ALT Good Bones Launch BY MAGGIE SMITH Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.
ALT Information poster entitled "research about harm in UK mental health services" with the logo of the University of Central Lancashire. The text reads: "This research study is looking to identify & examine overlooked & lesser known forms of harm in UK mental health services. This includes any experience you define as harmful. It also includes the experiences of people who have been excluded or unable to access care from mental health services. For the first part of the study I am looking at accounts of harm people have written & published online or in print. This includes independent survivor research, blogs, zines, magazines, articles, books, social media posts, poetry & other forms of creative expression. This study is seeking permission from survivors for their words and experiences to be included. If you have written anything like this & would like to include it in the research, please get in touch by email or twitter." The rest of the alt text is at the bottom of the twitter thread.
ALT Havi Carel, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Bristol, says: "In healthcare research, you need the science and the empirical evidence. But you also need the conceptual questions and the historical and sociological context."
