I've been a little involved with Writing Badly, a soon-to-launch transfeminist journal, if you're TMA & writing transfeminism, and you'd be interested in contributing to a scrappy little journal, please do consider submitting! Already published work welcome! Rough-around-the-edges-work welcome! I think it's going to be really cool to have a physical, tangible space where these conversations and thoughts can go.

Hi,

I am writing to you from Gaza 🇵🇸, where my family of 11 is enduring extreme famine due to the devastating blockade and ongoing war.

We haven’t had bread for several days, and severe hunger is overwhelming us. I can’t even afford a bag of flour to make bread, leaving us in unimaginable distress.

Living amidst hunger and death is beyond words. Our suffering feels endless, and your support could be our only lifeline out of this nightmare.

Your contribution, no matter the amount, can help us buy a bag of flour, which now costs 150 euros, and provide much-needed food for my family.

Thank you to every compassionate soul extending a helping hand. 🙏💙

…psychiatry assumes that society does not cause distress in biologically normal people, who are considered biologically normal at least in part because they are economically productive. This assumption permits the conclusion that if a person is distressed to the point of unproductivity, it is because that person—not society—is abnormal. Thus, psychiatry’s commitment to biological essentialism not only masks the role of the constructed sociopolitical environment in creating distress but depoliticizes it by characterizing that allegedly irrational distress as induced by biological abnormality.

– Kiera Lyons, “The Neurodiversity Paradigm and Abolition of Psychiatric Incarceration” (2023)
