There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"
as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

Hi folks,
As some of you know, I'll be getting my gender affirmation surgery at the start of July. I'm very excited and quite nervous, and also it's going to cost me roughly nine quadrillion dollars, so I've got a donation drive going for anyone who would like to help out.

1/3
Support Josie's Gender Affirmation!
Well, the time has finally come for me to go and get my big gender-affirming surgery. This is a big step, but it’s one that’s been coming for a while and one I’m really excited about!

The majority really don't understand what it's like to be housebound. The one good thing about the pandemic was no longer feeling pressure or guilt to go outside. The world wants everyone to "get back to normal" but won't make it accessible for those who need it.
2 weeks into stay at home orders … someone said to me “is this what your life is like all the time? I had no idea.”

I felt so seen. Quietly frustrated that it took a global pandemic for them to empathize… but seen.

Imagine my shock when these same folks decided staying home was “too awful” 🧵
