waxing

Soo I feel kinda sick, but Helena has made mention of a healing head massage, so I have confidence I'll heal. I just need to take vitamin C, drink water and sleep. Today was good. I got an A on a women's studies paper on the whiteness of heteronormative romance which was penned the day before it was due. I filled out one of those pink 'field of concentration' cards and I'm a bit confused as to why 25% of the work outside of my discipline actually looks to be about 75% of my courseload. However, I got to spend more than 2 hours talking about Butler in class with brilliant kids and my favorite professor. Then later I got to go to a meeting at Blegen for queer community political organizing, where Jami had my back and I actually had a sense of hope for queer politics here. And of course, a big success was the TwatChat Nicole and I cofacilitated on radical monogamy and polyamory; people had so much to say that we're gonna continue it next week. It's exciting. So all signs point to good, despite general feelings of being worndown and overwhelmed. As long as I stick right here in this moment and odn't think about all the work I didn't do today it's fine. Annnnd I also spoke with Rahn about trans stuff on campus and am heartened at the prospect of support and discussion on various gender troubles and institutional things. Talking about the trans, of course, leads me in several emotional directions I don't wanna go right now though, so instead I'll just send out the fact that I feel good genderwise right now, my body cold aside seems more or less healthy and strong, and plenty of uplifting things are moving around and through me. Is it a new moon?
