My body has felt stuck in fight or flight for the last few weeks and I've finally made that connection. The goal now? Seek safety. Prioritize regulation and rest. Breathe. Look to the light. I have everything I need. Believing that is hard sometimes. The noise is noising.

“In general, lives seem to veer abruptly from one thing to another, to jostle and bump, to squirm. A person heads in one direction, turns sharply in mid-course, stalls, drifts, starts up again. Nothing is ever known, and inevitably we come to a place quite different from the one we set out for.”

hey john, whats your favorite taste? or smell? or activity to do? lot of misinformation on tumblr about this and i want the truth

Hi, pissbong. Thank you for your questions.

My favorite taste is coffee, especially coffee that donates 100% of its profits to battling the global maternal mortality crisis.

My favorite smell is freshly ground coffee beans sourced directly from small farmers' collectives in Colombia.

My favorite activity is reading about the history of human responses to tuberculosis. The ways we symbolize illness have such a profound effect on the ways we understand and treat illness. Can we even REALLY say that the 100 million people who died of TB between 1951 and 2022 died as a result of tuberculosis?

For all that time, TB was usually curable and could also frequently be prevented through safe housing conditions and adequate nutrition. And so is TB *actually* caused by a bacteria, or is it actually caused by the injustice baked in to human-built systems that value some lives over others, and do not accept that universal access to healthcare, housing, and nutrition must be acknowledged as human rights?

sometime in the near future you will wake up at 3AM beside the person you love most in the world; wearing next to nothing, you will touch their cheek and they will sleepily pull you closer. the sky will be pink and gold and reflecting onto your love’s bare back. you will feel safe and secure.

Relax wild one. It’s not your job to be everything everyone needs, and you don’t have to be impressive to be loved. Stop trying so hard. Just show up … and be real with the world. That is enough.
