Yesterday, I told my kids, “I’m leaving for a bit this evening. I’m going to start therapy.”

10-y-o gets teary-eyed and gives me a big hug: Yay! I’m so happy for you!

She always looked forward to it when she went. I’m glad my kids get to grow up knowing that #mentalhealth is important, and your brain, the most complex organ in your body, needs help sometimes as much as any other part.

So I’m working on gaining a Feat: developing resistance to psychic damage.

Loving being part of this work with an amazing team. #fightpoverty #endstigma

It's been an absolute joy and honour to work with @redeyefeenix @hettieanna @Nasrattania @profimogentyler @CeoNIRDP @chinatmills and others not on twitter.

As Dix grew up, she witnessed that people with mental illness and developmental disabilities were often treated poorly, and she felt compelled to help them. She traveled extensively and raised awareness about the need to treat these individuals with kindness and respect.

Voor 1 van deze wetsvoorstellen is vandaag de laatste dag dat je kunt reageren:
"Op dit moment zijn er twee anti-sekswerkerrechten wetsvoorstellen in consultatie. Dat betekent dat de overheid aan de bevolking vraagt wat ze van die wet vinden. Voor sekswerkers en allies is dit dus het moment om je uit te spreken tegen deze wetsvoorstellen. Hoe?
Hieronder vind je vier voorbeeldbrieven. In de brieven staan argumenten die de verschillende sekswerkorganisaties binnen de SWAD het belangrijkst vinden."

TRIGGER WARNING (MENTAL HEALTH DISCUSSION) ⚠️ ***************** 2 years ago, I was in the darkest place mentally I have ever been. I did not wish to continue on this Earth. My girlfriend @DIDmiggle saved me with her love & compassion. If you do not have someone to talk to, I am here. You matter. Much love to all. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #endstigma #depression #loneliness #love

Anyone else turn the doorknob 12 times (4 three turn increments) when checking if the door is locked? OCD is annoying af. #ocd #mentalhealth #stigma #endstigma #johnmastodon

I’m trying to become a psychiatrist. I had an abusive childhood & it was a major factor in me developing the mental illnesses I have today-borderline, GAD, MDD, & OCD. I want to help people like me bc I know mental & physical suffering. 2nd, someone close to me has DID-dissociative identity disorder. This is the saddest yet most scientifically amazing disorder & what I hope to study as a doc. Talk to me about mental health :) You are not alone. Much love. #mentalhealth #johnmastodon #endstigma

17 Dicembre: giornata internazionale per porre fine alla violenza sullɜ sex worker.

Ho deciso di pubblicare oggi "Prostitute in rivolta" - capire il lavoro sessuale perché non credo che in Italia, attualmente, ci sia un libro che ti metta di fronte al fatto che quando si parla di violenza, quella dell'assassino è l'ultimo anello di una catena più lunga di violenza sistemica, istituzionalizzata e trasversale.

Io poi ci ho trovato dentro tantissime altre cose, volevo parlarvene un po'.

The suspect being "an LGBTQ member" (????) has nothing to do with the story.

Reminds me of the use by PH media of "Muslim" to label crime suspects when the religion is irrelevant to the story. 2023 na po in a few days. 🙄

"Het stigma op sekswerk resulteert in beslissingen die in strijd zijn met de belangen van de sekswerkers zelf... Raambordelen geven ons macht, het sluiten van de gordijnen maakt ons kwetsbaar.”

Today is #WorldAIDSDay   

Sending love to anyone who's lost a loved one, and thanks to the health workers and scientists who've turned things around.

Because of them, a person living with HIV today who is on effective treatment cannot pass it on.
