Why Saying “Sleepy Joe” Reinforces Ableism

March 12, 2021March 12, 2021 Gene Kelly

Let’s stop ‘tolerating’ or ‘accepting’ difference, as if we’re so much better for not being different in the first place. Instead, let’s celebrate difference, because in this world it takes a lot of guts to be different. Kate Bornstein, American … Continue reading Why Saying “Sleepy Joe” Reinforces Ableism

Mental Health Whack-A-Mole

March 24, 2018March 10, 2021 Gene Kelly

Mental health stigma…just…sucks. And, to be honest, I’m one of the lucky ones. I had already completed a master’s degree in counseling (even though we never do great helping ourselves), thus, I could recognize some warning signs for when things … Continue reading Mental Health Whack-A-Mole

Hangry

February 18, 2018 Gene Kelly

I’m not sure if any of you have ever done a liquid diet before…I had done the dreaded “colonoscopy prep” five or so times in my life already and that was already brutal. Also, wanting sports drinks or soup after … Continue reading Hangry

On Privilege in the Trump Era

March 2, 2017March 10, 2021 Gene Kelly
