polyamory

Hello, reader.  How are you doing?  Are you a monogamous person?  I see content on a social media website about polyamory.  People tell their dramatic relationship story for feedback.  It can stimulate a lot of thought, to ponder what I would do and read the comments. Usually I’m silent, but this morning I read someone’s… Read More »

disability is enforced poverty

Hello, reader.  How are you doing?  I’ve been thinking how disability is enforced poverty.  It’s brutal, and I hate it.  I have SSDI and food stamps, and I’m asked to make do on very little. But also, there are great parts.  Disability is a great builder of compassion.  I love disabled people, and I’m happy… Read More »

biomass energy

Hello, reader.  Do you know about biomass energy?  Someone wanted me to sign a petition online to restrict biomass energy.  They were saying that it makes harmful air pollution and noise pollution, and biomass energy plants are disproportionately harshing the lives of Black people.

period from hell

You know, I’ve been having my period (off and on) since I was ten years old.  That’s 38 years.  Can I be done now? In a way I’m afraid of menopause.  I’m… Read More »

mainstream medical care is eugenics

I was trying to figure out why medical care hurts so much.  There are many factors, such as a handover of power I’m supposed to do–I’m supposed to believe the doctor can handle the well-being of my body better than I can, which is incorrect.  There’s also trauma I carry from decades of medical harm. … Read More »

freedom over our bodies

Hello, reader.  How are you doing?  Wow, I didn’t post for a while.  I’m working on a novel for National Novel Writing Month, so that takes energy.  And I made a new zine (see below).  But mostly it was a mistake.  I have a few half-written posts I just haven’t finished.  This morning I got… Read More »

how to survive

Hello, reader.  How are you doing?  I’m thinking about how to survive.  I hope you feel my love through the computer.  It’s a good time for love.  I saw this meme that really spoke to me, though I don’t know its origins. If you think you love “freedom” but you don’t care if it applies… Read More »

questions to ask a health insurance broker

Hello, reader.  How are you doing?  This is not my resting bitch face, but it’s my crying by a pond face, which is related.  I want to tell you some questions to ask a health insurance broker.

creativity and health

Hello, reader.  How are you doing?  I was talking with my fam-friend about creativity and health, fatness, and how our feelings about our bodies affect how we treat ourselves.  That conversation sparked this post. love Bodies are so amazing: miraculous and varied.  Many fat people do neglect our bodies–it’s true.  But the dysfunction of our… Read More »
