I hope we each take time to figure out whether we want liberation or just a portion of empire's spoils. I hope we're honest--about ourselves & others, with ourselves & others--once we know.

Psychiatric survivors do not need a “clinical assessment” of our experiences. We don’t need psychiatrists to approve of our memoirs. Instead of learning you revert to the only thing you know: diagnosing. This writing is horrific & a grand example of epistemic violence in action.

If your state is not on the list of those trying to dismantle #Section504 you can still contact your Attorney General & urge them to file an amicus brief in support of Section 504. My guy doesnt have email but I’ll be calling & sending a 🐌 mail to all his offices #Protect504 ♿️

12. Black. Men. Self. Immolated. In. Prison. And there is no media reporting on it. "Kevin Rashid Johnson reports that Econ and his cellmate Trayvon Brown set themselves on fire hoping to escape the intolerable racism, abuse, and inhumane conditions they were subjected to."

“In a span of just two weeks, a dozen Black men at Red Onion prison in Virginia took the same desperate measures, setting themselves ablaze. These are not acts of protest. These are human beings driven to extreme lengths, hoping for relief from torment.” prisonradio.org/news-update/…

When disabled people tell you that we’re in danger - believe us. This is eugenics. It needs to stop. Patients are being coerced into medically assisted death & it’s happening far more to those who are poor, marginalized, alone etc. This is ghastly.

Sudan deserves more than your occasional retweet, the every so often “and Sudan” when you talk about liberation. Sudan deserves more than your silence, your negligence. Sudanese people have been suffering constantly for over 500 days, they deserve your outrage and support. Sudan deserves more. Sudanese people deserve more. Black deaths are not worth any less than any other death, Black suffering is not just “the norm”.

"Self-harm is not a psychiatric diagnosis.." Lol yeah maybe not in theory. However, for most of us who self-harm, we know that in practice, self-harm is synonymous with BPD. You don't need to meet *one single other diagnostic criteria* & they'll slap that label on you for life 👍
Amy Chandler@DrAmyChandler10 Oct 2024
Replying to @DrAmyChandler
"Drivers of self-harm have been neglected by governments. Self-harm is not a psychiatric diagnosis; it is a behaviour shaped by society, culture, and individual factors." - this is such a crucial insight; responses to self-harm need to be wide-ranging and not just clinical 2/

For #WorldMentalHealthDay I'm resharing my study on genital & breast self-harm. Recycling the same sanitised "be kind" platitudes yr after yr is pointless. We need real conversations about the reality of what it is to live with mental illness and trauma. psychiatryisdrivingmemad.co.…

I’ve written and talked about this before. Disabled people are oracles
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran9 Oct 2024
Marginalized people, poor people, disabled people etc. are always the first to warn society about an impending crisis. And they are almost always ignored. Yet, when everything collapses, they are the first to be abandoned. This is an unacceptable moral injustice.
