This headline popped up for my “bipolar” news alert.
Disc Of Silicates Found In Heart Of Magnificent Ant Nebula
In the article itself, there’s much talk of bipolar, but having nothing to do with mental illness. Worse yet, until I read the article (or, um, some of it) I seriously thought it was about ants — like picnic ants. Je suis idiot.

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.
Oh, I get it – the Ant Nebula has that name because it has a thin, round section in the middle surrounded by two fatter round sections on either end. I wonder what it would be like to live there?
