Belted out some Janis during karaoke last night, and the limitations from T were a challenge. As awkward as it was, it also proved euphoric.

Finally painted over the radioactive green walls. Virginia was right. There's a lot to be said about having a room of one's own.

Dorothy Allison once placed her hand on the small of my back while I read a poem. She also taught me the art of slitting a vein so honest words could land on a page. She said “I believe that storytelling can be a strategy to help you make sense out of your life,” and helped me make sense of mine.
Dorothy Allison, Author of ‘Bastard Out of Carolina,’ Dies at 75
She wrote lovingly and often hilariously about her harrowing childhood in a working-class Southern family, as well as about the violence and incest she suffered.

Don't get bogged-down in the news. Sleep enough, eat enough, REST enough, and seek some joy. Reinvest some time into hobbies.
Queer Fightback can only be accomplished when you have looked-after yourself: Queer Joy is Rebellion.
