Disclaimer:

This show is written in a first-hand, first-person format from uncertain and inconsistent narrators. This show explores specific mental health conditions. Whilst there is consistent use of derogatory terms for those with specific conditions or neurodivergence including lunatic, maniac, crazy, psychosis etc., this show is written and produced by a team that live with some of the specific illnesses featured within, including Tourette’s syndrome, schizoaffective disorder, insomnia, obsessive compulsive disorder, hallucinations, delusions, anxiety and depressive conditions, among others. Our team also features an academic background in neurology and psychology that has been drawn on to aim for sensitivity and accuracy. The intent of the language and experiences within the Sleep/Wake Cycle, and the extended works of Maeltopia, are designed to explore these conditions and their related isolation and degradation as experienced first hand. The world of Maeltopia is one where the mentally unwell are the majority. Yet there are still outliers who are hunted out.

  • 4. 244: Harlequin

    29:24||Season 21, Ep. 4
    "Harlequin rabbits are friendly, playful, and social animals that thrive when they get lots of interaction with their family members. Like other pet bunnies, Harlequins need several hours of supervised time outside of their cage to get exercise and release excess energy. Rabbits that do not get enough social interaction may develop undesirable behaviors like biting, scratching, or kicking when handled."

    34:30||Season 21, Ep. 2
    “Jersey Wooly rabbits are most active around daybreak and sunset. They do better indoors but should have enough space to run around in the house. Allowing your rabbit to run outdoors will help it get fresh air and sunlight, which makes for a healthy life. However, make sure it is in a secure area away from other animals or possible predators.”LINKS:KO-FI SHOP: https://ko-fi.com/woebegonepod/shopMUSIC: http://woebegonepod.bandcamp.comBLUSTEER: http://blusteer.bandcamp.comTWITCH: http://twitch.tv/woebegonepodPATREON: http://patreon.com/woe_begoneALIZA SCHULTZ: https://shows.acast.com/the-diary-of-aliza-schultzTRANSCRIPTS: http://WOEBEGONEPOD.comTWITTER: @WOEBEGONEPOD
