She Walks With Dreamers

"Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground..." ~ Wilfred Peterson

A 2500 year old mummy that had some amazing tattoos.

WHAT.

NO FUCKING WAY.

YO HOLD ON. 

IT GETS BETTER.

This mummy, found in the  Altai mountains of Siberia, is actually that of a young woman who died at about the age of twenty-five; she is thought to have been a member of the Pazyryk tribe.

She was buried with six horses and two similarly-tattooed men (the horned griffon that decorates her shoulder also appears on the man buried closest to her, covering most of his right side), possibly escorts. She was also wearing a horse-hair wig, silk, and elaborate boots, which is all a level of ceremony that would have likely only been accorded to a woman of high rank. You didn’t get inked like this unless you were very important, and had worked your way up to that importance. 

…Hence, of course, the references to her by researchers as ‘The Ukok Princess,’ although due to the lack of weapons in her grave they have concluded that the woman was in fact a healer or a storyteller.  

And now I’m all consumed with curiosity: Who was she? What amazing things did she accomplish? Why these symbols, and what did they mean? Who were the two men alongside her?

The most informative article about it can be found here, although I would completely eat up any other information you guys could find. 

more!!

Stop Stigma Sacramento
The Mental Illness: It’s not always what you think project was initiated by Sacramento County Department of Health and Human Services’ Division of Behavioral Health Services to:
-Reduce stigma and discrimination
-Promote mental health and wellness
-Inspire hope for people and families living with mental illness

Stop Stigma Sacramento is one of the many projects here working to support those with mental illnesses. These are all over the county—on billboards, community boards, and gas pumps.

For mental health resources in the county, visit the NAMI Sacramento website

I’m so in love with this.

this is amazing

but now what I’d like to see them do is make one of those ads a teenager with post traumatic stress disorder. because there is a stigma around the fact you can only have ptsd if youre from the war; both examples here seem to insinuate that from race and age. I would like to see a teenage girl or boy in one of those ads too

or dissociative identity disorder

amazing movement but I’d love more inclusivity of all mental illnesses - esp the ones with the biggest stigmas. I like they included schizophrenia in there tho

When it comes to what disorders are actually shown, it all depends on who is willing to be this public with their diagnosis. (These billboards are over some of the largest streets in the county. Some mental health clinics have a table full of brochures and cards.)
I’m not sure when this project began, but I noticed them just after I moved here last January. I just saw a couple with depression then. Soon there were more with depression, and a few with bipolar. Soon schizophrenia, PTSD, ADHD, and OCD.
It seems like they started small, just getting the basics out, but are now growing. And hopefully, because this has been so well received, more people (esp those with more stigmatised disorders) feel safe enough to be part of it.
