I can’t stop thinking about the crew. Securing the cabin for landing, strapping into their jumpseats, grateful to be almost done with their day - to finally rest and have a hot meal. The things I do every work day. And then in an instant, just, gone.

It’s been a really rough 12 hours for flight crew in the US. We all know the risks of the job, but it’s hard to reckon with the worst case scenario actually happening. #unitedbywings

Freezing January day in Boston, and I’m in the parking garage in my dress and heels trying to fix my tire pressure. And all I can think is that I’m not this kind of lesbian.

This body is a good body, because all bodies are good bodies. Even when it’s unwieldy. Even when it feels like my body and brain are at war with each other. Even when embodiment feels anything but kind to me. This body is such a good body.
Here’s to 10 years in recovery.

Fascinated by the people on planes who hold onto their empty plastic cups when I’m coming through to collect waste as if it’s their emotional support trash

1 mechanical delay
Not enough sleep
No idea what time zone I’m in
A lot of gratitude for this whole wild ride

I got called away to work a 3 day trip and accidentally left my meds in Portland. Had a panic attack because I didn’t know how to get through work without them. But…instead of crashing all this fog in my brain lifted and I felt more myself than I’ve been in like a year??? Wacky.
