I will be 1000% honest, this human is like 85% of the reason I drift over to the book of faces now & then. This human legit changed my life by giving me the tools to solve the medical mystery that had been plaguing me for 8+ years.

We have to remember that the American public being misinformed and lacking knowledge of what’s happening right now is only their fault *to an extent*
Our entire media ecosystem has been purchased and controlled by billionaires and oligarchs.

I think what anti-SW people really object to about "sex work is work" isn't what it implies about sex work but what it implies about all other work
There's something really ominous about people who argue that if we acknowledge that sex work is work, we're opening the door to legalized sexual harassment.
Why would you think sex workers not being criminals means you can force someone into sex acts at any workplace, including SWs workplaces?

My 2nd therapy session today since 02/2024. I have this bad habit of intellectualizing my feelings & trying to think away hard emotions AND I really NEED to create joy in my life so I don't lose myself in the pit of despair that is OUR/MY reality so we created a realistic gratitude practice

I was NEVER a grade grubber but sometimes when I've accomplished lots of my to-do list I like to give myself a grade. Today I tackled 19/21 work tasks so I got an A-. Today was also my 1st day at 80mg #Atomoxetine AND MOST IMPORTANTLY I picked up my son's testosterone rx for his 1st shot tomorrow!!!

Enormously grateful that I was able to purchase 5 bookcases for #ThePeoplesLibraryABQ. My partner is putting them together & then I'll start bringing all the books up from the basement & shelving them. Spread the word to #Albuquerque and beyond, the Library is back up & running!

I used a motorized cart today for grocery shopping for the 1st time in my life. Having been fat my whole life & hearing the shitty #Fatphobic AND #Ableist shit people say about fat people using them, I've always been too afraid to use one. But today the pain was worse than the fear of vitriol.

Amika (my service dog in training) doesn't understand that I cannot play tug-o-war on the days that my hands hurt too badly to grasp and jerk and tug so she just keeps bringing me another of her fave tug-o-war toys, shoving it in my knee or belly or face until she gives up, only to try another one 😭

When I moved from my last house, the landlord decided to change the locks early with all of my bookshelves still inside. All of #ThePeoplesLibraryABQ books had been packed & moved but have been in boxes since because I can't afford 6 new shelves. Can you help?
