PAV MXSKI

Pictured is the author visiting his mother

Pav Mxski is a London-based artist and poet of Polish origin. At first a successful photographer of the English rave scene, later founder of a wild project called Slaginc, now pursues his own artistic work along with the written word. His art is a picture of a community uprooted, in need of social orientation and lacking an hospitable human architecture.

Alan Moore's Essay: Sexism in Comics

I "borrowed" the following scans and text from mechanicaljewel at Live Journal.com.

I thought it deserved to go 'viral'. To read the text click on each scan for the larger version. Invisible Girls and Phantom Ladies: How far have we come?

I lived with my depression for as long as I could remember although I didn't know the cause of my distress or that it had a name. In my late 30's I was no longer able to hide the symptoms or their effects and I ended up in Hospital after a second suicide attempt. Thankfully, I was eventually referred to an excellent and forward thinking clinic where a number of treatments were available. Over many years I became well enough to be discharged, which I feel is mainly due to Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (D.B.T.) because this allowed me to respond effectively to further treatments offered. I'd recommend others who have similar difficulties to seek the same therapy, it isn't a cure but it makes coping possible and easier.
