Project LETS

Thanks to God and then with the support of the good people and supporters, and with the support of Oklahoma Artists & Makers for Palestine And @_stormypet And @rootsinlibrary Today, many preferred friends and supporters around the world have been able to distribute vegetables to displaced families and alleviate them under difficult circumstances. Every contribution from you turns into a basic need that reaches a needy family, and with your support we continue and reach a larger number of families. May God reward you well for everyone who contributed, supported and participated in this good.

Vale is in need of urgent support in Göttingen and remotely. Vale has extremely severe ME and is reliant on community efforts to get care. 💙 Some of Vale’s caregivers won’t be available after next week, so more are urgently needed. Vale also needs medical support, as Vale is becoming more malnourished each day. If you can support in any way, that will make a huge difference 💙 [image descriptions posted in pinned comment thread shortly] **posted by a supporter for Vale, who has limited communication capacities

Excerpt from The Patient is an Unreliable Historian: A Poetics of Survival talk at Northwest Arkansas Community College. Text cont'd in comments. " Last week, I found myself struck while preparing this talk by a recent posty a recent post by Project LETS, an organization I deeply admire that’s led by/for Mad, Disabled, psych survivors. They write: “Psychiatric survivor wisdom is not the wisdom of having been fixed. It is the wisdom of having endured a system designed to fix you into someone else’s idea of functional. The world is in a great undoing. Some of us have been here before—in smaller & more personal great undoings. We did not always survive well. But we survived with knowledge. And that knowledge belongs to the people.” What does it mean to write a poem when the president is tweeting about wiping out entire civilizations openly while academics such as University of Arkansas Dr. Shirin Saeidi are being wrongfully fired in the open without repercussion for speaking out on private platforms about such injustice? What does it mean to write through pain, through illness, through loss, deportations & genocide? It means that we are called for a revolutionary poetics of survival. It means that while poetry alone cannot save us, it can help us metabolize and process the traumas within and without that stem from systemic injustice, ableism, capitalism, American imperialism, and all of their ideological bedfellows. As a young child, I was first called to write by my seventh grade English teacher Mr. Smith. Looking back he was almost certainly a closeted gay man teaching in Shreveport Louisiana in the early 2000s, and long before I saw myself, this teacher saw me. Not relenting on the first try, it took him multiple attempts to convince me to join his Creative Writing club. A gender nonconforming seventh grader in band tees in the Rock Against Bush era, that push to write poems not only kickstarted what became a career in publishing, but moreso saved my life. Poetry, for me, has always been about survival. Surviving abuse, ableism, addiction, transphobia, psychiatric institutions, and so much more. (1/2)

Meet @projectlets (📍 United States 🇺🇸) Project LETS is a grassroots, peer-led organization dedicated to dismantling carceral mental health systems and building community-driven, culturally responsive models of holistic mental health care. “Project LETS is grounded in lived experience. Many of the young people we support have survived psychiatric hospitalization, forced interventions, or exclusion from school and community spaces due to their mental health. Through LETS, youth who were once positioned as ‘patients’ or ‘problems’ become peer leaders, advocates, and caregivers for one another and their communities. One young participant shared that LETS was the first space where they were believed, not punished, during a mental health crisis. Instead of police or hospitalization, they received peer support, practical safety planning, and ongoing mentorship, allowing them to stay connected to school, family, and community while healing. Experiences like this illustrate how non-carceral, community-based care can interrupt cycles of harm and criminalization. The Kindness in Community Fund support allows us to deepen this work, investing directly in youth leadership, peer support infrastructure, and family education so that compassion, rather than punishment, becomes the first response to youth mental health needs.” Visit the link in our bio to learn more about their work supported by the #KindnessInCommunityFund and how you can get involved. 🤲💖🌎
