Epilepsy Foundation eCommunity Featured Blogger

Some of us with epilepsy have become too efficient at hiding epilepsy that we hide our stories even when we do not intend to do so. 

Here is a pretty cool story about something  that happened last year that I posted on my Epilepsy Foundation of America post. As of now, I am one of four featured bloggers at the Epilepsy Foundation of America.

I also embedded this slideshow.

If all you have is a hammer...  and anniversary of first seizure.

National Epilepsy Awareness Month - Tower Heist

As part of the National Epilepsy Awareness Month Series.

I wrote the Tower Heist Boycott post for the Epilepsy Foundation of America in my role as a featured blogger.

Our epilepsy community was discussing how the movie trailer poked fun of a character who was labeled "seizure boy." Some of us considered boycotting the movie before it had been released.

In addition to referring to seizures, the Tower Heist movie focuses on a character who swindles investors.

I am guessing that the main characters steal the money back and redistribute to the original owners. It seems so easy in movies.

The movie opened the same week that Occupy Oakland held its General Strike.  I have included a photo from the Oakland protest to accompany this post.

 

Just a note: On November 9, 2011, the Tower Heist director Bret Ratner resigned as producer of the 84th Academy Awards after Ratner made a series of offensive comments. The Academy's statement.
