If an EIC gives carte blanche to trivialize racism, ableism and homophobia, the next natural progression is to trivialize mental health issues. Really, it’s in line with editorial standards.

Here is another thought: depression can feel alienating. And then your favorite site, the one where you might go for a respite between really bad days also alienates you, making you feel that your very real problem is an excuse to post bad Polyvore sets and dubious color schemes. Yeah, woman friendly my ass. Page view hungry is a more apt description.

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
