i'm going to be going on holiday¹ next week for the first time since like.... before the pandemic. cool and scary.

1. less than an hour's drive from where i live lol

i think i'd be a lot happier if i stopped talking to cis people about trans stuff and stopped talking to (physically) abled people about (physical) disabilities. i always just seem to end up educating them or getting told i'm overreacting when i point out a microagression. and it's tiring, i don't want to be doing this my whole life. i barely have energy for myself, let alone to also educate people and then be expected to comfort them bc they said/did something transphobic/ableist.

always an Experience to watch well-meaning cis people post stuff about that olympic boxer that's like "she's a WOMAN, not a man, not transgender" or "she is a BIOLOGICAL WOMAN". ik you're well-meaning but those can come across as pretty transphobic on their own. especially the "she's a woman, not trans" shit. lmao.

It’s hard to get donations from visitors because unseeing is essential to a fantasy of west Cornwall. If you know local children are living in insecure, mould-slaked housing and eating from food banks, it’s harder to follow your own paths into its dreamworlds. Cornwall is increasingly sold as a wellness destination, and if you have pity for others, you have less for yourself.
