there's literal police departments on this directory of alternatives 😭 alternative to what? "untrained" police? so misleading!

Building alternatives to 911 must be rooted in prison abolition, anti-capitalism, & radical autonomy, esp for BIPOC communities. Otherwise, you're reproducing the same coercive, paternalistic, anti-Black, ableist systems under the guise of "community care," and gaining some capital along the way.

Lil Nas X's arrest is the dangerous venn diagram of anti-Blackness, homophobia, misogynoir, ableism, and the ghastly violence of policing in this country. No one deserves to be surveilled & caged because they are in crisis. No one deserves to be surveilled & caged PERIOD.

"As we saw with the death of Jordan Neely, racism and ableism — that is, discrimination based on disability — against those we perceive as visibly mentally ill can even result in politicians and media outlets celebrating your death at the hands of a vigilante." !!!

Lil Nas X faces felony charges of "battery" against an officer from an arrest during a mental health crisis in late August. I wrote about my family member's experience with police being sent during mental health episodes—still common for wellness checks—and how it ruined their life.

We speak of non-carceral care in our dreams of a more liberatory approach to mental health and crisis response, but what does that really look like in practice? What does an abolitionist care praxis look like on the ground and in our communities?

The heat isn’t just uncomfortable, it’s disabling when your nervous system’s already fried.

🔥 Dysautonomia + Long COVID =
🧠 Brain fog
💓 Heart racing
💦 Sweat chaos
🪫 Energy crash

Stay cool. Rest. You’re not imagining it.
