Im reading a book called Warp and Weft which (amongst other things) puts forward the case that 'destigmatising', and telling personal stories about our mental health locates issues we are having within the 'atomised' self

Understanding the symbolic aspects of activity is crucial in being able to understand how people articulate a sense of agency - Web 2.0 has given many people a platform to create and have their voices heard, which means that the way that activities are performed is loaded with complexity and meaning

The relationship that we have with our agency and sense of self-efficacy in the world is so important, communication is beautiful

Stephen Hawking’s Eternal Voice
Hawking’s refusal to upgrade his communication system preserved a voice that became iconic, not just for its sound, but for the profound identity it conveyed.

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

Yet, one deeply underreported fact is that 80% of them were Muslim.
What impact did this have on their recovery support?
