I am a retired higher education administrator, adoptive parent, caregiver, and advocate for an adult living with serious psychiatric illness. My interest is reducing the intersection of psychiatric illness with the criminal justice system.

"I think we've forgotten how to be human." -- #Graffiti seen on a #railroad trestle in #Austin, #Texas #ATX
My favorite #turtle #rescue #photo. I found them in a puddle of an otherwise dry creek bed and carried them to a pond.
Images from “The Last Supper: 700 Plates Illustrating Final Meals of U.S. #DeathRow #Inmates” by Julie Green. Richard Fairchild, #executed in Oklahoma yesterday, may get a plate—his attorney said he had #schizoaffective disorder.
Merely wishing to read the #gravestone #epitaphs, I sought a breach in the #Austin State Hospital #cemetery fence to #trespass. Finding none, I was #marginalized like those buried here. I share two lovely #remembrances of one perhaps lost to #psychiatric illness that are pinned to the fence. A grocery cart filled with #disorganized and random objects is perhaps an apt #metaphor for #mental #illness and #homelessness #policy in the USA. Isn’t #freedom great? #ATX
I found a segment of an #ammonite that is reportedly about 65 million years old.
Photos from my morning #hike along Slaughter Creek in Austin, Texas. #ATX
Graffiti seen at a railroad trestle in Austin, Texas, USA. I do not know if Dr. Anze is a real person. #ATX #Texas #Psychology #Psychiatry
Bella at 13 years old is blind, nearly deaf, and arthritic. But she’s still here and making the best of things. Her favorite activities are eating and sleeping. I hope she still sees, runs, swims, and has a great time in her dreams. #DogsOfMastodon
