I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my TH-cam channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙

Interessting

might you someday address the intersection between epilepsy & manic depression & how that affects one's work? i am having a great deal of trouble finding information online re: this subject ~ credible information, anyway. i do wish there were any upside to the seizures. sometimes it feels as if they're trying to break the brutal barrier. bp2 is a pair of bright red shoes made of frosted cake in comparison.
as an aside, if you still want to eat r.d. laing, i would be most happy to cook whatever's left of him for you. a bit gamy, i suppose, after all this time, but dip him into an overly spiced tomato- & onion-based sauce & he should nearly be fine.
ps. i read yr book!!
