From now through 2027, various lanes over the Ship Canal Bridge in Seattle will close, making an already-challenging traffic situation worse. WSDOT has encouraged travelers to Seattle, especially commuters, to consider using the bus instead of clogging the freeway with more cars. But that might be a hard sell. Perennial concerns about safety, reliability, and access have plagued King County Metro, and other transit options. And elsewhere in the city, Mayor Katie Wilson has called for a dedicated lane for the crosstown Route 8 bus. We're talking about it all, plus putting your questions (and complaints) to the general manager of King County Metro.

Young Bernie Sanders arrived in Vermont in 1964 as part of a counter-cultural wave. The tall Jewish kid with the thick Brooklyn accent who spoke of socialism and revolution fit right in with the communards and hippies, though he was neither. Sanders was then, as now, his own man, raging against the establishment while simultaneously seeking to lead it, albeit in a very different direction.As author Dan Chaisson writes, the story of Bernie Sanders is also the story of Vermont. “To see how Vermont changed, simply look at how Bernie's message, reiterated for fifty years, migrated from the fringe to the heart of Vermont's political discourse.”In the early days, Burlingtonians knew Bernie “as a perennial political loser” who typically garnered a slim percentage of the electorate in in the 1970s, recounted Chiasson. “But also he was just an indefatigable kind of force.”Dan Chaisson is a Burlington native and the author of five books of poetry. He is a professor of English and chair of the English department at Wellesley College. A longtime contributor to The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books, his new book is Bernie for Burlington: The Rise of the People's Politician. Chiasson weaves together his own story of growing up in hardscrabble Burlington in the 1970s with Sanders' own, whom he observed throughout his life go from gadfly to mayor, to the most influential progressive political figure in the country.Chaisson traces Sanders' politics to his experience growing up poor in Brooklyn “in an economy that was designed to kill" him and his family. "His mother died in her 40s of a congenital heart condition.”Sanders attended the University of Chicago where he participated in civil rights protests. “He thought that things like racial and other kinds of traumas in our country stemmed directly from economics,” said Chiasson. “Moving to Vermont was a way of thinking, could we start society over?”What explains Bernie's appeal to conservatives in areas like the Northeast Kingdom? Chaisson said that Sanders admired and channeled George Aiken, the Republican Vermont governor and senator who famously opposed the Vietnam War, declaring that the U.S. should “say we won and get out.” Aiken “had a sort of similar kind of flintiness to him, a similar kind of orneriness or cantankerousness,” Chaisson said.Sanders, a lifelong independent, has long reserved some of his harshest criticism for Democrats. “He feels that the Democrats are the party of the educated elite and he feels much more comfortable among working people.” When he disagrees with someone, Sanders “has a talent for steering the conversation away from those differences and towards places of common interest and common ground.”Asked what he thought the legacy of Sanders would be, Chaisson said, “Just the tenacity, the temerity, the moral vision that Sanders laid out.” He quoted former Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle, who described Sanders as “a moral visionary.”“Somebody with Bernie's fight in him and with his sense that there are right and wrong sides of the question morally when we engage with politics, that makes me feel pretty hopeful.”

Nothing fancy.  No high school superstars.  Just play hard every down.  Execute your plays better than the other guys.  Run each play with incredible attention to detail at your position. Indiana did just that in a season-opening win over Old Dominion on August 30.  The methodical Hoosiers left some big tractor trailer tire imprints on one football opponent after another this season. So it was eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin’ for the Indiana Hoosiers all the way to Miami, Florida for the 12-team College Football Playoffs season finale. Indiana delivered once again in Game #16 against a very talented group of Miami Hurricanes in the national championship game on Monday night. The unbeaten Indiana Hoosiers were matched against a physically larger and very resilient Miami Hurricanes team.  IU finally applied its patented sleeper hold with a late pass interception in the final minute to secure a 27-21 victory and the school’s first college football national title in 139 years. Indiana finished with the first 16-0 record in FBS history.  The Hoosiers subdued their three College Football Playoff match-ups by a cumulative score of 121-46. IU returned to Bloomington, Indiana with a championship trophy in hand to show to the school’s jubilant fans who – like so many – still can’t believe this just happened. If you liked exceptional defense, this game was definitely for you! By early in the fourth quarter, Indiana and Miami (which finished 13-3) each had been able to muster only 220 yards in total offense.  This often-times brutal defensive battle was anything but boring, though. The final quarter would produce the same number of points by both teams (24) as the amount scored in all three of the previous quarters.  Indiana led 17-7 as the final period began. The Hoosiers and their Heisman Trophy quarterback Fernando Mendoza were pushed around all night by a burly NFL-quality Miami defensive front. The Dolphins would be wise to sign a few of these college football warriors for their pro team this spring in the NFL draft. The Hurricanes marching band kept their relentless defense fired-up all night by playing the Star Wars’ “Darth Vader March” over and over. I almost expected to see a TV camera shot revealing Emperor Palpatine as Miami’s defensive coordinator.  