I know I been quieter around these parts lately. Truth is I'm entirely burnt the fuck out, I've hit a wall, and I could use some help getting back up.

I wouldn't say 2026 has been kicking my ass *exactly*, but it has shaken me up and wrestled me down to the ground and forced me to take a real honest assessment of my current capacity, which is basically: null. I'm having trouble feeding myself regularly and keeping myself clean and somewhat verbally coherent, let alone apply to grants & fellowships/step into entrepreneurship/return to regularly writing/do any of the things I intended to spend 2026 doing, to date.

Fact is between shit like fleeing anti-trans legislation in my former home of North Carolina, the traumatizing ending of my last job, navigating family estrangement, the death of my hashtag (#YourSlipIsShowing) co-creator, getting my health together for gender affirming surgeries and the fun discoveries that have come with that process (hello fibroids!!), getting my mental health together and the exhausting process and even more fun discoveries that come with that (hello ARFID, hello OCD!!), watching my work with #YourSlipIsShowing be erased in real time via misgendering (sometimes thoughtless sometimes intentional), a couple of COVID infections, and discovering that the Epstein horror actually touches me directly twice over, one of them being the guy's role in the founding of the site that spurred the need for #YSIS in the first place..............yeah. Mans (me) is burnt out.

Thoroughly. Like I can’t even fake it no more.

@so_treu I'm sorry, fam. I know I'm a random on the internet, but I just want to let you know: You don't deserve this. This is Hell and it's ok to be burnt out.

I know that doesn't fix it, but I just want to validate you here, because that's fuck ton of shit to be on your plate. I hope you get some time to slow down and reflect in the near future. You deserve peaceful moments.
