People In Your Neighborhood

take a seat and read

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me, 3 min. video.
One Saturday Morning by Tessa Hadley in The New Yorker

A Modern Girls Guide To Childbirth by Elizabeth Evitts Dickenson in PANK

Leigh White is a FB friend who is doing a simple and powerful act. She took a town a corner where a young, mentally ill homeless man was beaten to death by cops and turned it into a station for supplies for homeless people. She even puts receipts up on FB for accountability. If you have $5 or $10 bucks to donate, amazing things will be done. Things like comfort, food, water, toiletries, friendship, love.

Another single act by a woman who cares, Traffic Stop from the blog Meg In Progress, on the day she helped children sold into sexual slavery.

A new treatment for severe depression looks promising.

A write up and interview in SFGate with my publishers, Shebooks

Amazing glimpse into an experience not disused: Perdition Days by Esme Wang walks us through a day where she dissociates and experiences severe psychosis.

I thought this write up on Emily Gould was interesting. 

The Persistent Optimist by Jordan Rosenfeld
