Peace to the things you left undone
the book abandoned, scarf half-knit
The call you meant to make
the friendship never rekindled
The time you did your hair
& then stayed home
Peace to things
that made no difference
in the end
& those
that may have
Peace to the never knowing
When I think about the many trans and non-binary people who have enriched my life and given me a greater understanding of humanity, I feel sorry for JK Rowling and anyone else who may not have such people in their life.
There is absolutely no place for TERFs here. Treating trans people with dignity saves lives. Transphobia kills. I don't care if you understand or not. There is no "just an opinion." Transphobia is violence and there's nothing radical about it.
R.I.P. Stephen Hawking. Among his many profound contributions to this world was this simple sentiment: “It would not be much of a universe if it wasn’t home to the people you love.”
Thanksgiving break is such a tease bc college is like “hey go home and spend time with your family, but come back and take 6 exams, write 4 papers and have 3 presentations done in two weeks”
if you are a young writer, or an old writer, or a “I’m not sure if I’m a writer” writer: keep writing. keep reading. keep exploring. keep going to museums and playing and painting and singing and re-imagining the world.
please.
