My essay “Purple Basil Lemonade: Community Rituals for Crip Pasts / Presents / Futures” has been published in the open-access journal New Sociology!

This paper is about making & sharing purple basil lemonade as a method of re-turning (to) the past; refusing capitalist, ableist, and eugenic presents; and dreaming alternative futures that resist the false dichotomy of COVID endangerment vs. isolation.

A Mad Turn
Edited by Phil Smith

Written by Mad scholars, A Mad Turn explores the field of Mad Studies in theory and practice, and what Mad Studies can bring to academia and to other social institutions. What does it mean to “do” Mad Studies? What are the field’s intersections with disability justice, Mad justice, and gender and queer studies? This book is a bold step toward the Mad Studies yet-to-come—a Mad Studies that Mad people will build, twisting and turning and singing and dancing, a new realm of thinking-being-doing-knowing. Step into it with us.

In February, I facilitated a workshop mapping the futures of #MentalHealth and #Addictions #PeerSupport.

We discussed:
1) visions of the future we are being pulled towards
2) trends of the present pushing us toward particular futures
3) barriers to our preferred futures
4) emerging issues that could dramatically shape the future of peer support

A summary of our discussion is available on the PeerWorks blog:

#FuturesStudies #MadStudies #DisabilityStudies #Madodon

A screenshot of a "Futures Triangle" surrounded by digital sticky notes of ideas, with sections for "pulls of the future," "pushes of the present," and "weights of the past." At the centre is a blue triangle with "plausible futures" written inside of it.

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.

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. Specifically how the medical and scientific definitions of illness, disability, and normality have grown in response to economic and ideological developments.

my major research paper, Dreaming Peer Support Futures, is now available online!

drawing on frameworks of #futurity, #utopia, and #dream(ing), as well as practices of #diffraction and #zine making methods, my research explores the question: “what could a lens of futurity offer the discipline of consumer/survivor #PeerSupport?”

In 2022, I met with a group of peer support workers in Ontario to explore their everyday work and the tensions they felt in relation to #PeerSupport #Institutionalization.

This is a set of 3 zines which summarize the results of my MSW #research in relation to documentation, devaluing, and values work -- including colour #comics illustrating our conversations together.

Available for purchase ($8/ea or $20 for all 3):

Sanism is normalized in relationships with institutions.
It’s not talked about.
It’s woven tightly into unquestioned assumptions (common sense knowledge)
It’s a tool for power and control.

Mad Crip doula: offering holistic and emotional spiritual bodymind care, mixed with practical and crisis support (and plant medicine). moving from a liberation-centered and anti-oppressive lens. a transition doula with skills in: abortion, death, grief, Madness, and Disability.

#MadLiterature

endorsing: non-carceral, peer-led mental health care systems that exist outside of the state, reimagining everything we’ve come to learn about madness, and intervening in systems that oppress, disappear, and kill Disabled and mad folks.

Please Note: I don’t know Them in any capacity and They sure look bad-ass

Disability doula. Peer support. Social support. Physical support. Cultural roots.

#MadLiterature
Newly disabled people aren’t given a ‘how-to’ guide. Disability doulas are closing those gaps.
The community care practice, pioneered by queer women of color, reorients newly disabled people to a different life

Open Minded Online
sharing ideas and resources about holistic approaches to emotional and social wellbeing

We are two people who both have a great passion for holistic approaches to mental health. This passion has grown out of our own experiences of receiving traditional psychiatric treatment and finding it lacking.

We believe that it is possible to make sense of intense states of mind often described as psychosis.

reading Rachel Gorman's (2017) "Quagmires of Affect: Madness, Labor, Whiteness, and Ideological Disavowal"

doi.org/10.1353/aq.2017.0025

thinking about mental health "recovery" & wondering: recovering *what*?

is "recovery" about recovering:
a) lost "function" (clinical model)
b) lost self-determination (personal/peer model)
c) lost futures (peer futurity model), and/or*
d) lost white privilege?

* "and" bc function, self-determination, and futurity are white-coded
