I will no longer be posting or communicating via X – the site has become too toxic. You can visit MindSiteNews.org or follow me on other platforms. And please read the statement I drafted for MindSite News.
So honored to receive a 2024 Media award from Mental Health America on behalf of @mindsitenews. @Schroeder_MHA @and her team put together an amazing meeting.
As a former @CarterCenter Center fellow, I can say that the fellowship was a fantastic and stimulating experience. Congrats to all the new fellows, and I’m thrilled that our own JoshMcGhee (@TheVoiceofJosh) and @mindsitenews contributor Simran Sethi will be among them. – at Banjar, Indonesia
Congratulations to all of the new @CarterCenter Mental Health Journalism fellows. We’re excited and proud to share that our investigative reporter @TheVoiceofJosh is included.
Thanks for doing it for us, Julia — and it is a result of @ahcj pitch fest! – at Oakland, CA

The only president I've had the privilege to meet and spend time with. He has been devoted to the service of humanity and embodied a vision of morality and social justice. A true mensch who has led by example and truth. I hope that his final days are full of peace and love.
