Hello 👋 I'm exploring to see if I might fit in around here.
I'm a survivor artist, activist & academic. I write about my experiences of trauma, madness & survival, share mad art & critique psychiatry rather a lot.
Hoping to connect with folks who care about:
* Survivor-led, peer communities
* #MadStudies
* #AntiOppressive care
* #CriticalPsychiatry, #carceral systems, #abolition
* Growing alternative, liberatory approaches to #healing & justice
