It's a hybrid. Podcast and writings...

I have much more to write about it, but I'm in the middle of writing a book that I went on the Camino to get some space from.

More will be revealed... not answers, but more.

One of the reasons it's hard for me to listen to podcasts is because I know so much information about this case, which has been difficult and is really the precipitating event leading to finally walk the Camino De Santiago.
I head out on a plane to embark on this less than 36 hours.

This isn't a perfect podcast but they have many things right, but still don't love parts of it where they share information about Kathleen that is harmful and personal information about Veronica that was unnecessary.

I looked at their credits and sources and they read a few things I wrote.

I'm always hesitant to listen to anything to do with BS because so many podcasts get it wrong, share untrue information or otherwise sensationalize and make it something it wasn't. It really frustrates me when they victim blame and further harm the victims of this man.

Looks like PDX is still a Cease It city, and another sting just happened. The DA is fully on board with this - and gets a lot of support from non-profits like Safety Compass. Check out the names on this list.

Portland...what's going on? There are so many badass sex worker activists in Portland I'm surprised these cops are pulling this shit.

If someone like me can be honored with this award, then I can damn well do the Camino de Santiago.

Journalists offer regular, outstanding examples of fortitude to spotlight, but often unsung heroes outside the working profession distinguish themselves by assisting the press, the government, academia, business and/or others in protecting First Amendment rights.

Activists. Advocates.

Here's a picture of me with the First Amendment Award from the Alaska Press Club I received this month.
What is that?
The Alaska Press Club honors the outstanding performance of an individual, group, project and/or organization for contributions to the cause of First Amendment values.

I don't have all the answers but you know what? I don’t need them to begin.

I’ve questioned everything...am I too old? No.
Too out of shape? Kinda.
Too broke? No.
Too scared? Maybe.

I’m done being afraid and unable to make a decision. I've been learning Spanish.
I got my tickets. I’m doing the Camino in June.

Knowing that the Schengen areas are going to be implementing ETIAS shortly (very similar to the ETA) I can only assume my travel will be denied at that time.

I don't want to regret missing my chance.

My sex trafficking charge has impacted my life in many ways. It hasn't stopped me from living my life to the fullest. I'm priveledged and I don't forget that. In spite of that bullshit charge.
