I am a chicana latina. I’m passionate about policy and advocacy. In my free time I love to read, go on nature hikes, and weight lift. I was a children’s librarian before med school and I still review children’s literature for a review journal. My reviews have even been blurbed on book jackets!

Listening to Disposable by Sarah Jones. In this chapter she talks about people with disabilities. Got me thinking about my cousin with Downs who lived in a group home and had limited verbal communication and got COVID and then secondary pneumonia he could never clear, ultimately passing away.

Information in this Zine was derived from SAMHSA, QPR Training, ASIS Training and Mental Health First Aid.
Refer to Help. Some people are afraid to share the suicidal thoughts with a medical or mental health professional because of fear of being put on a mental health hold. dontcallthepolice.com offers alternative crisis resources instead of calling 911, and is searchable by city.We held onto hope that better days were coming. And when we did, we were right.

Just Ask! If you are worried that someone you know is thinking about suicide, ask: Are you thinking about killing yourself?Be straight forward. Do not say "you're not thinking about hurting yourself are you?" Asking will not put the idea in their head, nor make them more likely to complete suicide. Practice asking in a safe place  until you are comfortable saying the words: Are you thinking about killing yourself?Listen! Listen without judgement. Show you care. Reflect back what you are hearing. "That sounds really hard. Thank you for sharing with me"Refer to Help. You do not have to be a mental health professional to help. You may ask: What can we do to keep you here/safe/alive for today?

I made a digital zine tutorial on suicide intervention, check it out.
Just AskLives can be saved by listening to someone who has spent their entire life never being heardHave you ever wondered how to help someone who may be having suicidal thoughts? Suicide can be scary to think about. It is taboo and rarely discussed. People experiencing suicidal thoughts often keep those thoughts to themselves for fear of consequences. How can you help?Know the warning signs, here are some:
- Talking about being a burden
- Expressions of hopelessness
- Unbearable physical of emotional pain
- Recent major loss (such as a death, divorce or loss of a job)
- Researching ways to die
- Giving away important items
- Saying good-bye
- Suddenly very upbeat after season of depression or grief

It’s “do not obey in advance” which is a completely different topic. Has nothing to do with people leaving to protect themselves, their families or their academic freedom.

I don’t know how you expect me to answer your question when you block me from replying. But there are A LOT of false assumptions you’re making here about my values, beliefs and past actions. I was NEVER okay with Biden (or Obama before him) haphazardly deporting people.

I would like to remind these NIH employees of a few things: TLDR: Just Don’t Do It!!
Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the state has become lawless or corrupt Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.Ever wondered what you would have done during the rise of fascism? You’re doing it right now.One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws

Chapter 9 - Be Kind to Our Language 
Avoid pronouncing phrases everyone else does. Think up your own way of speaking, even if only to convey that thing you think everyone is saying. Make an effort to separate yourself from the internet. Read books.

A lot of people have shared the opening of Chapter One of On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder on socials. But I have seen less of the other guidance. So here is Chapter 2: Defend Institutions. My institutions are public libraries & resident unions. What will yours be?
2 - Defend Institutions 
It is institutions that helps us to preserve decent. They need our help as well. Do not speak of “our institutions” unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions do not protect themselves. They fall one after the other unless each is defended from the beginning. So choose an institution you care about - a court, a newspaper, a law, a labor union - and take its side.

Meh. This is such a boomer take. I did that with TikTok. Like you know booktok was a thing right?? Lots of people were encouraged to read *through* TikTok.
In now deleted post Anne Applebaun states “In the Absence of TikTok, maybe people will have to read books. Or go outside.”
