For everyone viewing #FreeBritney from the lens of “this isn’t right— she’s not (Disabled, incapacitated, incompetent, mentally ill) because she can (work, communicate effectively about her abuse, make decisions, be a mother, post on social media)” — that is NOT the point:

Even if Britney Spears IS Disabled, mentally ill, or neurodivergent, she wouldn’t deserve a conservatorship. And whether or not she politically identifies that way or prescribes to medicalized understandings of her experience, Britney has mentioned anxiety + bipolar disorder.

What is happening is only possible if are considered Disabled by law— then you can have your autonomy, self-determination, + freedom taken away from you. That is why this was so easy. Once you are declared incompetent, or not of sound mind, you are no longer considered a person.

✨ what to do after someone’s suicide attempt: a (non-exhaustive) guide for practicing loving, supportive, non-carceral + non-directive care ✨

CW: discussion of suicide attempts

#PeerSupport
#NoCopsInCrisis

1) Express empathy. Avoid anger, guilt, blame and shame:

Now is the time to communicate your love. If this is a person we love deeply or are in relationship with, we can become personally impacted with their decision to attempt suicide.

We may be navigating different, competing emotions during this time - our love for this person, our shock, our fear, confusion around why they did it and what was going on for them, or defensiveness around why we weren't "enough" for them to want to be alive.
