Hello, lovely! This is the personal blog of Maya, aka the Doctor, here to help.

Here are some things I'm enthusiastic about right now: Doctor Who, Harry Potter, the Lord of the Rings, Supernatural, Whedonverse, Star Trek, grammar and language, lexicography, William Caxton, Waiting for Godot, the movable type printing press, Hamlet, Edgar Allan Poe, Watsky, Vincent van Gogh, Elementary, the Vlogbrothers, Nerdfighteria, Gertie Millar, and people who care about things.

My focuses tend to be history, literature, adaptation of fiction, and utilizations of story for social change.

This blog also contains a lot of words and advice and thoughts about various things, especially mental illness (focus on anxiety, depression) suicide, self-injury, gender (trans* and gender inequality), sexuality (focus on asexual spectrum and lgbt*q), self-loathing and self confidence, and all that -phobia/-ism stuff.

I have a /help page detailing other resources besides me, a /coping page with some basic coping mechanisms for anxiety attacks, self-injury, and derma/trich, and a /importantthings page with a FAQ and some basic info. There are also a whole bunch of old advice sort of posts on /tagged/advice-maya.