The Canes put up a tremendous defensive effort against Indiana. But Indiana’s defense was up to the task in this championship game as well.  They swarmed to every tackle and shut-out Miami for the entire first half as Indiana took a 10-0 halftime advantage. The Hurricanes’ running game was nearly invisible for much of the night.  However, Miami’s Mark Fletcher, Jr. finally broke through the stubborn IU defensive line during the third quarter for a 57-yard score. That put the Canes on the scoreboard and narrowed Indiana’s lead to 10-7. The Hoosiers defense came to the rescue minutes later by blocking a Miami punt for a touchdown to restore a ten-point IU advantage at 17-7. Both teams’ offenses finally came alive in the final quarter Former Georgia quarterback Carson Beck finally located a few open receivers and quickly moved the Hurricanes down the field. A second Mark Fletcher, Jr. touchdown run cut Indiana’s lead to 17-14 on the very first play of the fourth quarter. The Hoosiers would answer that rally.  Indiana made this game even more exciting during a tense fourth quarter as they successfully completed two gutty fourth down calls. Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza surprised the Canes’ defense with a fourth down quarterback draw play.  He bounced off two different Miami tacklers en route to a 13-yard touchdown score. That gave IU a 24-14 lead with nine minutes to play. This game had become much like a very tense tennis match.  Back and forth they went during the final period.  Neither team gave up after the other team scored. Miami’s passing game responded once again.  Elusive running back Malachi Toney came alive with a couple of key pass receptions during the drive.  He raced through and around several IU defenders for a 22-yard score to cut Indiana’s lead to 24-21 with a little more than six minutes left. Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza then connected on a couple of clutch third down pass completions to move the Hoosiers down the field one more time. A well-conceived series of runs and passes for first downs helped IU eat-up precious minutes from the fourth quarter game clock. The Hoosiers opted to kick a 35-yard field goal to extend their lead to 27-21 with less than two minutes to go in the game.  Miami now had one final chance to win this game. The Hurricanes’ last offensive possession quickly advanced the ball all the way to midfield with under a minute to play.  A long pass downfield from quarterback Carson Beck was then intercepted by Indiana inside its ten yard line to seal the victory for the Hoosiers and sink Miami’s title hopes. That last minute pass interception by Indiana was the only turnover committed by either team in this year’s championship game. By the way, did someone steal the referees’ whistles at this football game? Millions of fans (like me) watching on television yelled, “Pass Interference!” or “Late hit – throw a flag!” at various points of this football game. Did the referees swallow their whistles during Monday’s game? Miami’s defensive backs were grabbing the uniforms, shoulder pads, arms, and hands of Indiana’s receivers all night long with only a few of the most obvious infractions penalized.  IU’s defense responded in kind by grabbing a few Miami receivers on some pass plays, too. At least two different Miami players should have been whistled for delivering late hits out-of-bounds in this game.  Another quite obvious targeting head shot was delivered by a Miami defensive player to Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Nary a tweet was heard. Miami (one of the most penalized teams in college football this season) was whistled for only seven penalties and 60 yards.  Indiana chalked-up just five penalties for 38 yards. Perhaps the title game’s referees may have carpooled to a local “Vision for Less” optometrist to be fitted for new glasses and forgot that this game was underway. Let’s give the officials credit for being consistent, though.  They allowed both teams get away with far too much in the title game.  Thankfully, no one appeared to be seriously injured during any of those plays. Regardless of the sport, games should be officiated in the same way as contests are called during the regular season.  This officiating crew stunk it up on Monday night. “Hoosiers II – The Football Edition” is likely going to be filmed soon That fantastic 1986 sports movie about a small Indiana high school basketball team winning the state championship may have been topped by the 16-0 national champion University of Indiana Hoosiers’ football team. Long-time assistant coach Curt Cignetti finally received his first head coaching job in 2011 at a Division II college in western Pennsylvania. He was age 50 at the time.  He quickly transformed that football team into a winner.  A move to North Carolina produced similar results for FCS member Elon University outside of Greensboro. Curt Cignetti then took over at James Madison University in northwestern Virginia.  He led the Dukes to a 52-9 record over his five seasons as the team’s head coach. Perennial football wallflower Indiana then picked this late-blooming coach-turned-miracle-worker in 2024.  In two seasons, IU has grown into a college football monster. Coach Curt Cignetti’s two seasons in Bloomington have produced a record of 27-2 with two College Football Playoff appearances. This was topped-off by Monday night’s well-deserved national championship earned by Indiana’s 16-0 team. What is 64-year old Curt Cignetti’s secret formula? Indiana had only eight players who were considered 4-star or 5-star athletes in high school.  Quarterback Fernando Mendoza was labeled as a “2-star” prospect coming out of a high school just a few miles from the University of Miami campus.  