I am trying memorise this to keep me out of mischief. Will take a bit. I no longer have a harpsichord, but do play recorder. Never played viol.

Activism...

great article on Madness and Time

https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/mad-world-on-the-psychotic-experience-of-time/

Mad Pride in the Netherlands is worth looking at.

Recent -

- Abolitionist Perspectives (as in the psych system is beyond gradual reform).

- Why Health Led Responses are better for Mental Health Emergencies. ( ie not police)

I rarely take strong positions, but adopt a curious open attitude. I am not impressed with what I have seen since the Royal Commission. Hmmm. Some are helped, but many are harmed.

I definitely agree with second issue. Regardng the first, I believe the system needs to become more honest about the harms done, unfortunately funded by the taxpayer for good intentions. Take steps to rectify for the public, generally and to the individuals involved, who have been harmed... but.... weary sigh...I dont think they have the integrity.
