Decided to head to the North Georgia mountains to escape the city / suburbia and focus on relaxation, recovery, and debauchery. My thoracic outlet syndrome came back with a vengeance a couple weeks ago, so I have been a bit less active as I have had to minimize my time using my phone and typing to not continue aggravating the injury. Off bed rest and back to light exercise, but awaiting doctor's appointments as yoga and my fav PT YouTubers keep me functioning.
Forgot to pack a dildo and the closest 24 hour sex shop was wayyy too far away, so I had to improvise. I've seen a few porns with pool cues used, but never solo play, and anatomically I now understand why. It actually felt better than expected though. Unfortunately, OnlyFans says that the full video is not allowed because βan object is used in a way that may cause bodily harm.β Going to set up a Telegram group, Drive, or some other solution so that OF can stop impeding my sexual liberation. Anyways, this throw pillow was screaming "Ally", so from Valentina. "Welcome to the Cabin!"
If the owner of this AirBnB sees this, I would say sorry, but I literally have no respect for people that profit off real estate investments when 60-70% of Americans live pay check to pay check and the number of empty non-primary residences (aka investment properties) more than triple the number of Americans living with housing instability. "Landlords are people too." Yes, but in the vast majority of cases, morally unscrupulous people who are comfortable using their privilege of capital to exploit those without capital to ensure those without capital continue to struggle (and not amass capital).
My subscription fee starts this March, and I have decided that until I get my own NGO or CRO off the ground (hopefully 2025!), I will be donating at least 20% of my after-tax proceeds, split evenly between local non-profits and civil rights organizations.
Non-profit #1: Lost-n-Found Youth
"Lost-n-Found Youth is an Atlanta-based nonprofit organization that provides services to LGBTQ+ Youth experiencing homelessness." LGBTQ youth are 120 percent more likely than their heterosexual or cisgender peers to be homeless (Urban Institute, 2019). As an Atlanta native and researcher on systemic inequalities, I cannot emphasize enough how necessary organizations like Lost N Found are given how lackluster government-sponsored social services are for marginalized groups.
Civil Organization #1: The Southern Center of Human Rights
Since we also criminalize homelessness, disenfranchise voters, and overlook blatant ethical atrocities like overseeing your own election (cough Brian Kemp), I will be donating to the Southern Center of Human Rights. "The Southern Center for Human Rights is working for equality, dignity, and justice for people impacted by the criminal legal system in the Deep South. SCHR fights for a world free from mass incarceration, the death penalty, the criminalization of poverty, and racial injustice."
Still TBD if I will be adjusting these monthly or until I have reached a set fundraising goal, but please DM or comment any of your favorite NGOs and/or Civil Rights Organizations that are fighting to address systemic inequalities. Naturally, the more financial support I receive from you, the more your input will be taken into consideration. If you are financially insecure, send me a DM. I have other ways to support my endeavors.
A year ago, I re-read and studied two essays by Roxane Gay that made me realize that I needed to dedicate my talents to telling stories that sway public opinion and demand radical social and economic progress. This post is already a lot longer than intended, so I won't expand too much on the importance on quotes to me, but I will say as a writer, I keep a quote bank on quotes that have left a permanent imprint on me to inspire my creations. Here are three quotes from some of the most brilliant and compassionate minds that will never seize to inspire me. They also all happen to be black literary geniuses.
"No one is coming to save us. Before we can figure out how to save ourselves from this travesty, we need to sit with that, too." - Roxane Gay
"The truth is, no one of us can be free until everybody is free." - Maya Angelou
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." - MLK Jr.
If you've made it to the end of this post, you're a real one. Happy Black History Month and thanks for being a loyal fan!
