overstep or try to identify too much with an experience they don’t really own – I’m thinking also of the posts about the politics and aesthetics of ~trashiness, which I feel complicated about… I understand on the one hand (as a sex worker, as a conscious rejection of Polite Society), on the other hand, it can run to feeling like trying a life on, you know? like rich kids shopping at Goodwill. people wear Mary Kay “for real” if that makes sense

Not trying it on, have no other realistic options for making a living that allows me to pay my medical bills, given my mental illness and education
