I think we all need some happy posts. And we’re in luck: I took a ton of photos at Barcelona’s zoo. I like this one because of the lemur’s tongue. It’s subtle, but achingly cute once you spot it.
For more of my photos (she says immodestly), go here.

Liz Spikol was born in Philadelphia sometime in the 20th century. She started writing about her experience as a person with mental illness in 1999, while employed at Philadelphia Weekly as the paper’s managing editor. Aside from serving as that paper’s web editor, music editor, staff writer, senior editor, executive editor and a host of other random roles that she couldn’t make up her mind about, she has also worked as a Spanish teacher, as a Certified Peer Specialist during Philly’s system-wide transformation and as a communications specialist for a prison reform organization. Currently, she works at the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania and writes book reviews for PW. This blog — named one of the Top 10 Bipolar Blogs of 2007 and 2008 by PsychCentral — is about medications, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, SAD (and many other acronyms), mad pride, Big Pharma, celebrities, hospitals, stigma and the recovery movement. And other stuff.
Hi Liz,
I found your site because I was showing someone what a lemur looked like and did a Google image search!
You are a very brave person and I’ll be checking your blog.
You might say I have some kind of OCD (every lawyer does) but I’ve gone public with some things about my life, including movies relating to the struggles my clients and I have faced as Civil Rights advocates.
An editor at the BostonNOW paper has finished the second draft of my biography; it’s a trip reading it through someone else’s eyes but actually it’s not sooooo different from what I see.
Anyway, enjoy my most recent blawg entries on the Death Penalty and a very tragic shooting in Franconia Notch, NH involving Olympic skier Bode Miller’s cousin and a police officer.
Both men are now dead.

PPS: A bit about data mining, and drug companies’ influence over physicans in which I note that Americans are both over and under prescribed, totally:
