Today I'm drawn to contemplate the vibrant works of Heba Zagout, a Palestinian artist whose life was cut short by Israeli airstrikes on Gaza on 13 Oct 2023, that also killed two of her children. View more works via Instagram instagram.com/zagoutheba #ceasefirenow #endtheoccupation

The mental health/illness dichotomy, under neoliberalism, sees 'health' as what serves the economy & 'illness' as what does not. This destroys the nuances of living in a complex social world, where 'illness' is one of the few human signals left of where society is failing us.

A lesson on how Europeans, given our colonial history, ought to talk about Israel and Palestine. Delivered, in the Dutch Parliament, by @SylvanaBIJ1 A painfully rare Voice of Reason in Europe's Parliaments today.

"Omitting the context of 75 years of dehumanization, displacement, house theft, destruction, robbery, ethnic cleansing and murder at the hands of Israel, makes the Netherlands not only complicit in the dehumanization of the Palestinians, but also in the legitimization of illegal…



While the global north and western media take time to self-reflect and formulate the next “how do we work with this …”, children in Gaza are writing their names on their forearms to facilitate identification. No rush. The sun rises in the East #Gaza#Palestine

Margaret Thatcher’s claim that there is ‘no such thing as society,’ epitomises the state of mental health care in the neoliberal era, which implores us to: self-help self-heal self-rely self-soothe self-care …in the face of dismantled social, relational & material supports....


I listened to this conversation days before the Derna/Storm Daniel tragedy hit… a week later when so much looks different, education is coming up in every conversation where we’re trying to make sense and find ways forward: Indeed, what is education now?

Brave words… hope they resonate soon fast

I've been practicing psychiatry for 38 years. I love my job, my peers, and my patients. But I've come to the conclusion that I'm participating in the biggest intellectual scam of this era. We claim to be a science, but have no understanding how thought or behavior is generated./1

"During the past few decades, [a new] approach has grown from a grassroots movement created by [sufferers] to a revolutionary method for moving beyond psychiatry – a method that is being embraced across the strata of Japan’s rapidly ageing society". 👇👇👇aeon.co/essays/japans-…
