This is a hugely important thread - the impact and legacy of Section 28 has been SO incredibly damaging, yet it’s still not common knowledge.

We've been working on something… In a week, @sydbrownstone, @esmyjimenez, and I drop a new podcast: "Lost Patients" For years, we’ve reported on people with untreated psychosis and wondered, “Why is it like this?” Here is our attempt to answer that: npr.org/about-npr/1235…

I wrote a short article about Annie Parker, a Victorian woman who embroidered using her own hair during her approx. 400 stints in prison. Her needlework tells us much about her life and the suffering she faced due to addiction. Check it out here: historytoday.com/archive/miscel…
Arrested over 400 times, Annie Parker found redemption in intricate cross-stitch and crochet using her own hair. ✍️ This new article by @IsabellaRosner is exclusive to the website and is free to read at buff.ly/3HkYQua #victorians
