“I feel like a pimp when I wear this shirt,” I told Ming.  I was wearing my new purple / lavender shirt–synthetic, swirly, and warm.  “In a good way.  Maybe not an actual pimp–the aesthetic.  Lesbian farmer pimp.” It got winter-like here, and I needed some warm clothes.  I found this shirt in the dude… Read More »

power trip

Hello, this song Power Trip by Klassy matters to me a lot.  I thought you might enjoy it.  Usually music videos don’t make me cry.  Am I having PMS, or is this really sad?  How about both. It’s about kids in cages, ICE, immigration, safety, racism, love of family.  The system is on a power… Read More »

other cultures

“Other cultures are not failed attempts at being you,” is a quote I like.  Often I feel like a failed attempt at doing culture.  It could be an autism thing, or just having different values and skills.  Disability is isolating and hard in so many ways. Do you feel like a successful member of your… Read More »
