Altered States

Word To The Wise

“When disrobing in preparation for a shower de-skunking, if you place those clothes into a plastic bag, tie it off and suspend it out from the towel rack away from contacting anything until reclothed again.

Then, take it outside and toss it someone neutral near the garbage can (no, I’m not going to mess with smell further by trying to wash the items – you can choose your own adventure if you walk into a cloud of fresh skunk spray.)

Don’t throw it into the can until right before garbage is due to be picked up if you want to not have that smell long term further imprinted.”

Lack Of Buffers

“I value autonomy in that it keeps people out of my business and retains dignity.

Having to explain and prove my circumstances to qualify for assistance increases the feeling of vulnerability.

I know that connection could expand feeling part of community.

I just prefer participating on more equal terms.”
