Link – Opinion | The Rape Jokes We Still Laugh At
This could not be any more true, and any more wrong. “The “Me Too” movement has made Americans more aware about sexism and sexual consent, but that sensitivity often does not extend to prisons, where over 200,000 inmates are sexually assaulted every year.” Sadly, I’ve seen some of the same people who claim to support…
Sharing – Tips for dealing with anxiety, the ‘check engine light’ of the brain
I love thinking about anxiety as the check engine light. It fits if we think about it, because sometimes that light tells us that there’s something wrong, but sometimes the light itself is malfunctioning.

Review: True Riches by Jeff Lestz (USA/UK, 2013)

Sharing – These Maryland cops responded to mental health emergency exactly the right way
I often talk about encounters between police and someone in a mental health crisis ending in tragedy. So it was refreshing for me to see a situation handled differently, and effectively.
