i also realise there's people who are gonna be like "you expect me to believe that tony tinystepsforward is 29, disabled, a sex worker of nearly a decade, worked at automattic for six years, and someone who does as much organising with local trans and prison abolitionist and sex worker spaces as they seem to imply" and frankly you can believe i'm lying if you want, that's your right, just block me or w/e you don't have to be here. but yes i do in fact both work to eat and work for a better world. i just happen to be the kind of person who really struggles with inertia and is always doing a million things. kiasu, as my singaporean friends still call me, though i don't think i fit the classic archetype there at all — it's not a fomo thing as much as a having poor judgement about the feasibility of the ways i want to be generous with my time and energy and skills. i'm working on it. i would like to learn how to rest.
#i first traded sex for material goods at fifteen so if i wanted to count those years i'd have been doing it way longer than that#but like. i moved in foss spaces enough that i got doxxed at sixteen. the local nazis know who i am.#terfs made fun of me publicly for needing financial support when i was unable to swork bc i had a genital precancer that needed surgery#i've been accused of planning murder in irl queer spaces by racists#you genuinely cannot kill me in a way that matters#and in that sense i am very grateful to be surrounded by as many tough and gracious and dedicated organisers as i am#resilience is not built in a vacuum it is cultivated through concerted effort that takes root in community#tony muses
