I live a fairly boring social life, believe it or not. I go out one night a week and do community organizing a few evenings or weekends a month. I have so much fucking tea right now and I cannot talk about it openly but this is fucking drama like the Eddas, spanning decades.

When I was deep in dysphoria and denial, I walked around and did work thinking “this is the body that gets on the bus and gets my mind to be with students and get learning done”. I did not pay attention to my body because I was checked out. That was disassociation. I didn’t want to notice.
