The Trouble with Spikol | Make Major Moves | PW Style | Cup o'Joel
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.
Blast from the past! I LOVE it! I have been living in New England for the past 13 years and NO ONE would get this one. I met you at a Brandon’s xmas party in South Jersey a few years ago. My boyfriend and i run a small weekly in Massachusetts. Remember us?
Do Burlington Coat Factory too! (I don’t think that was before your time.)
And clear plastic slipcovers. The ones which are husband-proof.
Don’t disappoint me in my hour of need.
Liz. i love you for that.
Apparently the world is full of Ernie Bocks. (That’s a Boston thang.)
I LOVE your videos, Liz.