He wasn’t offered a scholarship by “The U” so he headed west to accept his only big-time offer to play at Cal. Mendoza would transfer to Indiana this season to team-up with his younger brother Alberto (also a quarterback).  The rest is now history. Coach Curt Cignetti assembled a group of talented underdogs who were willing to work harder and longer than players on most other teams. More importantly, the Hoosiers followed the directions of the Indiana coaching staff and became a model of precision execution on offense, defense, and special teams. This year’s Indiana squad performed together in unison like a championship basketball team.  Every player knew his role and executed flawlessly during most games.  The coaches smartly exploited the weaknesses seen in each week’s opponents.  The preparation and execution of the players and coaches helped this team to operate like a finely-tuned machine from week to week. Indiana’s offense played keep-away from the opposing defenses.  The Hoosiers dominated time of possession (including 36 minutes to 24 for Miami on Monday night). This team’s devastating blocking, power running game, and pinpoint short-to-intermediate passing game wore down opponents every week.  Winning the time of possession without committing turnovers helped lead Indiana to a national championship. Indiana won 16 straight games by repeating the same formula over and over again There was nothing fancy about Indiana’s football game plan.  They won every game by executing their plays better than the opposing team did. Coach Nick Saban won seven college football national championships (six at Alabama and his first at LSU).  Curt Cignetti had been a very successful assistant coach at Alabama under Coach Saban from 2007 through 2010.  Cignetti’s recruiting class of 2008 at Alabama would result in six NFL first round draft choices. Now that Indiana and its head coach have climbed to the top of the college football mountain, will the Hoosiers be able to remain there? Coach Saban (now a commentator for ESPN) said Monday before the title game that it will now become harder for Coach Cignetti to find new players with the same hunger to win as this year’s team. “Now everybody wants to come because of what your program can do for them (the top players),” said Saban.  “That dynamic changes everything dramatically – in terms of how you’ve got to motivate your players and how you put together your team.” Another factor in Indiana’s championship season was the character of the players.   Some of today’s NIL transfer “stars” may not fit-in with the selfless, team-oriented demands being made by Coach Curt Cignetti and his impressive coaching staff. Indiana’s precision style of football execution should keep the Hoosiers near the top for years to come. The team’s now-champion head football coach has often said, “If you keep your nose down and keep working, anything is possible!” Congratulations, Indiana!  The best team won.

The Story Science Forgot: Why Psychotherapy Needs Narrative More Than Ever by Joel Blackstock LICSW-S MSW PIP no. 4135C-S | Dec 15, 2025 | 0 comments Joseph Campbell is arguably one of the most influential intellectuals of the twentieth century. If you have watched a Marvel movie or read a modern fantasy novel or sat in a screenwriter's workshop you have encountered his fingerprints. George Lucas explicitly credited Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces as the structural backbone of Star Wars. Every major Hollywood studio has copies of his work floating around their development offices. Even filmmakers who actively deconstruct his monomyth model still have to be in conversation with Campbell to do so. You cannot escape him if you are telling stories in the Western tradition. But here is the thing about Joseph Campbell that we need to hold in our minds when we think about what psychology has become. He was a showman. He was a legitimate scholar but also someone who understood that the truth sometimes needs a little theatrical assistance. The Showman and the Bear Bones One of Campbell's favorite presentation techniques involved showing an image of ancient bear bones that were perhaps two million years old and discovered in a cave. The bones had been arranged in a particular way with pieces shoved back into the bear's mouth. Campbell would present this with his characteristic gravitas and explain that the ancients understood that nature must eat of itself. They knew that to take life is to participate in a cyclical loop of giving and receiving. The bear consuming itself was a ritual recognition that we are all food for something else. It is a beautiful interpretation. It is probably even partially true. We know through depth psychology and early anthropology that prehistoric humans were almost certainly trying to make meaning of existential realities. Ritual practices around death and consumption are well documented across cultures. Campbell was not fabricating this from nothing. But also come on Campbell. These are two million year old bones shoved in a hole. Maybe the jaw just collapsed that way. Maybe soil shifted. Maybe an animal disturbed them centuries after burial. He did not know. He could not know. And yet he presented it with the confidence of revealed truth. Here is why this matters. Campbell's influence is incalculable despite his methodological looseness. He told a story that resonated so deeply with something in the human psyche that it became the invisible architecture of our entire entertainment industry. He was not objectively right about those bear bones but he was pointing at something real about how humans make meaning. The story he told about that meaning making was more powerful than any peer reviewed paper could have been. We need to remember this when we think about psychotherapy and what it has become. The Dream I Had and the World I Found When I first entered the field of psychotherapy I had a fantasy. I thought I was going to be Joseph Campbell. I was going to find my way to someplace like Berkeley and immerse myself in the grand conversation