Wishing you rest and peace. As much as you need.

Chad Topaz Queer DEI Race Traitor @chadtopaz.bsky.social · 5d

With your encouragement, I took it easy yesterday and prioritized rest. And peace. I woke up full of moxy and am back to my usual state of happy disregard for my own well-being! Time to fight again!!! #DoingItRight ☕️🥊

A personal post: I am feeling it (it = the fatigue). Fighting all the time is exhausting. Giving myself permission to be an absolute shit human today and not care about anything but myself. Will fight another day, namely, tomorrow.
