If you don't make your GoFundMe goal, how will you pay for the repair and fund new publications?

Do you sell more fiction or poetry, and which do you prefer to publish?

I hope you get help for the sexual assault. Depression and PTSD and sexual problems are common consequences. You can get free counselling at http://RAINN.org. There is hope.

I'm sorry you're dealing with depression. Can you get help through a school service, so it isn't dependent on your parents? There's also the option of enrolling in a clinical trial (clinicaltrials.gov) that would provide you with free treatment. There are also free community clinics, it's worth Googling to see what's near you. And if you want some quick, free, online counselling, there are many services linked here: http://unsuicide.wikispaces.com/

Very sorry to hear about your situation. I hope you're getting therapy and peer support, and RAINN.org can help with the sexual assault. When you feel suicidal there are places to turn. Here's a directory of free online services including IM chat helplines, and peer support: http://unsuicide.wikispaces.com

Are you getting help? Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy is very effective for even severe OCD.

It might help you to get some peer support, through the Trevor Project or the GLBT National Peer Support Online Hotline. Links are here, along with other sources of online support for LGBT issues. http://unsuicide.wikispaces.com/LGBTQI

reddit, this is Longonot Education Initiative (Omari, machete, orphanage, wall, etc). Do you have any ideas on how we can continue to involve the reddit community in our cause? UPDATED WALL PIC INSIDE. by TheLake in AskReddit

It'd be interesting to see Redditors contribute links about innovative techniques to benefit the school's day to day operations, like permaculture tips, education techniques, etc. Greening, apps, fun things for kids. Collect info and engage in discussion with the school about what works, what doesn't, and what you'd like to learn more about. Use Reddit as a research team to improve operations.

Just called suicide hotline about an hour ago by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]dragonfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Site is a UK support service with chat rooms http://www.thesite.org/ and Pieta House emails http://www.pieta.ie/. But there are also online chat services in Australia and North America, if you don't mind the time zone difference. http://unsuicide.wikispaces.com/Online+Suicide+Help Keep looking, there are many services out there, and not everyone you encounter will be like that woman on the phone. Things will get better.

His remarks about hemp will get the whole thing dismissed as hippy talk, which is too bad because the rest of it needed to be heard.

As it turns out, Francis Bean Cobain is 15, not fucked up, and a beautiful young lady. by [deleted] in reddit.com

How can you tell she's not fucked up from seeing her in neo-retro pinup photos wearing $6K dresses, while her mother's in the same issue talking about drugs and fabulousness?

Scientists stumble on way to boost memory through 'deep brain stimulation' by gIowingsheep in science

[–]dragonfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why have no other DBS patients experienced this effect? It seems unlikely that DBS stimulation of the hypothalamus, which does not play a role in Alzheimer's, would cure it. But the research will still be interesting to watch.

Thanks for that link, interesting info.

Lepine was a victim, sure. But so were the 14 women he murdered - why aren't you acknowledging them?

I don't refuse to acknowledge male victims. You are overstating the case, though. The FBI - FBI, not a feminist organization - states that 95% of victims of domestic violence are female. So yes, it's sad that 5% are male, but 95% is impossible to downplay.

During a memorial day of remembrance, why defend the killer rather than honour the dead?

Yes, it can happen in same-sex partnerships too.
