@softgothkitten: At the end of this video I talk about why the history of asylums still matters today. I recorded this a year ago, before the news about the DOJ's Olmstead memo. The history of asylums matters even more than it did at the time I recorded this. Anyway, the suffering of disabled people, both in the past and present, should not be your entertainment. There are SO many costumes and ways to spend your Halloween that aren't ableist. Video description for accessibility: A white woman with brown hair and eyes, black eyeliner, and a pink shirt with white flowers reads from a substack essay with screenshots shown on screen. #DisabilityTikTok #Halloween #Ableism #DisabilityHistory #Olmstead
I really can’t stand any hospital or asylum or slaughterhouse themes in haunted houses. I mean, tbh, I don’t really go to them because they tend to be overflowing with PTSD triggers for me.

They highlighted the importance of mental health and also talked about the more humane attempts at helping those who weren't mentally well.
As someone who lives with FND, I appreciated their take and history.
It's here in Michigan bit worth a visit. :)