between psychology and mythology and anthropology and philosophy. I imagined something like the Esalen Institute in the 1970s where Fritz Perls developed Gestalt therapy and where researchers and mystics and clinicians sat together in hot springs and argued about the nature of consciousness. Those places barely exist anymore. What I found instead was a competitive model built on H-indexes and impact factors. I found academic departments that had been siloed into increasingly narrow specializations. Each department defended its territorial boundaries against incursion from neighboring disciplines. The institute model where a psychologist might spend an afternoon talking to an anthropologist about ritual has been systematically dismantled. What we have instead are specialists who do not read outside their sub specialty and researchers whose entire careers depend on defending one narrow hypothesis. We have an incentive structure that actively punishes the kind of cross pollination that leads to genuine discovery. The Hollow Room: How the Biomedical Model Fails This is not just an academic inconvenience. It is a catastrophe for the human sciences and for the actual treatment of patients. There is a reason Freud stuck around. It is not because psychoanalysis was rigorously validated through randomized controlled trials. It is because as the science writer John Horgan observed old paradigms die only when better paradigms replace them. Freud lives on because science has not produced a theory of and therapy for the mind potent enough to render psychoanalysis obsolete once and for all. The biomedical model promised us a better story. It told us that humans are biological machines and that suffering is just a mechanical malfunction. It promised that if we could just find the right neurotransmitter or the right gene we could fix the machine. But look at what that looks like in practice. It looks like the 15 minute medication management appointment. A person comes in with their life falling apart. They are grieving a divorce or wrestling with the trauma of their childhood or facing a crisis of meaning. And the doctor looks at a checklist. They ask about sleep. They ask about appetite. They ask about energy levels. They treat the symptoms like check engine lights on a dashboard. They prescribe a pill to dim the lights and they send the person away. It looks like manualized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This is the gold standard of evidence based treatment. But in the vacuum of a manual it becomes absurd. A patient might be crying about the loss of a child and a therapist who is strictly adhering to the protocol has to redirect them to the agenda for Module 3 which is identifying cognitive distortions. The model has no room for the tragedy of the situation. It only has room for the erroneous thought that the patient is having about the tragedy. The result is that by most measures we are not actually helping people more effectively than we were fifty years ago. To understand the depth of this failure, we must look at the “smoking gun” of the psychiatric establishment: the STAR*D study. For nearly two decades, this massive, taxpayer-funded study was held up as the irrefutable proof that the “medication merry-go-round” worked. It cost $35 million and was cited thousands of times to justify the idea that if a patient didn't get better on one antidepressant, you simply switched them to another, and then another. The study claimed a “cumulative remission rate” of 67%. It told us that two-thirds of people would be cured if they just complied with the protocol. This was a lie built on methodological quicksand. A forensic re-analysis of the data (Pigott et al., 2023) revealed that the researchers had inflated their success rates through a series of stunning methodological sleights of hand. The original design called for the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) to be the primary outcome measure. But when that scale wasn't showing the numbers they wanted, investigators switched to a secondary, unblinded, self-report questionnaire (the QIDS-SR) which painted a rosier picture. Furthermore, the re-analysis exposed that hundreds of patients who dropped out due to side effects were excluded from the failure count, effectively scrubbing the negative data. Even worse, over 900 patients who didn't even meet the minimum severity for depression were included to boost the numbers. When the data was re-analyzed using the study's original criteria and including all participants, the cumulative remission rate plummeted from 67% to 35%. But the most damning statistic is the sustained recovery rate. Of the 4,041 patients who entered the trial, only a tiny fraction achieved remission and actually stayed well. When accounting for dropouts and relapses over the one-year follow-up period, a mere 108 patients achieved remission and stayed well without relapsing. That is a sustained recovery rate of 2.7%. If a heart surgery or cancer treatment had a failure rate of 97.3%, it would be abandoned. Yet, this study was championed by investigators with deep financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry, and the results were codified into clinical guidelines that still rule the profession today. This is the indictment: we have built an entire system of care on a statistical fabrication, prioritizing the protection of the model over the healing of the human. I have big problems with Freud. I have big problems with classical psychoanalysis. I am more of a Jungian. But here is what the depth psychologists understood that the biomedical model forgot. Humans are not just biological machines. We are meaning making creatures who navigate the world through story. When you take away our stories you do not make us more rational. You make us lost. The Flock of Dodos This separation of science from narrative has hurt the researchers too. In his book The Ghost Lab journalist Matt Hongoltz-Hetling uses the flock of dodos