It's been an intense few weeks. Been offering up space to some other folks in the community and we've been working through some heavy shit. Feels good to be living polyamory as mutual aid, something I've always believed in but hadn't yet implemented to the level I wanted.

I'm also experiencing some really major improvements with fibromyalgia for a few reasons. I've been able to get to the gym a lot more, and having the equipment there to get my joints back in place is helping a lot. Still can't make my way through a workout without feeling really out of place and dysphoric and I'm sure I'm glowering at everyone but nobody's given me shit yet and I doubt they will. I also definitely didn't hear this many dudes before I transitioned at the end of their sets loudly announcing "87... 88... 89..." and racking their weights like they're benching the earth itself.

Psilocybin has also changed things significantly and microdosing has been helping so so much. So glad to have people who helped hook me up.
