The United Nations has called involuntary psychiatric care a form of torture but it's still regularly practiced on suicidal patients in the US. Involuntary 72-hour ("5150") holds are the norm for people deemed a threat to themselves. During this time, consent goes out the window.

Suicide risk following involuntary psychiatric hospitalization skyrockets. While 5150 holds may prevent a person from dying in one moment of crisis, they don't protect people long term. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31162700/

#988Lifeline openly engages in nonconsensual active rescue despite its harms and lack of effectiveness. Callers seeking phone support can end up being escorted by police to a psychiatric hospital against their will--sometimes at gunpoint if the officers deem the person dangerous.

There are crisis hotlines that don't engage with police or nonconsensual active rescue. 988 is NOT one of these safe hotlines. Instead, check out @TransLifeline, @CallBlackLine, & @SamaritansNYC.

Imagine you sold carrots, turnips and parsnips; you wouldn’t call your store “the carrot shop”. Folk wouldn’t know they can get turnips there. So calling it “the root vegetable shop”would cover all options. Then imagine the media reacted by screaming “YOU CAN’T EVEN SAY CARROTS”

@90DayFiance @JibriBell - I think the world of you, but coming from a psych background, your mother is evil. Really hoping this is just editing and not her using her education to manipulate.

My name is Michele Rayner. For the past two years, I was called Ron DeSantis' biggest nightmare in the Florida legislature. Now, I am running to be the first openly queer Black woman in Congress. Help me amplify my message by retweeting, following, and getting me to 35k today.

Talking to men about what it feels like to be a woman must, in a microcosmic way, feel like a person of color explaining their experience to everyone else. #FuckSCOTUS
