I don’t mourn my best friend’s straightness because it’s gross and she’s going to hell for kissing men…
but because when I haven’t heard from her 12 hours after a date, I think about the statistical likelihood that she’s been murdered.
The trauma and tragedy of George Floyd’s murder must never leave us. It was a manifestation of a system that callously devalues the lives of Black people.
The two categories of my exes
1. they’re married and/or have cute kids and good for them/would say hello in passing maybe even hug
2. they’re adult bed wetters with a pet opossum/would spit in their general direction if given the opportunity
