Cool Blogger of the Day: Jen McCreight

Boobquake originator and all around charming friendly atheist JM talked about dealing with a condition known as "dermatillomania." She wanted to inform regular readers where she was and also:
Mental health has a lot of stigma attached to it because people are so embarrassed to admit anything is wrong. And frankly, it's silly. We don't tease or shame people for having bronchitis or cystic fibrosis or other physical ailments. And hell, mental health is still physical - the brain is an organ, not some disembodied spiritual puppet master. If we don't mock people for being deficient in insulin, we shouldn't mock them for being deficient in serotonin.
See also, here. Right you are, Jen, and cheers for promoting good sense again. Talking about good sense, she inserts a video as well about how not to behave around women. Common sense. Often neither. That's why we need people like JM here. Right?
