From one of my texts for class >>>

We take so many of these statements at face value because they seem to make sense in our #patriarchal system, and then before we know it we’ve got terrible, repressive, socially-accepted "knowledge."

Reading about #NarrativeTherapy, of which I knew very little and am learning much, but never expected to end up reading about #Foucault and #neoliberalism as the theoretical underpinnings of this practice. It makes me hopeful for my future as a #MentalHealth therapist.

Quote from #JohnWinslade: Neoliberalism transforms people into less #democratic, more governable, docile, more consuming, neoliberal subjects who nevertheless believe themselves to be free because they have consumer “choice.”

#Texas doctor who said nine-year-olds can safely give #birth appointed to maternal mortality committee >>>

The move worries reproductive justice advocates who say the state’s #abortion ban – among the strictest in the US – has placed pregnant women’s lives in jeopardy. The appointment could undermine the committee’s ability to accurately examine the impact of the law on deaths during and in the immediate aftermath of pregnancy, they say.

The Far Right’s Campaign to Explode the Population >>

"The threat, we are told here this weekend, is existential, #biological, epoch-defining. Economies will fail, #civilizations will fall, and it will all happen because people aren’t having enough #babies.

“The entire global #financial system, the value of your money, and every #asset you might buy with money is defined by leverage, which means its value depends on growth...." >>

#BirdFlu Cattle #Outbreak Feels Like 2020, Former Surgeon General Warns >>>

The cow-to-cow transmission is the latest escalation in a global outbreak that began when the #virus reemerged in Europe in '20. It has since killed tens of millions of birds and more than 40k sea lions.

#WHO called this an "animal pandemic" on April 18.

Genetic fragments of the virus, discovered in grocery store milk, suggest the outbreak is more widespread than officials believed.
