"As a Black person with OCD, and generalized anxiety disorder, I watch myself and watch the white gaze watching me." @AlmahCreative beautifully captures her experience with OCD and Black identity. Loving witness ➡️ fighting MI stigma

Dr. Jilani's experience with mental health stigmatization in the medical field was both eye-opening and necessary

@Adamhill1212 discusses opt-out counseling in his book and his attention to empathy/vulnerability is incredible!

Reading Long Walk Out of the Woods this resonated so deeply: “secrecy is an exhaustive mental exercise” @mmt98 #CSSWMMT22

🤣@ShimonDCohen I don’t remember talking about hustle culture.

I need to listen cuz this weary phd student is doin too much.

[Demi Yoshida @dsy2110]

@CaitlenMacias @mmt98 @meli_cssw I recognize this one person's story and it does not speak for all, but I learned a lot from this article and simply intended to advocate for the opinions presented in this piece.

[Demi Yoshida @dsy2110]

The eradication of sex work stigma and decriminalization go hand in hand. #sexworkiswork #endsexworkstigma

Check out the Sex Workers Project as a resource to advocate for destigmatization.

This was an article I was assigned to read in my Human Sexuality Class through Columbia. The author defines themself as a sex worker and states their occupation is as a stripper...

With all of the hatred towards #trans youth being put in policy, let’s all spread some love and show the people being affected by #DontSayGay bills across the country how many people care about them. You are loved. You are strong. You are important #letters4transkids #csswmmt22

[Demi Yoshida @dsy2110]

@JamesFr15313138 Hi James. Thank you for promoting trans-visibility and for honoring those affected by the #DontSayGay policies! My heart goes out to this community as well.

"You don't need to be on the cover of Forbes to be important."

Thinking about Shimon Cohen's podcast w/ Hayden Dawes & the performative aspect of hustle culture. Proving myself & overcompensating my worth is something I'm still actively trying to work on.

Someone knows this person who saved a man's life today on the New York subway. He should be recognized for the hero he is applying a tourniquet!

@CaitlenMacias @meli_cssw @mmt98 Hi Caitlen. The point I was trying to advocate was protection for sex workers in terms of contracts, education on rights, etc. I agree that it is not like other occupations. No sex worker is pro sex trafficking. Thank you for your input.

[Demi Yoshida @dsy2110]

@meli_cssw @mmt98 Melissa, thank you for sharing about the impact of open discussions around suicide and MI. As listeners, we need to feel secure enough to let others feel how they feel. #LetsTalkAboutit
