Came here to ask this. Is my passport still valid to use for travel later this month? Kinda freaked out trying to figure out if I need to cancel my Thanksgiving plans.

Also check out this music video I animated for one of her songs a few years back! 👀

At least our wedding anniversary was Earth Day. That's a lot easier to deal with 😂

It was in response to this poem (YouTube comment, don't worry about it, they're blocked) open.substack.com/pub/mxorijay...

Part of what turned me away from religion was this, and part of it was New Age people appropriating and twisting my specific ancestral culture all the time. 🫠 (Why does everyone pick on the Maya? I have no idea. Even the Mormon church that I was raised in does it!)

Why are you calling me out like this lol

Thank you, I needed this

You have more power than you realize. Use it.

Make the difficult choice. It will be hard. And it may hurt you professionally. But the cost of doing nothing will be others who have less privilege losing their lives.

But the reality is, most mental health workers are cisgender white women. They are completely unprepared for what is currently happening. Remaining neutral is not an option. If you do nothing to fight oppression, you are complicit.

I went back to school to finish my bachelor’s in my mid-30s specifically so that I could help other trans people and people of color who were trapped in this system. I already knew exactly how fucked we were, and what kind of difficult choices I would have to make.

I am in this field because I could not find therapists who shared my lived experience, or resources that would allow me, as a transmasculine person, to escape domestic violence.

It was so tone-deaf considering the actual makeup of my classes. I am in this field because I am queer, I am indigenous, I am neurodivergent, and I have survived horrific trauma.
