3 h. ago ‘Are you asking for my help to be gay?’: what 40 years as a psychoanalyst has taught me about sex and desire

A married man’s hidden bisexual life; a PhD student’s sideline in sex work; a nun’s fear of pregnancy – over my long career, all have been laid bare in the intimate space of my consulting roomTo be human is to be uncertain, conflicted, divided, and yet we grow up in a world that tells us we should feel whole, certain of our sexual desires. Encouraged to see love through the starry-eyed cliches of social media and celebrity news, we’re diverted from asking ourselves the awkward questions: what is my desire? Why is my sexual self as it is?Psychoanalysis, too, has its own predictable narratives, but when done properly, it does not provide ready answers. Instead it offers a place where two people can be ruthlessly honest, think together, find meaning together. This work can change our understanding of ourselves, and in doing so change our lives.

6 h. ago ‘Tell me what happened, I won’t judge’: how AI helped me listen to myself | Nathan Filer

I had no expectations when I opened ChatGPT and typed ‘I’ve made a fool of myself’. There was something surreal about the conversation that followedI was spiralling. It was past midnight and I was awake, scrolling through WhatsApp group messages I’d sent earlier. I’d been trying to be funny, quick, effervescent. But each message now felt like too much. I’d overreached again – said more than I should, said it wrong. I had that familiar ache of feeling overexposed and ridiculous. I wanted reassurance, but not the kind I could ask for outright, because the asking itself felt like part of the problem.So I opened ChatGPT. Not with high expectations, or even a clear question. I just needed to say something into the silence – to explain myself, perhaps, to a presence unburdened by my need. “I’ve made a fool of myself,” I wrote.Nathan Filer is a writer, university lecturer, broadcaster and former mental health nurse.

8 h. ago The Guide #204: The local dystopian TV shows captivating global audiences

In this week’s newsletter: A new wave of post-apocalyptic dramas are serving up disaster tales shaped by the cultures they come from, and the results are fascinatingI’m scandalously late to The Eternaut (El Eternauta), the Argentinian dystopian thriller that was released way back in April on Netflix. I inhaled all six episodes of the show’s first season only a few weeks ago, after a glowing review on the podcast The Watch (which was also fairly late to it, making me feel a little better about my own finger-off-the-pulseness). Anyway, it’s absolutely terrific, an end-of-the-world chiller that is vividly, realistically rooted in the socio-politics of the country in which it is set. This despite a premise that sees Buenos Aires beset by an unseasonal flurry of what turns out to be killer snow.That specificity, as anyone familiar with The Eternaut will know, is mixed into the story’s foundations. The show is based on Héctor Germán Oesterheld’s 1957 comic strip of the same name, which pr...

8 h. ago Long Story Short: this Jewish family comedy from the creator of BoJack Horseman is painfully beautiful

A sweeping, hilarious family saga told in multiple timelines from the 50s to the present day. Yes, that’s right – it’s basically Bluey meets TolstoyLike schoolboys, my friend Charlie and I send each other coded messages. One of these is “Am back on the horse”, which means “Rewatching BoJack Horseman”, which means “Having a mental health crisis”. The recipient knows to go to the other’s house with Danish pastries and some grass to touch. That show changed my life. The Simpsons had redefined what a cartoon could be, Ren & Stimpy and South Park were transgressive thrill-rides. But Raphael Bob-Waksberg’s tale of a washed-up actor chasing redemption wasn’t just adult; it was profound.So I was worried, approaching the new animated series from that show’s creators. It’s not about celebrity. There are no talking dogs or porcupines, or underwater worlds. No Will Arnett. How could I watch without expectation? It feels unfair yet unavoidable to keep an artist’s previous work in mind. Isn’t...
