so much every day. so much, especially now.

In my day to day: I want more snapshots of beauty, more poems I might not have found on my own, more texts from far away.

In my own struggle to heal: more allyship, more witnessing, more triumph and closure and amends and wholeness for us both.

In the struggle for justice: every day I want her beside in me the fight, and every day I'm glad she didn't live to witness this.

I am basically getting through this hard time with sex and avoiding the news. I worry it makes me a callous jerk, but I promise to stand up for the republic, I just, sometimes, have to lie down and put my head in the sand to get through the day.

It's really good sex, and it's giving me the energy to love all my people and go to protests.

I'm doing the same thing. Seeking pleasure and love to keep yourself going in the face of hate and oppression is not callous, it is wise. And nothing in the world is not made better by there being more really good sex.

Stress dreams

[anonymous]

I've been having almost nothing but stress dreams since the inauguration. They feature any number of things -- trying to travel and experiencing problem after problem, needing a bathroom desperately and being unable to find one, sick pets/family members...

It's exhausting and is more likely to make me fear sleep than straight-up nightmares. I've seriously had zombie dreams that are less exhausting than this.

I dreamed last night that I was with a huge crowd of people fleeing from... something, and then a train full of white guys with guns rolled up and started firing at us. It was terrifying. And I almost never remember my dreams.

It's been a pretty crappy few months, and an even crappier few weeks.

I've never really had nightmares, but I have them all the time now.
