@ward_shane @JDaviesPhD Agreed. Now I don’t have to respond to the original post. The proposed binary isn’t real for neurodiverse women of color, for example who cannot access treatment due to structural barriers.

@JDaviesPhD Or, by highlighting neurodivergence as a legitimate experience it doesn't preclude addressing systemic oppression; it reveals how systems exclude or harm those who don’t fit normative standards. It’s not a binary process.

For GenZ, the neurofication of everyday life is depoliticising more & more forms of adverse human experience as rooted in fixed neuro-disabilities, that need to be accommodated, rather than in various forms of structural harm & oppression that need to be overthrown.

Our entire team is fanned out across Oakland talking to residents about the recalls, local measures and state propositions. And of course, the presidential election. x.com/northoaklandno…

Here’s my coverage of the 4 alarm fire that burned 15 acres in the Oakland Hills this weekend. #KellerFire #oaklandnorth

The United Nations Security Council has passed a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all hostages. The measure passed 14-0, with the United States abstaining.

Studies of MDMA-assisted therapy’s efficacy for PTSD healing is gravely limited if researchers focus on acute trauma. The vast majority of people suffering in Gaza (and in other oppressed places) are living with #chronictrauma #CPTSD. #FreePalestine #gaza theintercept.com/2024/02/14/gaz…

Remember: parental/caregiver abandonment and emotional neglect are adverse childhood experiences. In some cases, absence is the most impactful harm.

Totally unrelated from my typical content. But as a music lover and an audio person, I just gotta say there were no lies detected in #JayZ acceptance speech. Renaissance was a revelation, meanwhile Taylor Swift is over sounding mediocre. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Today is launch day for WHAT WE’VE BECOME: LIVING AND DYING IN A COUNTRY OF ARMS. The book begins in the early morning hours of April 22 2018, when a naked white man with an AR-15 burst into a Nashville Waffle House and shot and killed four young adults of color. I spent five years learning everything about the case – reading police reports, interviewing families, going to court hearings, studying how a man with a highly lethal gun ended up at a Waffle House, and what happened after he left. My research changed much of what I thought I knew about #gunviolence in #America and the best ways to prevent it. #WhatWeBecome started as a book about #guns – and evolved into a terrifying, infuriating, and exceedingly unexpected story about race, politics, and sanity in the US South. #tnpoli #gunsafety #WhatWeveBecome @wwnorton @McKinnonLit

@Slee_Z_Binance @MonicaVanzant @nhannahjones Turns out I’m smarter than you. Enjoy your weekend 😉

@Slee_Z_Binance @MonicaVanzant @nhannahjones 😂 did you even read the article you’re posting to “prove” you’re point?? My goodness, Mr. SleeZ, this is quite lazy trolling on your part:

I’m not racist, I swear. DEI made me do it!

@IBWellsSociety @USCAnnenberg @nhannahjones will these trainings be available virtually for folks who can’t get to LA?

We'll be in California for the first time next month for a two-day training @USCAnnenberg Feb. 16-17, 2024. The training is open to journalists interested in incorporating investigative reporting techniques into their work or advancing their careers. idabwellssociety.org/investigative-…

@Slee_Z_Binance @MonicaVanzant @nhannahjones Sorry to break it to you, but the two things are different. There’s copious data supporting what I’m sharing with you. Look it up.

@NeEddra @MonicaVanzant @nhannahjones No, that's a b******* redefined definition of racism. It's what the left does, change definitions to fit their narrative.

@Slee_Z_Binance @MonicaVanzant @nhannahjones Anti-white racism is not a thing. Racism requires access to institutional power. I think the word/concept you’re looking for is prejudice.

@NeEddra @MonicaVanzant @nhannahjones No, DEI and anti-white racism has been around for a while.

@Slee_Z_Binance @MonicaVanzant @nhannahjones The fuq is “new racism”? Have power relations changed while I was sleeping or bathing my children?

@MonicaVanzant @nhannahjones No, we all agree that old racism is wrong. What we disagree on is that new racism is the way to solve old racism.

@Red_eyedjedi @nhannahjones First bumps is the best on this list #funnynotfunny

@timothy_gumm @nhannahjones Sir. With all due respect, you just can’t call @nhannahjones a racist while slave holding George Washington is your avatar. I mean, 😂. WTactualF, bruh?

@nhannahjones You are definitely a racist.

@remitan98 @FrankDeScushin @nhannahjones Lol. #delusional

@nhannahjones This is a great exploration of how people like Nikki Haley and other conservative POCs (feels so dissonant to call her that) mobilize race while simultaneously saying it doesn’t matter podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/don…

@nhannahjones lawd. smh. "we've never been a racist country." 20 seconds later, "i faced racism when i grew up." make it make sense.

Why do the historically Black colleges that your father had to teach at because he was not white exist? There is a word for that…

@jill_d35 @ReadReadj i had same gender siblings in mind. but yes, to your point, subjective experience differs even under extreme circumstantial similarity.

@NeEddra @ReadReadj Well no two people experience the 'same conditions' do they? Their other life experiences will be different, and if one has suffered prior traumatic experience, it stands to reason that they will be more prone to psychosis.

Best predictors of worse outcomes in people abused when young: earlier abuse, multiple types of abuse/neglect, no support/not believed at the time, abuser is family member. Little/nothing to do with genetics.