metaphor to describe this phenomenon. He argues that specialized creatures that are perfectly adapted to narrow environments become extinct when conditions change. Academic science has become a flock of dodos. A neuroscientist studies one particular brain region. A psychologist studies one particular therapeutic intervention. An anthropologist studies one particular culture. Nobody is allowed to step back and ask what all of this means together. When you silo information into separate academic disciplines instead of organizing it into a holistic understanding you kill the narratives that are already there. You cannot see the story until you step back far enough to recognize the pattern. Heidegger and the AI Bubble One of the primary functions of a subjective narrative in an objective field like psychotherapy is that it lets us start with things we consider self evident. These are things that do not need evidence because they are the ground upon which evidence stands. Things like humanity is important. Things like we contain multiplicities and conflicting parts. Things like consciousness is a mystery. The biomedical model has no way to accommodate these self evident truths because they are not measurable. You cannot run a randomized controlled trial on human dignity. Martin Heidegger understood this trajectory. He warned that science and technology were becoming self justifying systems that asked only whether something could be done and never whether it should be done. We are watching this play out right now with Large Language Models and Artificial Intelligence. The tech industry is boiling seawater and consuming enormous amounts of our remaining resources to build ever larger systems. As Ed Zitron has documented the current AI boom is likely a bubble that will crash and burn. It may leave us with a Google monopoly on Gemini that will not actually help anybody. Should we be doing this? Should we be fundamentally restructuring our economy around technology whose benefits are speculative at best? The Heideggerian answer is that we are not even capable of asking these questions properly because we have lost the narrative framework within which “should” makes sense. When everything is reduced to capability and efficiency the concept of values disappears. The Perennial and the Possible Can we just recognize that having a livable planet is probably a self evidencing goal? Can we recognize that having a psychotherapy willing to engage with perennial philosophy might be more valuable than another meta analysis demonstrating small effect sizes for manualized interventions? This is what I mean by reintroducing narrative. I do not mean replacing evidence with myth. I mean recognizing that the facts do not speak for themselves. Data requires interpretation. Interpretation requires a framework. And frameworks are stories about what matters. The story science forgot is the story of science itself. It is the story of how inquiry emerged from human communities trying to understand their world. We can recover this story. We can rebuild the connections that the academic silos have severed. The path is there. It always has been. We just need to be brave enough to walk it. The Exodus of the Sick If academic science has become a flock of dodos clinical practice has become something arguably worse. It has become a reenactment of the Milgram experiment where the system plays the role of the authority figure and the patient plays the victim. We often remember Stanley Milgram's famous 1961 study as a lesson about the capacity for evil but its deeper lesson was about the capacity for distance. When the subject had to physically touch the victim compliance with the order to harm them dropped to 30 percent. The White Coat only retained its authority when it created a buffer between the human actions and their consequences.   Modern psychotherapy has built a massive administrative White Coat that separates the healer from the healed. This is not just a metaphor. It is a structural reality that is actively driving patients out of the profession and into the arms of pseudoscience. The Bureaucracy as Trauma For a patient in crisis the Evidence Based system often functions as a machine of exclusion. A study on healthcare administrative burdens reveals that the psychological cost of navigating billing and insurance denials and intake forms acts as a friction that hits the most vulnerable the hardest. We ask trauma survivors to retell their stories to three different intake coordinators before they ever see a therapist. This process is itself retraumatizing. When they finally reach a provider they are often met with the biomedical gaze which is a checklist driven assessment that reduces their complex narrative of suffering to a code for billing. As the Australian Psychological Society has noted the chemical imbalance theory and the medicalization of distress have failed to reduce stigma and have instead left patients feeling defective and unheard. The result is a profound Low Trust environment. Theodore Porter in his book Trust in Numbers argues that we only rely on strict mechanical numbers when we do not trust people. We use the DSM and manualized protocols because insurers do not trust clinicians to judge and clinicians do not trust themselves to deviate. The Great Split: Why Research and Practice Are Divorcing This creates a fundamental schism that explains why the profession feels like it is cracking in half. On one side you have the academic researchers who are incentivized by grant funding and publication metrics. To get these rewards they must isolate variables and create reproducible manualized protocols. This means they must strip away the very thing that makes therapy work which is the messy and unrepeatable human relationship. On the other side you have the clinicians who are incentivized by patient outcomes. They are in the room with the messiness. They see that the manualized protocol fails the complex trauma patient so they