Things will be different soon. Already, as one born with girl parts, life borders on terrifying. I carry pepper spray everywhere, now. My false sense of safety, my choice.
No, I don't want to talk about it.
Nobody does, it seems. We are quiet, waiting, possibly even ignoring. Resting up for whatever it is we will need to resist in the years to come.
Staying present, for the present is really all we have.

About the pepper spray, I don't have lady parts, but I'm also considering of buying one small can to bring in my back pack, specially when I take public transportation to the city center late in the day. Stay safe, my friend
Safety is good. Feeling safe also good for the mind and soul.
Pilot is blushing from all the praise.
I wasn't born with girl parts. I carry a gun every day. Boy parts do not make one immune to suffering violence. Violent crime rates may be far lower than they were 30+ years ago, but we are out own first responders no matter what.
FOrtunately I also have this ferocious guard dog to protect me.
Still planning to visit the Spokane Ice Ribbon?
I am, but I don't know if it's going to be over the Turkey weekend... I'd like to, though. We don't have any freestylers in my city so I have to drive to find them even though they're a bunch of kids that could care less about some woman twice their age jumping half as high as they can.
I have felt like that too... but now I just think that I am free, that I can do anything, that there is beauty because I am there and when I walk or cycle the colours appear... and then I am invisible and I am more awake from the inside.
I'm not going to deny that every day is not rosy. But it's the ego, which I have to silence.
Love to Pilot.
A hug? Or are you not in the mood?
Los abrazos virtuales son bien. O estan. Ay, aqui en la vida de laptop no hay acentos y a las 2:30 de la manyana no tengo ganas profundas de google la gramatica corrrrrecta.
Mostly I am free and alert to the nature around me and don't think about the pepper spray in my pocket. I've always carried it on walks pero desde "your body, my choice," and with el cheeto's hatred of Portland, me siento un poco paranoica y un poco... ill. I don't think enferma is the right word, nor mala. Mas como that sinking sick feeling in the stomach that aligns with fear. Dime, que es esta palabra que busco?
I don't know the single word... I think it's understandable that in the face of an escalation of violent events and hatred around you, you feel that way. You just have to take precautions, but without becoming obsessed.
Yes, definitely not into getting obsessed or doom scrolling. I'm one of those jerks that doesn't watch the news. I can't.
