going “oooh aaah these mystical Eastern things will make you understand wellness woooo”

the worst part of my expanded reptile knowledge is going through reptile houses at accredited, otherwise genuinely excellent zoos, and seeing common pet species in subpar conditions ;-;
it’s just jarring to see huge, gorgeous enclosures for the big cats, immediately followed by a bearded dragon in a 20g and four (4) leopard geckos crammed into a single sand-filled hide
#hire me to renovate it! it'd be so good!#i have no credentials whatsoever but still!#their big herps actually all had huge beautiful exhibits as well it's just the little common ones that get the short stick#UGH#i'm half tempted to email them but like. what do you even say. wack
