Hi, I’m Ash, and this is 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 invite into the psychological upside down—an exploration 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.

(What the hell are head snakes, you ask?)
