Two waves (1950s & 1970s) of systemic deinstitutionalisation and there are more “beds” than before; they just look different.

Busting the Deinstitutionalization Myth: We Actually Have More Beds Than Ever Before
New data upends common beliefs about asylum closures, deinstitutionalization, and rates of psychiatric coercion.

Mad Crip doula: offering holistic and emotional spiritual bodymind care, mixed with practical and crisis support (and plant medicine). moving from a liberation-centered and anti-oppressive lens. a transition doula with skills in: abortion, death, grief, Madness, and Disability.

stefaniekaufman.com/madcripdou

endorsing: non-carceral, peer-led mental health care systems that exist outside of the state, reimagining everything we’ve come to learn about madness, and intervening in systems that oppress, disappear, and kill Disabled and mad folks.

Please Note: I don’t know Them in any capacity and They sure look bad-ass

Open Minded Online
sharing ideas and resources about holistic approaches to emotional and social wellbeing

We are two people who both have a great passion for holistic approaches to mental health. This passion has grown out of our own experiences of receiving traditional psychiatric treatment and finding it lacking.

We believe that it is possible to make sense of intense states of mind often described as psychosis.

I just tried to reorder some first aid supplies on Amazon using my FSA card, and it wouldn't let me choose that as a payment option. I chatted with their customer service, who told me that Amazon currently has a problem where they can't process payments on FSA cards, no ETA for a fix. Hopefully they'll fix it soon, but I'm just imagining the mess behind the scenes over there! I wonder how much money they'll lose by the time this is all done.

If you see people on Mastodon talking about "spoons" in a way that doesn't seem to make sense, they are probably making a reference to "Spoon Theory," a great analogy for limited & unpredictable personal resources.

Here's the original Spoons essay that started it all, which is well worth a quick moment to read.

Super cool resource & literature. Need more time in a day!!! I just read the interview with Sofia Jeppsson

The series is designed to provide a public venue for discussion with disabled philosophers about a range of topics, including their philosophical work on disability; the place of philosophy of disability vis-à-vis the discipline and profession; their experiences of institutional exclusion and personal and structural gaslighting in philosophy, in particular, and in academia, more generally; resistance to ableism, racism, sexism, and other apparatuses of power; accessibility; and anti-oppressive pedagogy.

Hey would anyone be interested in a thread on lever drives? They're a type of power assist for wheelchairs, and something I hope to get for myself. If so, what times would be best to post it? Looking to make sure maximum amount of folk can find it
