A conference organizer emailed to ask for advice about topics, speakers, and panelists for an event focused on patient-controlled data sharing. Here are some of the ideas I shared (thread)...
The @quantifiedself movement is full of people with ideas about capturing and controlling their own data, then using it to solve problems quantifiedself.com
The @Data4BlackLives community is a creative, critical group of engaged scientists, technologists, activists, and organizers around the use & misuse of data d4bl.org/conference.html

Checking out @RealTalkAppNC "a community for teens packed with real stories about cringey moments" - example of #PeerHealthAdvice apple.co/2Ca8wIn
More teens use Instagram than Twitter so it's smart that @RealTalkAppNC has a robust presence there: instagram.com/realtalkapp/ #PeerHealthAdvice
Teens are often looking for a "just in time someone like me" to advise them on health and relationship issues susannahfox.com/2014/07/08/jus…

Kudos to @wbur, @healthblawg, and @ESchattner for explaining in plain language why Facebook is a lifeline - and a hazard - for patients & caregivers wbur.fm/2Ntz5ef
People's eyes often glaze over when we geeks talk about health privacy, but this is important: A Facebook loophole allowed marketers to discover the names of people in private groups cnb.cx/2L8IPZp

- 51% of U.S. teens use Facebook pewrsr.ch/2kCW352

Mental health issues for *every* community are inseparable from white supremacy.

The difference is, BIPOC have already been unpacking what white supremacy has done & is doing to them for a very long time.
Most other communities are already fully aware that white supremacy is crazy-making. Conservative white folks are about the only people it's news to. But white people need to start doing the work of unpacking it for ourselves because, for real, it's killing us.
A lot of BIPOC have a lot of experience talking about how white supremacy, misogyny, & their cycles of violence lead to trauma & fucked-up lives.

That doesn't make it their job to do it for white folks. That's our job. We gotta carry our own water here.

So the @cpsuk are allowing teen girls & women to be sexually tortured on film. I have evidenced this horror on my blog. Proving much is non-consensual/ DV victims/performers who suffer mental health issues/physical harm to breasts /anus/genitalia etc bbc.co.uk/news/technolog… #VAWG
Also, a significant audience of online violent pornography are children and teenagers. #Pornhub hosts thousands of sexually violent videos that have millions of views. Many of these videos are 'home-made' and single males upload their own sexual offences against girls & women

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

Riuh pula pasal BTS dalam Twitterjaya sejak akhir-akhir ini.

Sebuah kumpulan K-Pop yang disukai ramai remaja, juga ramai yang tak suka.

Aku?

Lebih tertarik dengan isu di sebalik BTS, apa yang mereka buat untuk raise awareness pasal Mental Health kat Korea.

Ini ialah thread.
Disclaimer:

Aku bukan peminat K-Pop dan aku tak minat K-Drama sebab banyak sangat cinta.

Tapi thread kali ini, aku nak jadi objektif dan lebih fokus pada usaha BTS dalam kesedaran kesihatan mental yang patut ramai ambil contoh.

Bukan sekadar tolak sebab "Alaaa.. K-Pop..."
Sebelum ini pernah kecoh seorang penyanyi nama Kim Jong-hyun yang suicide sebab Depression.

Walaupun dia kaya, berjaya dan terkenal, ini bukti yang penyakit mental ini attack tanpa kira sesiapa.

It's an illness, and like any kind of illness, it needs treatment and support.

Mental health issues are personal ones for me,

“Mental Illness” runs on both sides of my family,

I’ve seen people “cope” with for years, in a futile struggle

I’ve seen people overcome it, but it requires entirely remaking themselves
Separating internal mental health from external reality is as detrimental as separating mind from body

The factors that create mental pathology and self destruction are many

Redemption is found within
Mental health awareness is at an all time high,

The issue is not lack of awesnress,

The issue is a broken paradigm of how we address mental pathology in the first place

The reductionist perspective is dead wrong

1) The real news of the day is embedded in the #FakeNews #MSM - Basically all you have to do is read the Paper and put 2 & 2 together. We're coming to a point in time where it will be IMPOSSIBLE for the #NWO / #DeepState to hide the arrests & takedowns of #PedoGate
2) What do the Royal House of Holland, Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade have to do with each other? 1st let's look at the #FakeNews #MSM cover stories. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
3) Now here's the Kate Spade story - people.com/style/kate-spa… … - Already the death of Spade, Ines Zorreguieta & Bourdain are being tied to a narrative of Mental Illness, even though all 3 individuals were highly successful, well connected and independently wealthy.
