@lauren DISGUSTING and total #Madness! Adults (mostly female and other victims) will have endless nightmares dealing with these AI-generated porn. And underage people will face much worse! The resulting cluster beep is perfectly and easily predictable and I don''t know how any of them can sleep at night? #WTF
Break is over in courtroom. I've caught you up on most everything in previous toots, so go to my feed for details.
Press:
Prosecutor: Michael Cohen accepted responsibility. So we should be allowed to bring that out on direct and that he lied on Defendant's behest. That changed, when Michael Cohen decided to accept responsibility. So evidence about the plea is essential
If you want to make me mad, I won’t block you forever unless you really step over my boundaries, but I will let you know you’re making me mad, and some people are definitely making me mad
"The Constitution still allows racial discrimination – not just against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples but against anyone. This is made possible by Section 51 (xxvi) in that the government may make laws with respect to 'people of any race'."

I had a spate of technical problems which undermined my mental health over this winter, and in the last couple of weeks I got to the point I thought I'd fixed most of them...
But I haven't fixed all of them, and continuing problems with computer connectivity in particular are leading me back towards crisis. Things are objectively better than they were, but that is very hard to cling on to.
“according to the Japanese functional food register, the consumption of the tomatoes is not recommended for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and small children”
I’m interested in memoirs, blogs etcetera telling stories of resilience, surviving psychiatry, trauma (developmental). Please share them if you know any. #MadLiterature
Lisa Wallace on why she left psychiatric care and why she may return one day
The Soteria model relies on personal relationships, interactive activities, and minimal use of psychiatric medication within a comfortable “living community” as opposed to a conventional psychiatric setting.

How Does the Soteria House Heal?
The alternative treatment model of Soteria helps individuals suffering from schizophrenia without relying on medication or coercion.
Happy Birthday to Graham McPherson aka Suggs, English singer-songwriter and lead singer of the ska band Madness, born on this day in 1961, Hastings, England.
@MadeyeTheCarnaptious aye, not my favourite. But I do often listen – partly because they're Westminster village gossips who are well informed about what our imperial masters are doing, and partly because listening to podcasts helps drown out the voices in my brain.
Empire of Normality
Neurodiversity and Capitalism
by Robert Chapman
This is a priority read for me!
I’m looking forward to how Chapman explains the emergence and rise of the pathology paradigm and its entanglement with the fundamental logic of capitalism.

…the need to offer a positive account of mental illness—one that does not define the essence of mental illness exclusively as the absence, lack, or failure of the power of reasoning…
On the Importance of Conceptual Contrasts Madness, Reason, and Mad Pride

The images of Gaza resulting from a blindly destructive military operation that kills thousands of #innocent#women and #children haunts any #peace-loving person of the world. The level of destruction waged by the #Israeli#military is greater than in any recent conflict, and has resulted in over 20,000 #deaths and incalculable physical destruction. Will there be an end to this #madness?
(and am I getting old or was it just a bit too loud? My watch even complained about noise levels!)
@allontheboard Tube service information board from North Greenwich with poem about the upcoming Madness gig: IF YOU LIVE NEAR OR FAR THERE'S NO NEED TO BE DRIVING IN YOUR CAR TO GET BACK TO YOUR HOUSE (NOT OUR HOUSE) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET; DON'T GO ONE STEP BEYOND ON A NIGHTBOAT TO CAIRO, JUST TAKE THE NIGHT TUBE TO SOHOT AND CONTINUE DANCING ON A NIGHT THAT CAN'T BE BEAT. UNCLE SAM DOESNT COMPLAIN BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE MICHAEL CAINE; HE NEVER FEELS ANY EMBARRASSMENT IF HE MESSES UP HIS BAGGY TROUSERS ON A GHOST TRAIN. IF IT'S JUST A GREY DAY RICKY WILL ALWAYS SAY TO CARLY, "YOU'RE MY GIRL AND IT MUST BE LOVE"; TOMORROW'S JUST ANOTHER DAY, BUT IT COULD BE ONE BETTER DAY, AND MAY LEAVE THEM FEELING LIKE THEY'RE FLYING ON THE WINGS OF A DOVE. C'EST LA VIE IF THE PLACE YOU LIVE ISN'T A CARAVAN OF LOVE OR A HOUSE OF FUN, EVERY ROOM CAN BE IMPROVED WITH HUGS; YOU WILL FEEL LOVESTRUCK AFTER A NIGHT AT THE O2, SINGING ALONG WITH THE BOYS IN THE BAND AND SUGGS.
