I love the false starts at the beginning. I know they were scripted, but they feel authentic.
She's a fire sign like yours truly. Leo, not a Sag, but still I feel solidarity when she's spinning. Also, typically nothing is really scripted with fire signs. Oh this isn't working, light it up. You put hours, weeks, decades of work in? Oh well, it will burn so big, step back.
It's really tricky writing right now. It is a small thing to complain about. I am grateful my complaints are small. By and large, me and mine are doing well. I wish to share that, believe that I have readers who wish to know that; and also I wish not to be insensitive to those who can not say the same.
Last week there was a post that was up for an hour, sharing in more detail the things that are going well. Then Dahlia called, her son tested positive. You didn't know she had kids? Ya we hear that often. She applies the first rule of adult spaces even fiercer than myself. My let's help people take their minds off of things post? Ya fuck that noise, it burns.
Do something, help your friend. There aren't accurate terms for who Dahlia is to me. You wouldn't understand and if you do I don't need to explain. And what can I do? I'm 600 miles away, with my own children. I could get in the car. I could be there.
And do what exactly?
The only things I could do really could be best done from here. Hold space, listen and even when it is hard, trust that things will work out for the best.
And when I couldn't be there, http://swopnh.org, Ashley Fires and the many volunteers that I do not know by name yet, showed up. Swop is an outreach program, and Ashley is a devoted, amazing, tirelessly working member of our community. Who is at the statehouse challenging laws, who is putting together a mental health crisis outreach program of sex & kink friendly providers, and who is providing weekly financial support and comfort to dozens of women in the adult industry, and our families. Because we don't talk about them, that's the first rule of adult spaces, right? But we have them and as much as we devoted as we are to our community, that is dwarfed by the devotion we have to those we do not mention here.
Today Dahlia's son tested negative.
This moment we are each experiencing from our own unique point of view is and will continue to change our community and our lives. There aren't many ways that we can direct how that will unfold, but in whatever ways that I can, I wish to lean on pushing positive changes.
Cool kids support their friends' projects. I have been saying that since I was a junior domme, a hundred million years ago. Before typically I was suggesting you stop being scared to go to fetish events, buy sexy art and come have fun. It wasn't a hard sale.
I made a decision this weekend to begin donating a 10th of my profits back to the community. I was all excited and full of ego that that's a thing I can do now. Then I remembered what 10% of what I earn is and I was less impressed with myself. This isn't about being impressed with myself, this is about showing up and meaningfully supporting our community. You know what's way more impressive than my bank statement? My contact list, I am friends with the best of the best. The artists, the creators, those who know how to make things happen and those who show up to insure that it does.
It'll take a minute to make this grow properly, but hey we have the time on our hands right? I started with https://www.etsy.com/shop/WhyBeeNormal because she's amazing. I text, "I'm going to do a thing." Then I start tapping keys to explain it, this is going to take a minute, and ping, Pix has said, "I'm in, what are we doing?". I love my community, and I am so blessed to know the people I know. So we're going to start with, I sent Pixy a PayPal this morning. Pixy matched it, and we're shipping Ashley a collection of Pixy's beautiful work to add to this week's care packages that are being delivered. I have another friend who will join us next week.
By and large things are going well for me and mine. I'm packing up this cottage by the ocean we have spent the past month in, heading to a cabin in the mountains so I can more easily navigate an interstate move in the middle of a pandemic.
It may take a moment to start properly, but another fire sign trait is to just jump in where you are and figure out the details as needed.
