The world is fucking crazy. Capitalism causes most of the trauma that leads to addiction. Now capitalism is co-opting addiction recovery, which must require behavior in direct opposition to capitalist goals, to create more trauma and keep feeding itself. There is a level of disassociation from yourself and particularly your body that capitalism requires. You … Continue reading Cycle of addiction
Thrive – for TDOR 2018
I gave this speech in 2018 at the Universalist Unitarian church in Chattanooga, TN in honor of a Transgender Day of Remembrance service. I still read it for comfort. "I look around this room and I see the descendants of the bravest people to ever live. Our heritage is loud and disruptive. We all know … Continue reading Thrive – for TDOR 2018
Useless Knowledge
For four weeks and three days I have tried to figure out what I did wrong. What I did that could possibly have warranted completely disregarding every guideline we had set for if things got bad in our marriage. Warranted disappearing without a word or explanation, without being willing to discuss for two weeks if … Continue reading Useless Knowledge

If your dad … Continue reading Come on, Sean

Mainly I have queer folks in my life and mainly we all got shafted pretty bad by our dad/s. Single parents don't generally stop dating so it stands to reason after … Continue reading The Worst Holiday
Happy Dead Soldier Day!
How can and does the human psyche, especially at such a young age, protect itself from the heightened threat of danger to someone who is supposed to be a part of your life forever? Of all the funding and medical research that is done to attempt to repair the damage that military services does to soldiers, almost none of it goes to repairing their families, particularly the children who had no say in our parents' career choices.
“Hello, Samantha, dear, I hope you’re feeling fine”
Being separated from a loving parent is traumatic enough.
Ultimately believing that you are being separated from a parent who is happier without you around is worse.
Trans Youth Suicide Prevention
Human beings like to say that we have this shared experience called love. Most of the words ever written were written trying to describe what love is and what it’s like and who can experience it and what kinds are more morally virtuous than others and what kinds are unconditional and what kinds you experience … Continue reading Trans Youth Suicide Prevention
