The critiques here are incredibly important. Your newsletter is articulating a lot of the BS that I lost interest in explaining after getting so far in academia as an aspiring psychologist: now recovering from all of this, THIS is the kind of media that I seek and find accurate, and comforting. Biological essentialism has been the death of too many. Community and I are moving beyond the DSM and white supremacy determining outcomes of our health, and continuing to move toward the positive health implications of abolition and community care. This content is a great starting point in leaning into this with ADHD specifically.
yes yes yes so glad it resonates, I feel very excited and inspired to keep digging into this. thank youuu i appreciate your words of support very much!
Thanks for that critique of TGL. When it was announced, and now recently with the buzz around its release (being in publishing, I can tell you it is quite a lot of buzz!), I was deeply concerned with the premise. I have it on hold at my local library to (most likely) critique, but I am glad to read other thoughtful critiques in this space. The mind reels, always.
very interested in your thoughts about it! I haven't read it, just this review of it, but its the same argument that Freddie deBoer made in The Cult of Smart and i just find it so weird that we're seeing "progressives" make such a regressive argument. like what is the reasonnnn
