At the trans group yesterday someone gifted me a new parasol with an articulated arm that can clip to my wheelchair so I can more safely go to Pride next weekend, and someone else offered to give me a lift AND push my chair so I can join that morning's march!

I've been in a pretty bad headspace (personally and politically) the last couple weeks but gosh my friends simply won't allow the world to be too terrible. I know so many wonderful people. I should try to treat myself as kindly as they do.