improvise. They integrate. They use intuition. The academic looks at the clinician and sees a cowboy who ignores the data. The clinician looks at the academic and sees a bureaucrat who has never treated a suicidal patient. This is why the research is no longer informing the practice. We have created two different languages. The researcher speaks in p-values and population averages while the clinician speaks in case studies and individual breakthroughs. Why Pseudoscience Wins the Trust War This low trust environment creates a vacuum that wellness influencers are all too happy to fill. We often mock the public for turning to unverified supplements and TikTok diagnosticians and quantum mysticism. But we have to ask what these influencers are providing that we are not. They are providing narrative. They are providing connection. They are providing a. parasocial yes but still, High Trust experience. A recent analysis suggests that wellness fads thrive not because people are stupid but because the influencers offer a feeling of personal validation that the medical system denies. Even AI chatbots are now being described by users as more humane than doctors because the AI listens to the whole story without looking at a watch or a checklist. When a patient is told by a doctor that their pain is idiopathic or psychosomatic because it does not show up on a lab test and then an influencer tells them I see you and I believe you and here is a story about why this is happening the patient will choose the influencer every time. The trust gap drives them away from care that might actually help and toward solutions that feel good but do nothing. The Clinician's Moral Injury This leaves the ethical psychotherapist in a state of moral injury. We are forced to participate in a system that we know is alienating the very people we are trying to help. We are trained to value the therapeutic alliance or the bond of trust above all else yet we work in a system designed to sever it with paperwork and time limits and standardized protocols. We have to put down the White Coat of administrative distance. We have to stop hiding behind the Evidence Based label when that label is being used to deny the reality of the person in front of us. Proposals for a Unified Future If we want to stop this exodus and heal the split we need specific structural changes. We cannot just hope for better insurance reimbursement. We need to change what we consider valid science. First we must re-legitimize the systematic case study. For a century the detailed narrative of a single patient was the gold standard of learning. We replaced it with the aggregate data of the randomized controlled trial. We need to bring it back. We need journals that publish rigorous detailed accounts of what actually happens in the room when a patient gets better. Second we need to build open source repositories for clinical observation. Currently the wisdom of the field is locked behind for profit paywalls or lost in the private notes of isolated therapists. We need a Wikipedia of Clinical Practice where thousands of clinicians can document what they are seeing in real time. If ten thousand therapists report that somatic processing helps complex trauma that is a data set that rivals any RCT. Third we need to teach philosophy and narrative in graduate school again. We are training technicians when we should be training healers. A therapist who knows how to read a spreadsheet but does not know how to understand a story is useless to a human being in crisis. If we do not offer a therapy that is human and narrative and deeply relational we will continue to lose our patients to those who do even if what they are offering is a lie. The Mirror and the Map: Why Math is a Story We often treat mathematics as if it were the bedrock of reality itself. We act as though a p-value is a piece of the universe, like a rock or a proton. But we must remember that math is not the thing itself. It is a representation of the thing. It is a map, not the territory. It is a mirror, not the face. Theodore Porter's work in Trust in Numbers reminds us that we reach for these mirrors when we do not trust our own eyes. But the mirror is useless without someone to look into it and interpret the reflection. Data by itself is pointless. It is a pile of bricks without an architect. It requires interpretation to become meaning, and interpretation is fundamentally a narrative act. When we try our best to make a purely objective study, we are still telling a story. We are saying, “These numbers represent this phenomenon.” Then another researcher comes along, looks at the same numbers, and tells a different story: “No, they represent that.” This conflict isn't a failure of science; it is science. The Storytellers of Science The greatest breakthroughs in history did not come from people who just crunched numbers. They came from people who could see the story the numbers were trying to tell. These stories are really damn interesting, often stranger and more beautiful than fiction. Consider August Kekulé. He didn't discover the structure of the benzene molecule by staring at a spreadsheet. He discovered it by dreaming of a snake eating its own tail—the Ouroboros. His subjective, narrative brain provided the image that unlocked the objective chemical reality. The data was there, but it needed a myth to make it intelligible. Look at Quantum Physics. The raw math of quantum mechanics is cold and abstract. But when physicists like Erwin Schrödinger or Werner Heisenberg looked at that data, they saw a story about uncertainty, about cats that are both alive and dead, about a universe that only decides what it is when it is observed. They didn't just calculate; they interpreted. They told a story about reality that was so radical it changed how we understand existence. Even in psychology, the data of the “talking cure” was messy and anecdotal until Freud and Jung gave us the language of the Unconscious and the Archetype. Were they