Nearly 40% of women have a "mental health condition" says survey. Can't we ditch that language & the ideology it propagates & rather say: such women are in emotional pain, often for obvious socio-relational reasons. This take obliges a different response. https://t.co/bwDJ6NFGdt

This dipshit idea that we don’t need farmers is poison We need real foods grown on healthy farms in our communities m When we mend soil health we are investing in public health We have such broken food systems that it is the leading cause of chronic disease
