We need to talk more ABT UNMASKING as an autistic person is incredibly difficult even around other autistic folks ESP W RSD and CPTSD in the mix. Trying to unmask around a dear friend has brought back all the reasons why I have masked all my life

I'm glad AI Chatbot making people mental health worse is getting scrutiny these days and I also wish he went Therapist got this kind of scrutiny as in a fundamental questioning of whether the therapy space is actually good for people

The focus on self advocacy in the Disability community is the equivalent of the white feminist lean in thing…what's confusing is that the self advocacy thing is pushed not just by mainstream Disability ORGS but by disability justice spaces as well

TW Suicide I get that various forms of psychiatry have been a tool of social control but I'm confused ABT why suicide/"Self harm“are threatening to the Social order that they are criminalized or result in other legal restrictions. I suspect there are some excellent readings ABT this RECCS?

TW forced hospitalization Psych clinicians keep CITING research that it's the therapeutic REL, not the type of therapy that determine successful treatment. But never acknowledge that it's impossible to have a truly therapeutic relationship when one side can lock you up for saying the wrong thing.

TW trauma, abuse, forced hospitalization, ABLEISM "Go to therapy"–a sing shout tale of the trauma of finding a therapist as a disabled autistic person W psychotic disorder. 🧵 In the land of the de colonial left, madness is not real.

If every one of my 3000+ followers could give Désirée $2, she'd exceed her goal for getting safe housing. I know that everyone won't see this, but if you do see it and have $5 or a bit more to spare, please consider it. gofund.me/cfd069ce3

2 - A third of the way there to keep mama Mai housed, 333/948 ! We have until FRIDAY: chuffed.org/project/help...

3 - And for mama Maha, can we get this moving at all??? I didn't think this would be difficult, but EVERY month she faces eviction because we can't raise funds for her. We have 16 days... that's just 47/a day. What 1–3 people can cover that today? 49/800 chuffed.org/project/savi...

Note to self: stop reading self-help books that do not explicitly incorporate disability justice framework or an understanding of mental illness that doesn't erase mentally ill folks in the name of decolonization

Finally reading the parable of the SOWER…by Octavia Butler…and question: is the main character supposed to be wise from the start or grows as the book progresses? I'm on like chapter 3 and so far IDK what to make of some of the SANIST/dehumanizing language used by the main character

Just a regular reminder that immoral/unethical idea/policies etc. are not"Insane“…sanity is not a choice, but evil is

Please read this full thread, donate to Désirée's GFM if you can, and show up for your homeless neighbors. This is another blatant instance of a disabled, covid-cautious POC being offered housing by white people and then violently abused and made homeless again. It has to stop. gofund.me/6b8af16ac

How does one navigate and Access friction situation where person one is unable to state their communication access needs due to trauma, and keeps not honouring person two access needs BC person two stated them in what they thought was a clear way but turns out to be not accessible to person one.

My EXP ABLEIST discrimination by far too many progressive/leftist therapists is them saying: I don't have EXP W disabled PPL. You'd be better served by someone who does. They seem to have no interest in actually acquiring EXP by actually serving disabled PPL and assume that someone else does.

If I had a $ for every time I progressive/leftist Therapist told me I'd be better off working with someone else who had expertise in disabilities/psychosis/autism while also honouring my various marginalization a.k.a. Magical unicorn Therapist yes, I might actually be able to afford therapy

Yesterday I learned that some Medicare drug plans do not cover EpiPen‘s including the generic ones…I was so appalled that I had to take a second while talking to The Medicare REP…who was a good human and said they agreed it was disgusting but yes it was true But #MedicareForAll am I right?

Don't judge my reading choices but this made me very loosely think of the iron Fae series…which is about FAE born from the tech dreams of humans If you check it out, fair warning that it's a teen romance series

Of course the Fae are open source. That's why as soon as you give a computer your name someone steals it.

TW forced hospitalization Went to a “Civic hack night" Online meet up…was interested in some of their health related projects… Find out there"Care connect"project to connect unhoused folks with Care is just helping cops forcibly hospitalized people…🙃

Do other disabled people have the opposite of Fairweather friends? Like friends who only interact with you when you're having a crisis they can help with but don't really hang out with you otherwise.

I can‘t W PPL on left acting like Trump's military policies are uniquely bad BC impacting US citizens on US soil… the wilful forgetting of Obama/Biden decimating lives in Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Somalia and more is part of why this shit keeps happening…

Something that was sorely missing in my social education was how to sit with someone else's distress/discomfort without trying to ask questions/say platitudes or other things to try to make them feel better…

This sounds really interesting
