Welcome to Head Snakes

A Newsletter about depression and what it feels like to feel like shit

Hi, I’m Ash, and this is your invitation to read Head Snakes—a living document on life with depression peppered with musings on madness, the social construction of illness, and the political dimensions of sickness and health. Consider this your through-the-looking-glass come-hither look, tempting you into the psychological upside down to explore of the social ills of being socially ill and what it feels like to feel like shit. Join me for hellku poems, Weird Therapy adventures (spoiler alert: We Hero's Journey! We meet God! We kill him! We smash the clock at the center of the universe!), depression diaries, and script-flips on traditional ideas of mental health and illness.
