I’m confused… It makes no sense to me why a high-ranking officer, after 32 years of unblemished and decorated service, would “leak” info. And 3-4 polygraphs later “confesses on camera”. Is this firing as fishy as it appears? #SheShed www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

What do Putin and Trump have in common? They don’t care how many of their soldiers die in the wars they start. As long as they, their families and their oligarchs can continue the grift that war provides. #Sheshed united24media.com/war-in-ukrai...

Did no one think to protect American bases and American soldiers and their families before starting this? What is the cost of this destruction to the American tax payer? To the families whose loved ones were killed or injured? The pictures show how Hegseth and Trump are lying to the USA. #Sheshed

“115 drone or missile strikes claimed by Iran…damaged or destroyed structures on 26 military bases and other sites with U.S. equipment.” This is what happens when your Secretary of War is an alcoholic X TV host..and your POTUS is a self dealing sexual abuser. #Sheshed apnews.com/article/iran...

Move over Tradwives! It’s time for the Return of the #TradCons! There are signs a sliver of Republicans are waking the fvck up and realizing they’ve been duped by a sleazy conman and that their old party died the moment that prick descended his escalator over a decade ago. Better late than never! 🤞🏻

Saturday is upon you! Time for you to begin relaxing, unwinding, resting, chilling, & reposing. You’ve earned it. You deserve it. Remember & care for those around you too. Let’s go! Be careful. Be safe. Be shiny. Be glimmer. Be you to the full. Take no shit. *See Alt on meme 2 for core meanings*

When you're silent, everything speaks. - ZEN SAYINGCore Meaning * The illusion of a fixed path: People often search for a spiritual path, a set of rules, or a map to reach enlightenment or truth (the "Way" or Dao). They treat it like a destination waiting for them at the end of a journey. * Dissolving the seeker and the sought: When you finally understand what the Way truly is, you realize it is not a physical road, a doctrine, or an external object you have to follow. There is no separate "path" to walk because you are already living within it. * Spontaneous living: True understanding means dropping rigid structures, dogmas, and the obsessive mental effort of trying to "get somewhere." You stop searching for life and simply live it.

Editorial note: As one might expect, the mental health system was driven by the financial incentives of Big Pharma and per-capita state funding, the psychiatric profession’s power monopoly, and the state’s desire for a mechanism for social control. Chamberlin and others fought against this machine.

Shooti@bambooshooti.bsky.social · 18h ago

In 2009, Chamberlin was stricken with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. When her insurance ran out, she was told she must move into a nursing facility. Refusing to be institutionalized, she launched a blog documenting her fight. She died on Jan. 16, 2010, at home in her favorite chair. /end

Judi Chamberlin in 2009. Chamberlin launched her blog, Life as a Hospice Patient, in December 2008 after entering home hospice care for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. She used the platform to chronicle her daily reality, vulnerabilities and her final political battles. The blog became a flashpoint for healthcare reform when Chamberlin’s private insurance provider, UnitedHealthcare, abruptly cut off her home hospice care. Her policy had a lifetime cap of $5,000 for hospice care — a limit she exhausted quickly because she outlived their statistical expectations. The insurance company suggested she leave her home and enter an institutional nursing facility instead. True to her activist roots, Chamberlin didn’t just appeal the decision. She published the ordeal on her blog and took the story to the Boston Globe. Her public pressure worked. Her doctor’s office fought alongside her, and she secured coverage until she transitioned to Medicare.

In the early 2000s, Chamberlin advised a UN committee during the drafting of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to ensure the rights of psychiatric patients were protected. Adopted in 2006, the CRPD was the first major international human rights treaty of the 21st century. /9

Judi Chamberlin pickets carrying a sign that reads, “Choice Not Force.” Chamberlin served on the panel of experts advising the UN on Disability. International laws allowed countries to declare a person “incompetent” and assign a legal guardian. Chamberlin fought to ensure that individuals with disabilities enjoy legal capacity on an equal basis with others in all aspects of life. Traditional mental health laws allowed states to lock someone up because they had a psychiatric diagnosis. Chamberlin pushed for language clarifying that the existence of a disability cannot justify a deprivation of liberty. Chamberlin’s advocacy ensured that psychiatric survivors were protected under the treaty’s anti-abuse mandates. The U.S. was among the 160 nations that signed the CRPD in 2009. However, the U.S. Senate never ratified it due to medical lobbies that wanted to preserve the right to enforce involuntary psychiatric holds and forced treatment.

Serving as a primary author for the National Council on Disability, Chamberlin delivered the report From Privileges to Rights (2000). It pushed to legally redefine everyday necessities as inalienable constitutional rights rather than “privileges” patients have to earn through good behavior. /8

Judi Chamberlin holds a copy of the National Council on Disability’s landmark federal report, From Privileges to Rights. In mid-century psychiatric institutions, facilities operated under a framework known as a "token economy." To wear your own shoes, see a visitor, or access your own mail, you had to comply with rules, take your medication without question, and display the submissive behavior the staff demanded. By 2000, the Americans with Disabilities Act had been law for a decade, ensuring that people with physical or developmental disabilities could not be stripped of their basic rights. Yet, psychiatric wards remained a blind spot where constitutional law stopped at the door. Framing psychiatric care around these universal, everyday amenities made the systemic degradation obvious to lawmakers. By demanding that everyday choices remain inalienable, Chamberlin was establishing a legal floor: A person does not have to "earn" the right to be treated like a human being.

Chamberlin co-founded the National Empowerment Center in 1992. Through this federally funded platform, she campaigned to introduce the concept of “recovery” — the idea that people can fully heal from mental distress and lead self-directed lives — into mainstream psychological practice. /7

Judi Chamberlin. The establishment of the National Empowerment Center in the early 1990s marked the moment that Chamberlin and her fellow activists injected the idea of “recovery” into mainstream mental health policy. Before the NEC, a diagnosis such as schizophrenia was viewed as a permanent, degenerative disease. Patients were told they would never get better, could never hold jobs or lives of their own, and must passively accept lifelong clinical management. Chamberlin argued that in mental health, recovery is not a clinical outcome, it is a self-directed process. As the NEC grew and the concept of recovery became popular, the mainstream psychiatric establishment began adopting the word. By the mid-2000s, state and federal mental health agencies declared that their systems were now “recovery-based.” Chamberlin grew critical of this co-optation. She warned that it was the old institutional system dressed up in new marketing language.
Shooti@bambooshooti.bsky.social · 18h ago

In 1978, Chamberlin published her landmark book, On Our Own: Patient-Controlled Alternatives to the Mental Health System. It became the foundational text of the international “psychiatric survivor” movement, arguing that peer-run, voluntary care is vastly superior to medical coercion. /6

Cover of On Our Own: Patient-Controlled Alternatives to the Mental Health System (1978) by Judi Chamberlin. Chamberlin took the rage, trauma and complex ideas of early grassroots organizing and synthesized them into a revolutionary manifesto. The central argument of On Our Own is that the psychiatric system itself is a major cause of mental distress. Chamberlin argued that by stripping people of their clothes, legal rights, privacy and choices, institutions induce a state of institutional dependence and terror. Chamberlin laid out a blueprint for what alternative care must look like. On Our Own was initially met with anger by psychiatric associations. However, over the decades, the book became required reading in social work, disability studies and psychology programs. Today, mainstream concepts like crisis residential houses, peer-run drop-in centers and the “recovery model” can all trace their lineage to Chamberlin’s 1978 book.
