Asked about Jim Hood's claim that he hasn't taken the mental health crisis seriously, Tate Reeves says: “I understand that he's convinced y’all not to focus on the issues (but) we’re going to continue to focus on issues that are important to Mississippi."
wjtv.com/top-stories/re…
Reeves' campaign has often been criticized for its lack of focus on Mississippi issues, as he has spent much of his campaign praising Trump and trying to tie Republican and Dem opponents to national figures like @AOC, @BernieSanders & @IlhanMN. #MSelex
Republican voter Tammy Parsons recently told @SeymaBayram0 she won't support Reeves precisely bc he doesn't offer enough policies:

"I just don't think he has the best ideas for Mississippi, because he has never shared his policies. Never," she said.

On Aug. 3, Donald Trump literally said he wanted to "get rid of judges"—not over sexual assault allegations—but who follow due process with immigration cases, thus slowing his policies.

Sen. @CindyHydeSmith did not express concerns about "judicial independence" then. #MSSen
On immigration, Trump says he wants to 'get rid of judges' google.com/amp/www.msnbc.…
Last year, Cindy Hyde-Smith gave her first speech on the Senate floor and called it her "duty as the first woman to represent Mississippi in Congress to speak in strong support of Judge Brett Kavanaugh" and against the women who accused him of rape.

I'll admit: A part of me still wants to say, "But why? He clearly presents as a man."

Know what though? There's no good reason it should bother me. Or you.

As Jesus said: "Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two."

In this case, just say "them," not "him."
If it bothers me, that's a me problem—not a Sam Smith problem.

So what if you or I think it's weird? I think "normal" ppl are weird all the time. I think I'm weird most of it.

What does it cost me to honor someone else's supposed "weirdness" with a word? What does it cost you?
You know what I think is really weird? Our obsession with trying to make sure everyone lives in accordance with their genitalia.

Why do we care so much if someone's expression of gender is different? It's not like someone is taking your pronouns away from you.

The office of lt. governor is arguably most powerful position in Mississippi, bc it includes both exec & legislative powers; lt gov is prez of the Senate & can push or kill legislation.

But tonight's debate been @DelbertHosemann & @Jay4Mississippi is just 30 mins long. #MSelex
Tonight's debate starts at 6:30 p.m. and will be on TV stations throughout the state including WJTV (Jackson) WHLT (Hattiesburg) WFNA (Mobile) WMDN (Meridian) WTVA (Tupelo/Columbus) WXXV (Gulfport)— also MS Public Radio & SuperTalk. #MSelex

I'm having a watch of last nights @C4Dispatches "Young, British and Depressed. I'm going to share some thoughts as I go along. The programme was on the UK's Channel 4 for any none UK folks channel4.com/programmes/dis…
@C4Dispatches First thought is: children's #mentalhealth and young adults mental health isn't the same thing. Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services and mainstream mental health services are different beasts. 'Young people' is an artificial construct here. 13 and 30 are very different
@C4Dispatches In the intro the film cuts from a video diary/vlog type bit of footage saying there's no help out there' to voice over asking 'have young people become over reliant on antidepressants?' as if these two questions were naturally linked. They aren't, unless you want to make a point

Eat, Pray, Britney #FreeBritney
@EatPrayBritney
In our 4th episode of Eat, Pray, Britney, we break down the allegations made by Britney’s Gram and look at Britney’s team’s attempt to take back the narrative: eatpraybritney.com/episode-4
The reports issued after the #FreeBritney movement started are *very* scattered, but they confirm the broad strokes of the allegations made in @BritneysGram’s latest episode. Let’s break down the sources, details, and conflicts within the reports.
The first response we get from Team Britney comes from The Blast. Here they confirm 1) that Britney did *not* check herself into the facility, it was done by her team: theblast.com/britney-spears…

Mental health resources for people who can't afford therapy right now (A thread. Please read and RT to spread awareness)
I realize a lot of people would go to see a therapist if they could, but it's just not in everyone's budget. So I hope this list helps...
1) First I'll recommend Open Path Collective openpathcollective.org because it's a collection of U.S therapists who offer lowered rates.
