Here's hoping you have an excellent New Year! :-) p.s. You already know that my "body politics" are pretty similar to yours, and I think you're right to use your body in any way that empowers you. "By any means necessary" means using *every* tool at your disposal! All the Best, A Hi Rachel -

I’m very glad to hear you’re taking some time for yourself, and focusing on better things than getting dragged down by negativity and trouble with others. Here’s hoping you have an excellent New Year! :-)

All the Best,

Their thoughts and actions are truly worthless, but I imagine it's hard to ignore them when they know where your wounds lie. I wish you all the best in your recovery -- I think you've made a healthy, positive decision for yourself. Happy new year and hope to see you back creating music again soon. Hey Rachel,

I wish you all the best in your recovery — I think you’ve made a healthy, positive decision for yourself.

Happy new year and hope to see you back creating music again soon.
