I spend Christmas Day serving dinner at the Genesis Club in Worcester. The Genesis Club's mission is to help persons in recovery from mental illness attain employment, education, physical health, and decent housing.

I am a therapist and I work with marginalized individuals of all genders, sexualities and relationship setup. I volunteer for a trauma network who treat individuals, for free, after major traumas like the Boston Marathon bombing, shootings, and fires. I like to smile at people when shopping and make eye contact. It tends to make them smile.

Why are you participating?

People have lots of stereotypical beliefs of therapists. We are this blank slate that people come to when vulnerable and sometimes powerless.

I do talks on the making of classic films for senior residences and groups.

Why are you participating?

Well, one label that affects me is "science fiction" (which is similar to but not the same as your listing of "science fantasy"). I am a fan, a panelist at conventions, and the author of several published books and short stories.

I foster baby kittens who have lost their mothers.

Why are you participating?

We often forget how incredible and multifaceted people can be when we only interact with them in one dimension. I'm honored to be a part of something that reminds people.

I always carry protein bars to hand out to anyone in need. Last week, I gave one to a homeless man who yelled to his friend across the street and tossed him half the bar. Made me smile :)

Why are you participating?

The best way to decrease intolerance is to educate and create awareness. I think this is a great cause, and an excellent way to help people see beyond one's immediate appearance.
