Hello everyone!
It's finally time for the big one. The fundraiser for my surgery. I've had a lot of local help but there's still a way to go before I have enough.
Please comment, retweet and like to boost. Nothing in my life will matter more.
Thank you.

Mary Trump's book about Donald comes out today.
She describes him as having a series of mental illnesses.
Bigotry against the mentally ill will intensify for a while following this book.
It is imperative that you do not demean people for having the same illnesses as Trump.
@zeepersthewrtr A welcome surprise to meet someone that doesn't know us for bad reasons!
We uh... had some psychotic episodes that hurt some people a lot. And kept being triggered into more episodes by the backlash. Still untreated due to a hostile and underfunded mental health system. :(
We on the left need to have a serious think about how we treat people that act out due to mental illness.
I am guilty of cruelty to a schizophrenic person, despite being on the schizo-spectrum myself. I was faced with their delusion and hostile irrationality, and I hurt them.
And yes, I'm saying this in part because I want people to be considerate of our illness, too. It's so hard to be seen as a monster, as 'unsafe', as 'one of the bad ones'. We didn't choose to be schizophrenic. We didn't choose to be delusional, irrational, paranoid, hostile.
