who only by moving can balance

I can't get even partly adequate words for how much I admire you. Words and deeds: so many times I've seen you create and maintain spaces where other people can support eachother and be a community. This extremely timely and well-moderated love meme, of course, but DW volunteering and vaginapagina and Lashings and the way you moderate your journal so that a huge spectrum of people feel safe to converse there. You're an amazing educator, whether it's the teaching that's actually part of your job or your sex education volunteering or explaining how to navigate the medical system as well as explaining to the medical system what it's like not to be their default idea of a patient. I think that's part of the same thing, in a way: you make it safe for people to learn from eachother as well as teaching them. Just lately your posts about DBT work have been really enlightening, and that fits in with lots of your other posts where you make your learning and your visibility into powerful ways to help other people.
