[ The video opens on a woman sitting in a chair with her hands folded in her lap and her ankles crossed. Her skin is bleached white and she wears dark red lipstick with pink eye shadow around one eye and blue eye shadow around the other. Her hair is pulled into an up-do, which of course signals the utmost professionalism, never mind the bun atop her head dyed pink and blue. She wears eyeglasses and a white lab coat over her usual attire of red and black color-blocked crop top and shorts. ]

Hi Ximilia! [ She waves. ] I'm one of your new arrivals. My name is Harley Quinn and I happen to be a psychiatrist. For those who need further explanation, a psychiatrist is a medical professional that specializes in mental health. So if you're feeling like outer space is making you antsy or you're hanging on to some baggage from last mission (I heard it was a doozy) then I'm the doctor for that!

I'm not starting a formal practice or anything, but I'm happy to share my expertise with the crew. First consultation is free and there's no obligation to continue! (Just kidding, we're not doing capitalism in space.)

And a general Q because I'm curious to know: What is mental health treatment like where you're from?

[ hello, you rang? yes, my name is anxiety. what's up. more importantly though: anti-capitalism? excellent. ] yo, your style is confusing and i like it.

isn't great back home. expensive. inaccessible by most.

[slapsticks]

THANK YOU it has gone very unappreciated so far

yeah, accessibility is the major issue where i'm from too

[wrenchedup]

seriously? wow. fuckin rude @ literally everyone.

oh, oh. my favorite thing is when the government starts going on their war on drugs rampage but then charges a bajillion dollars for one month supply of actual medication. suuuuuper cool.

[ and this, ladies and gentleman, is why you hack into the accounts of the rich and steal their money. ]

[slapsticks]

i KNOW right????

ooh, ooh, or when they neglect the affordable housing crisis and crushing weight of student loans but demonize the unhoused and underemployed! the woooooooorst.

[wrenchedup]

[ You are barking up the absolute correct tree with this, Harley. ] don't worry, though. there's only another five condos going up after the demolition of important and long standing family businesses is complete. but what is this?? the economy is in the shitter? poverty rates are through the roof? well it must be because everyone is lazy!

fucking banks, and fuck institutions too. now they have courses to teach you how to post on social media. if they could run a course on how to take a fucking shit i'm sure they would. bring back apprenticeships, man.

[slapsticks]

okay, either you're from gotham too or these problems are way more universal than i thought

[wrenchedup]

never heard of gotham, so.... depressing, ain't it? aaaanyways, i'm wrench. good luck on your psych start-up. given the reason we're all here you probably got your work cut out for ya
