Status Updates From Madness: Race and Insanity ...

I’m sorry but to describe antipsychotics as used to quiet hospital wards over help patients is ableist and neglects to question how the patients feel. Antipsychotics (for someone that is on them and know many others of all races in them) are wonder drugs. They aren’t tools for doctors. They save lives. They make patients live without fear. They are incredible She writes as if she knows but she doesn’t live that

So sad

I agree with her on almost everything but portraying people (espc women) being upset about a rapist escaping and even temporarily beingon the loose as racist isn’t the most productive. I don’t think portraying women as being hysterical racists for fearing for their and their children’s safety is fair at all actually. They lived in rural areas without husbands or anyone else. That’s scary (regardless of race)

I’ve waited months to read this book. Libby had holds spanning months and I am so excited to finally read it!!!
