Hello, reader. How are you doing? Did you read my post about pain, a while back? It includes a list poem. I enjoyed thinking about my pain and cataloging it. Afterward I remembered many pains that didn’t make it to the list. And there’s something else I wanted to tell you about introception. Also pain… Read More »
Hello, reader. How you doing? I was at a disability justice workshop, which I loved. In a quiet moment, they asked us to list our access needs. It was fun, and I wrote a lot. Reading over what I wrote, I notice three main categories. I’d like to show my list to you. Maybe you… Read More »
Hello, reader. How’ve you been? Thank you for sharing my prayer, this morning. Dear Mother God, Thank you for all of our copious blessings, copious like bleeding. Thank you for the gift of life, and miraculous days to live in. We love this wild world, with its forest shadows, river movement, lemon bars, wacky conversations… Read More »
I saw a red candle at a special store, in the witchy area, and I wanted it. The candle was designated for courage. I need more courage in my life–the courage to stick with difficult situations through hard times, being myself steadfastly, staying honest always, even when I’m scared. When I’m scared, that’s the only… Read More »

I’m happy to have freedom. I’m unfortunate to be disabled, but very fortunate to have a life without paid working. Freedom… Read More »

So I’m familiar with slut feelings. Mostly slut feelings for me are about overwhelm and guilt. Slut feelings are not relaxing. … Read More »
Hello, reader. How are you? I’ve embarked on a year of being kind to my body. I always want to be kind to my body, but this year is extra. A long struggle is coming to a close, something I haven’t talked about at all on his blog or in a zine. The struggle was… Read More »
Hello, reader. How are you? I’ve heard how healing isn’t linear. But I was thinking how liberation isn’t linear either. It came up because I was in the kitchen with Ming, and he was wearing his glasses when his glasses were not helpful to him. His glasses don’t help him, for seeing up close. “Can… Read More »
Hello, reader. How are you? I was asking Ming which of my needs he helps meet. That was a cool conversation. He told me some ideas that surprised me. One surprise was my need for someone safe to project onto. projection Ming is the person who taught me that so much of social interaction is… Read More »
