(in) sanity + Mad Pride

I may be the world’s newest card-carrying member of the mad pride movement: of

It is rare that I feel called to identify with a single subculture but I feel that here, like I have found my tribe.

The nearest I had come was the LGBTetc movement, but there I felt I was an ally more than a card-carrying queer person.

Truth is I’m queer as they come, just not in a sex, gender or orientation sense. Neuro- and psycho-logically speaking, I am queer AF

and so I’m glad to have discovered Mad Pride because it feels like a nice synthesis of the two subcultures.

Thank you to Zoey at Finding North Network for putting me onto it.

I am proud that I ‘went mad’ at least 2.5 times and came back from the brink alive and well, bearing insights for the village.

Those trips were truly heroic journeys and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

By ‘going mad’ I moved into sanity 🤘🏽
