Awareness born of love is the only force that can bring healing and renewal. Out of our love for another person, we become more willing to let our old identities wither and fall away, and enter a dark night of the soul, so that we may stand naked once more in the presence of the great mystery that lies at the core of our being. This is how love ripens us -by warming us from within, inspiring us to break out of our shell, and lighting our way through the dark passage to new birth.

1. Saw the Untitled Feminist Show tonight at BAC (but produced? by PS122) with Heather and it was really funny, fun and provoking. Once I found out it was almost entirely movement-based I was a little dubious but it was a great queer/woman/faggot vulnerability affirming work. World Famous *BOB* and Becca Blackwell (my friends) were in it and were of course magical (*BOB* cradles her boobs, breaks down striptease, has a mock fight and Becca does a queer masculinities movement monologue that was so wonderful). The other actors were extraordinary, especially a comedic mimed castration fantasy sequence by Lady Rizo. And a giant naked human vacuum cleaner using five bodies. It was gender on stage and it was gorgeous. Like a long naked poem.

2. Seeing amazing art was great for me tonight. So was seeing Heather. Having a burger and a flight of beers with a bestie was what my tantrum having soul needed. This move is weighing stress on me financially and psychologically and I constantly have to remind myself that worrying about getting everything done is not actually going to get anything done. So I am trying to check out of that stress. Also we acted out the beer menu as we tasted the beers in the flight. I made a rooster noise for the rooster brew.

3. I also recognize I am coping personally with a lot of stress and change right now and it is really okay to want to throw a purse on the floor with all my might. 

4. I sent a multi-part email asking for help today and just asking was really helpful. Even if a third of the folks I asked can show up for an hour or two it will be a huge weight lifted off of me.

5. Tonight The World Famous *BOB* introduced me to an incredible downtown artist as a “talented performer, femmecee, show producer and also she’s a well-dressed lawyer.” Sometimes my life is so incredible I have to pinch myself.

“Partyman,” Prince. Now that I work a 9 to 5 (well, 10 to 6/7/8) I like to have rituals. Around 5pm I start listening to Prince. Today we’re listening to the Batman soundtrack. I think it helps make my law practice that much gayer.

Kaia Wilson’s has a Kickstarter for her new album!

fyeahqueermusic:

Thank you to knotsewtrashy for the heads up, because I hadn’t heard anything about this.

So. Kaia Wilson is making a new album. And we all love Kaia Wilson, right? Right. She needs to raise $1,700-ish dollars in 22 days to do it. Also, the video features her playing guitar with some goats, so check out the page just for that.

1. I think I am about 80% done with my packing. The kitchen is so close to being finished but I’m exhausted and I need to get newspaper.

2. I am so annoyed because I think I might not have enough boxes, but just by a little.

3. I could use help but even if I had help how could 2 people get around these box towers in this tiny apartment?

4. I still need to uninstall my closet rod on the wall. Probably going to happen after the big move on Saturday morning. 

5. Ran into the upstairs neighbor (who I’ve always thought was bad ass and she started talking about energy and release and all this witchy stuff and I was like “Omigod, how have we never had a real conversation like this before?”
