Pt I Selected Works From My Drawing Final, Inspired By Transmission Towers

From a documentary about Akha people (an indigenous tribe to mountain forests in Thailand).

If you are trans and received piss poor care from Planned Parenthood in Los Angeles, please DM me.

Im looking to collect accounts from fellow trans people who experienced denial of care or dehumanization whilst receiving treatment at PP—it does not have to be related to gender affirming treatment. Any testimony about poor treatment or misgendering is important.

A lot of people (rightly) support PP for their important work in reproductive justice but that doesn’t mean they are above reproach or that it excuses them from being shitty to marginalized people who come to them for care.

If you feel comfortable speaking to me, im looking to write and publish an article highlighting the perils of navigating the healthcare system as a trans person, specifically around reproductive healthcare and how entities like PP do little to improve their bedside manner/treat us with basic dignity and profit socially and financially because they gave us trans people a little healthcare as a treat. I want to stress that our conversations will remain confidential

We deserve better. We deserve to survive.

Offering Alcohol for the Ancestors

The choice of liquid depends on the nature of the libation, prayer and what your intention is when invoking/awakening the Ancestors.

Water is for cooling and healing and creating or reconciling relationships. Liquor is fiery and is usually used to rouse, cement, ignite, protect and perform strong purification. Wine is mid-way between the two and is good for friendly relations, creating a sweet bond between man and spirit.
