hi guys. I wrote about RJ and also about the contradictions I face as a disabled activist. I would appreciate it if you gave "Left Turn" a read πŸ₯Ή

wala mi miga nga nangutana ngano nag-away mi. or siya ra'y gipangutana. either way, mayra sad kay wala man sad ko'y ikatubag. wala man ko niya gi-explainan, gipahuwat ra ko'g usa ka tuig para sa "call" para amo unta hapsayon unya wala niabot. wala na man ko'y lugar sa iya
