We lost Terry Pratchett today.

The last Tweet may make you laugh -- that's why it's at the end -- because you may have been weeping ever since you found out.  Like me.

Jim Hines made a storify of Terry's final Tweets here.  If you read any of Terry's books, these three will make you weep.

Jo Walton's anecdote about Terry Pratchett refusing a Hugo nomination is, well, both very Terry and very teary. http://t.co/6geWR1rGrn

Depression: Robin, James, and me.

Robin Williams's death: a reminder that suicide and depression are not selfish by Dean Burnett.  This is a great piece, and if you don't understand depression, do read it.  If you think suicide is selfish, do read it.

And if you want to understand me, or anyone who is depressive, again... please read it.

Lynn Flewelling also blogged about depression and Robin Williams.

This is about Robin, who died, and James, who got married Saturday (see post on my SH fan blog) and mostly me.

Charity...

Today, if you have a moment -- pop over to macmh.org's match-it donation page. Please pass it along to others as well.

Mental health matters to me; I'm bipolar. And I happen to be lucky to know others to whom it matters also.

And if you have another way to donate, do that. The Bookmooch site allows readers to donate books; always ask and see if you can offer to volunteer or give in another way if that suits you best. How would you know sans asking?
