loving people where they’re at

Hello, reader. How are you doing? I’ve been thinking about loving people where they’re at. Loving people where they’re at is my values. It reminds me of unconditional love.

invited

Hello, reader.  How are you doing?  I’m glad to be asked anywhere.  I’m rarely invited to any gathering, to the point that being invited to a party or workshop is cause for celebration.  I consider it carefully.

what I’m actually thinking

Hello, reader. How’s things? I was talking to a new friend yesterday.  Lately I’ve been meeting trans, queer, disabled, and crazy people I like.  I realized that in conversation, new folx who don’t know me yet are often wrong about what I’m actually thinking.
