I needed these

Good morning!!

I have made an instagram account and a facebook page. I have not really figured out either of the sites but it might be interesting for people who don’t really use tumblr. I will also use them to post doodles and things that don’t really fit here ₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡

Sorry for the boring post! Take this beautiful  illustration of my cool new star wars PEZ spender as an apology ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I get that people are upset about the new president. Believe me, I am too. But I've seen people who have posted things like "if you support trump I'll block you". And that's honestly more scary than having a tan reality TV show guy win an election. We, as the people of this country, have more power than we think. And dividing us because of our opinion is NOT a good idea. I believe that people have the right to an opinion, but just because they have an opinion about trump being good or bad doesn't necessarily put them into Trump's stereotypes. I get it, believe me i do. I hated all of the candidates as much as anyone did. But it shouldn't be the thing that divides people. That's just dumb. It's finalized and a new president was elected. That's only four years out of your whole entire future. Don't be upset. You still have a long way to go. It shouldn't matter whether or not you support someone. And just because you support someone doesn't make you automatically the same person. It hurts me that some people think this way. He isn't going to kill anybody, and sure he's inappropriate, so if he gets impeached, fine. If not, fine. You're going to live through it, so it won't matter sooner than you think. And remember that Trump might do something good for the country. Don't put him in the bad just yet. He's our leader now and if you're unhappy, be unhappy. Just know you can't do anything about it for the next 4 years unless you want to start a literal war.

Inspiration

Rikers Island is an infamous New York City jail where people with mental health conditions are nearly 40% of the population. Many have been injured or been murdered there, or, like Kalief Browder, have died by suicide as a result of being incarcerated there. Even The NY Times has called for Rikers to be closed, and Just Leadership USA is leading a campaign to close it down. How can the mental health advocacy community help?

Abuses in the prison system have affected my family, so I can at least speak from those experiences.

My father died in the prison system at the age of 45 due to liver failure (he was an alcoholic and had contracted Hepatitis C). I saw him on Christmas Day of 2007. He was sickly and gaunt, with a distended belly that protruded so intensely that it looked like he might birth triplets at any moment. He wasn’t getting the medical care he needed, no matter how much he requested it or how sick he got. He died two months later, alone in a hospital, shackled to a bed. I was his next-of-kin, and I was not notified that he was dying. The only communication I received from the Florida prison system was a call ten hours after my father’s death, informing me that inmate Marc Stage had “expired,” and asking if I would like to collect the body.

Along with the alcoholism, my father had a comorbid mental health diagnosis. I don’t know how much of a role it played in his experiences as an incarcerated person, outside of its manifestations getting him into the troubles that resulted in incarceration. I don’t know if he sought services. I don’t know if he suffered abuses related to his mental health.

Even with the research I’ve done on Rikers, I don’t know if reform or closure is a better answer. I don’t see either being achieved easily because of larger systemic ills.

As far as what the advocacy community can do, we can do what we do best: raise our voices, shake things up, study the system and infiltrate it to further expose the abuses the inmates are suffering, volunteer, spend time with the inmates, advocate for the ones who have no one to advocate for them, and fight, fight, fight until we achieve the change we seek.