objectively “right” in every detail? No. But they gave us a framework—a story—that allowed us to navigate the chaos of the human mind. They provided the map that allowed us to enter the territory. The Final Integration We have spent the last fifty years trying to strip this storytelling capacity out of our profession in a misguided attempt to be taken seriously by the “hard” sciences. In doing so, we have thrown away our most powerful tool. The brain is a story-processing machine. To treat it with checklists and spreadsheets is to deny its fundamental nature. We need to be brave enough to pick up the mirror again. We need to be brave enough to look at the data—whether it's the 2.7% recovery rate of STAR*D or the trembling pupil of a trauma patient—and ask, “What is the story here?” The path forward isn't about choosing between science and narrative. It is about realizing that science is a narrative. It is the grandest, most complex, most rigorous story we have ever tried to tell. And it is time we started telling it properly again.   More @ https://gettherapybirmingham.com/

This week Michalina Hunter tells us how she got so interested in perennial vegetables that she started a seed company specializing in them, Cicada Seeds! In this interview with host April Parms Jones, we hear about the advantages of vegetables that you can plant once and harvest many times, including crops like skirret, spinach vine, perennial kale, perpetual leeks, perennial celery, sweet lettuce and more.They also talk about how to propagate perennial crops, since some of them involve techniques like cold stratification or vegetative propagation to get them going. Lastly, they discuss how to prepare ground for crops that are going to be there for the long haul, including the importance of soil health, and the participatory research project Michalina is starting to get feedback from growers on these perennial crops. Connect With Guest:Website: cicadaseeds.caInstagram: @cicadaseeds Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Rimol Greenhouse Systems designs and manufactures greenhouses that are built to be intensely rugged, reliably durable, and uniquely attractive – to meet all your growing needs.

Building an Edible Perennial Nursery with Nick Wren Nick Wren of Living Soil Tree Farms joins Jason to talk about the practical realities of starting and running an edible perennial nursery. Nick shares his journey from civil engineering to tree farming, explaining why he became passionate about native nut trees, fruit trees, and woody perennials.They cover the nuts and bolts of nursery operations, including seasonal rhythms throughout the year, the use of air-pruning beds for propagating seedlings, and the advantages of growing trees from seed versus grafted cultivars. Nick discusses the challenges of meeting market demand, balancing online shipping with local sales, and the economics of different scale operations.Key topics include strategies for protecting seeds from rodents, managing deer pressure, the role of composting and soil biology in tree health, and why greenhouse infrastructure is less critical for native tree production than many people assume. Nick makes a strong case for black walnuts, hazelnuts, and other underutilized native trees that could play a larger role in regional food systems.The episode also explores the broader philosophy behind small-scale tree nurseries, including the importance of preserving genetic diversity through seed saving, the potential for silvopasture systems, and how this work connects to building more resilient local food economies. Nick shares practical advice for anyone interested in starting their own nursery operation, from building air pruning boxes to grading and pricing trees. For those interested in edible landscaping, permaculture, or small-scale agriculture, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable knowledge about working with native and edible perennial plants.Connect with Nick:Website: livingsoiltreefarm.comYouTube: Living Soil Tree Farm

She is a student of Traditional Chinese Medicine and teaches live Qigong classes on her Substack “Gentle, gentle.”And KWD (they/she) who has been a sex worker their entire adult life, holding a variety of roles in the adult industry throughout their career, and an active advocate for LGBTQ+ and gender-based rights just as long. The flexibility of their work has allowed them to be a dedicated community organizer: distributing medical supplies and meals to working class comrades and unhoused neighbors. Joining with The Ishtar Collective in 2022 created a path beyond local efforts and into state legislative and cultural initiatives to humanize and decriminalize erotic laborers and their clients. She is passionate about inclusive community organizing and invites you to reach out by email to learn more and get involved! kwd@ishtarcollective.orgOur conversation serves as an introduction to the issues faced by and harm caused to sex workers by way of our current laws controlling their behavior and the behavior of their clients. KWD asks us to call Governor Hochul 1-518-474-8390 and ask that she sign the legislation that has passed both houses of our state government and is sitting somewhere in her office. This Immunity legislation - A.1029-B / S.3967-B -  is an "act to amend the penal law, in relation to individuals engaged in prostitution who are victims of or witnesses to a crime." Call today!They walk me through some of the prevailing topics related to sex work that are deserving of a deeper conversation - body autonomy, perceived victimhood, feminism, choice, censorship, religious freedom, and the need for full decriminalization as opposed to partial decriminalization.We get a peek into the personal talking to Mothh about her BEAUTIFUL book and what self care looks like for both of them.You can get a sneak peak into the magic happening on Nov. 14th by joining them for Tarte happening on Sunday November 9, Doors 4pm, show 5pm at C.

