I'm a Wikipedian and I'm queer. I also have a currently uncontrolled seizure condition/epilepsy (but have been tonic–clonic seizure, or "grand mal", free since 2016). What to do if a person has a seizure:

• "First aid for seizures" at the Wayback Machine (archived 26 December 2010), Epilepsy.org.

I currently do have reasonable access to computers, but may take long breaks. If you have a question you may try my talk page or email.

Reading Wikipedia, it seems like an amazingly grand resource, but editing Wikipedia is an amazingly negative experience. Wikipedia could be a bright warm place of joyous collaboration and the celebration of knowledge, and not a dark cold place of suffering and competition.

You say you care less how I feel

But how many of you that sit and judge me

Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?"
