just a vent but it took me years after leaving my last neighborhood to find a mutual aid network in my new place - not because it was hard to find, but bc the personal energy to figure where to look, my own diminished use of social media, and my new relationship all distracted and slowed me. I finally find an energetic community. I figure out how I can contribute and show up. It takes another several months to work out the where-when details of my first action and I finally make Action 1 happen. Everyone is nice, it is easy to engage and just the right amount of interaction and labor to feel useful and integrated but not depleted. Today was supposed to be Action 2 and the air quality index is unsafe for sensitive groups and I am currently Sensitive. I cancelled. I’m mad mad. I will not let this 1 strike out keep me from coming back but I HATE to look flakey and I HATE that some people don’t have the option of staying inside when the air is bad and I HATE BEING A FUCKIN FLAKE WITH NO FOLLOW THRU and that this is happening bc of the earth being on fire. I feel rage and sadness and big feelings are bigger rn.

"It's like a hole in my life, an eight-year hole. That's what I find interesting in people's lives, the holes, the gaps, sometimes dramatic, but sometimes not dramatic at all. There are catalepsies, or a kind of sleepwalking through a number of years, in most lives. Maybe it's in these holes that movement takes place."

—Gilles Deleuze, On Philosophy