No-till gardening improves soil health and plant strength but brings new challenges with weed control Perennial weeds like bindweed and thistle need long-term strategies such as tarping to starve out their underground root systems Fast-growing annual weeds spread quickly by seed, making early removal essential to prevent future infestations Cover crops such as rye, oats, and wheat naturally block sunlight and suppress weeds while feeding your soil Mulching with straw, wood chips, or crop residue shields the soil, stops weed seeds from sprouting, and builds long-term fertility

Good things come in small packages. Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland chat all things small on this week's episode of The Growing Season.  Take the full-sized version of a large plant and miniaturize it and that's what we're talking about. The differences between full-sized, semi-dwarf and dwarf kick off the show. Espaliers are the first out of the gate. Squirrels and apple trees are a highlight. Baseball and apples.  What!?Blueberries have been tough for The Growing Season to grow.  Matt discusses. Shade/light conditions play a huge role in the success of plants. Sugar Maples and their smaller cousins become a topic of note.  Is there a "semi-dwarf" sugar maple? Hint, hint... The answer is yes. Imagine If You Will and Ghostbusters... The Ginkgo tops off the first half of the show. A globe blue spruce is the best way to spend $300 of your horticultural money. Matt HATES Forsythia and he tells you why. The 80's figure into the show and Matt relishes the use of 80's music to drive the point home. Hydrangeas have been miniaturized.  So have Smokebush - much to the happiness of many.  Perennial geraniums are some of the most well-behaved, contained little mounders in your garden. Yellow coneflowers are compared to Black Eyed Susans. DELPHINIUMS CAN GET REALLY BIG!Why plant miniatures!?

Send us a textIn this episode, Dan talks to Cory King of Side Project Brewing ahead of their 12 year anniversary. Cory talks about his journey in the beer world - from home brewing to being one of the first employees at Perennial to opening Side Project. He talks about his love for hospitality, the importance of charity, and why if you visit Side Project, you are likely to see him there. We discuss the impact of Untappd on the beer world, the secondary market, and the future of the craft beer world. Cory also shares the stories of how OWK and MJK came to be, why some recipes just don't turn out the same from location to location, and why despite brewing so many different styles, Side Project is still a sour brewery. He also talks about the two big releases for this year's anniversary including 12 Year - a massive barleywine blend that will be sure to go to the top of every craft beer nerd's most wanted list.

The local police followed up and found footprints from which they took casts.Miriam was recruited as a podcast guest at the recent event, Depicting Britain's Beasts, when she visited the Nature in Art specialist wildlife gallery. Poems from podcast listeners were published in a document for that event, and the document is now available as a pdf file on the BCC website here…      https://bigcatconversations.com/poetry/ Our second guest Gary Ridley is a long-term investigator in the county and runs the Surrey Panther Watch website. He takes us though some recent big incidents, including some credible footage which was scaled to suggest a black leopard size cat. Gary is keen to achieve more public awareness on the presence of big cats, and he feels that the risks to pet cats and dogs should be faced up to, so people know to take precautions if a big cat is believed to be around.    Word of the week:   fecundity24 September 2025 

What hath Athens to do with Jerusalem, Corinth with Philadelphia, or Ephesus with Ft. Lauderdale? Perennial questions these, no doubt, and it doesn't take a Tertullian to ask or answer them. Charles Sumner, Nathaniel "Crimson Digit" Hawthorne, James Fenimore Cooper, or Charles Francis Adams will do. Join the guys this week for the penultimate look at Carl Richard's taut, thrilling, barn-burner, as we peel back the layers on the relationship between Christianity and Classical culture at the apogee of the latter's popularity in those British castoffs, the former colonies. Does pagan morality dovetail nicely with the Christian faith, or is it sharply at odds? What of the antithesis between Christ's "love your enemies and pray for those who hate you", and the Homeric honor code of strict vengeance? Is this conflict real or imagined? And, just how much nudity is acceptable in statuary and painting, whether a Venus di Urbino, or George Washington, who, says Hawthorne, had so much gravitas that he was born clothed? All this and more, plus the usual servings of bad puns (not all Dave's, as it turns out). Don't miss this!

The audio version of the essay as read on the Binge Thinking newsletter

After Perennial is nearly shot from the sky, the team is shattered. Tuck has fallen in the struggle, Mia is taken, and the survivors are dragged to a faceless corporate compound. Hyde lies unconscious in a supposed hospital while Warp and Merit are locked away in the primary tower under the watch of Agent Kit, a sharp-eyed representative of the Program. As dawn breaks, Merit must confront their captors and convince them that only Perennial can stop whatever Tuck has become. A sudden explosion forces Perennial's survivors into action, and from the shadows, the malevolent enemy who has stalked them all arc finally makes her move.
