I have a message from the land of pain. I night-traveled there. My back has been hurting, on the right side, parallel to my spine. Then sometimes a lot more hurts than that. I mean more parts of my back, and other parts of my body. My muscles get so ouched, I don’t know what… Read More »

A new friend asked how I handle big feelings. Great question. I will answer as honestly as I can. how I handle big feelings I talk to Ming about how I feel, emote to him, ask for feedback, explain intense situations related to the feelings.

meme
Hey, guess what. I was hanging out over zoom with some fantastic anarchists elsewhere. And we were thinking what to read next. So I made a list of my favorite things to learn and think about, in an anarchist study group kinda mode. I decided to share the list with you, reader, in case you… Read More »
addict’s prayer
Hey, I have been making more poetry memes. This new one “addict’s prayer” is a favorite. Mother God, please heal my fucked reward pathway. They’re very meaningful to me, but I get the feeling nobody cares. Well, probably like four people care. That’s cool. I wrote a full on addict‘s prayer poem last night, crying… Read More »
more ecstatic dance
Sunday I danced more ecstatic dance. I went the whole hour this time, and I felt I could go for another couple hours. A little foot pain, but my knees are great! I dance on a mat, a squishy mat. Smart, eh. Then I played my favorite song to dance to, on my own. It… Read More »

It was fun, the second hearing, to realize his Sunderstruck was Thunderstruck. I didn’t know the ACDC song. Then… Read More »

“Hey, honey.

Some intense transformation. “Yeah!” “But you’re a… Read More »

resting bitch face
Hey, I’ve been working on my resting bitch face. That means actually I’m working on the idea that I’m allowed to walk into the world for a purpose other than taking care of everyone else’s whims. I can walk into the world to see trees, get sunshine, run an errand, and the responsibility of the… Read More »
chin
“I dropped my computer on my chin,” I told Ming. “Aw!” he said. “Will you feel sorry for me?” “I feel sorry for you,” he said. “Writing injury!” I said, touching my chin. “I think I’m ok. What’s a chin for, anyway? To look cute? To hold my jaw on?” Ming mumbled something in the… Read More »
