098 -- Lifeworld -- stalking, trolling, cyberstalking -- with Derek Feb 01, 2019

Show notes

How do you cope, if you're sad or hurt or scared or angry? What about if someone is making you feel that way on purpose? Stalking is a cruel and pathetic way to spend your time, and if you disagree... stop.
Derek (Sometimes Geek, Rolling Misadventures) returned to help me talk about the dregs of humanity who are smart enough to use the Internet but not smart enough to behave like humans.

089 -- Not OK -- experiences with suicide Jan 10, 2019

Show notes

Suicide is a dark, scary, hurt, broken place to be. Listen in to stories of survival, heartbreak, and courage. Lots. Too many. Because it is scary common, and rarely addressed.
THANK YOU to everyone who contributed. I'm honored and grateful.
Thank you for listening. It's hard and scary.
Take breaks. Drink some water. Eat a snack. Come back when you're ready.
Stay sane. Love.
