if you've been reading my journal and you aren't a "livejournal friend" let me know. we'll work something out. i'm trying to write again, at least, that is, i wrote some today, but i'm posting it as friends only. no filters, for now.

totally can't focus at work at all. way too blissed out about pw. no anxiety about anything -- makes it difficult to get my head around whatever it is i should be doing. i've got forty five minutes before i need to start preparing for our afternoon group. so i'll give up trying to read the voice, pretending to clean my desk or any of the other ( Read more... )

life is fantastic and good. quiet day, cleaning the house. gina and khalil came over; it was really sweet to have them here. nothing particular to report.

a comrade at work made a comment expressing some ambivalence about coalition building as an organizing model. she asked me what i thought. both of us working in hiv/aids policy activism in nyc. here's my response:

my lack of sleep is starting to edge up. just finished with the second group today. soon i'll go home, watch an episode of buffy, eat some soup and pass out. i feel really content, really good. pw's anxieties about her own transphobia (in my lj comments) are heavy, but i think they are well-cradled by a degree of courage, commitment and ( Read more... )

just reread the 22 pages i wrote years back.

it's decent. good enough, certainly, to work with. i need to do some rethinking of the political economy of the world. but i like it.

did some editing.

now shower, lunch, meditation and back to do some outlines of the whole narrative structure.
