They*/she but "she" belongs to me. Use "THEY" ONLY.

(…) the lonelier a person gets, the less adept they become at navigating social currents. Loneliness grows around them, like mould or fur, a prophylactic that inhibits contact, no matter how badly contact is desired. Loneliness is accretive, extending and perpetuating itself. Once it becomes impacted, it is by no means easy to dislodge. This is why I was suddenly so hyper-alert to criticism, and why I felt so perpetually exposed, hunching in on myself even as I walked anonymously through the streets, my flip-flops slapping on the ground.

The entire history of women’s struggle for self-determination has been muffled in silence over and over. One serious cultural obstacle encountered by any feminist writer is that each feminist work has tended to be received as if it emerged from nowhere; as if each of us had lived, thought, and worked without any historical past or contextual present. This is one of the ways in which women’s work and thinking has been made to seem sporadic, errant, orphaned of any tradition of its own.

I bred dinosaurs, specifically Tyrannosauruses, in the hopes of making them docile enough to be kept as pets. I was very good at it, because touching their heads let me telepathically talk to them. I was also an avid gamer and a chemist. I had to make my own tranquilizers to put down my dinosaurs on rare occasions, and the way I did it let me have a couple more hours with them. Vex was a full grown lady dino, and i loved her with all heart. I was at a friend’s house, playing some street fighter game, and someone told me she was causing a disturbance. I thought, that couldn’t be my sweet Vex, so I went to investigate and it was her indeed. The reason she was making such a mess and destroying stuff was because she was in pain. She told me her body felt on fire, and “full of pricks from a million shredding teeth.” Obviously, I didn’t want my pride and joy to be in agony, so I had to mix up a special tranquilizer. It numbed her pain, and shrunk her down to the size of a large dog. She laid on my lap contentedly while I played Destiny 2, where I was just running around and showing her beautiful parts of the game. She was alive for 3 more hours, before I felt her last thought, which was for me, “Thank you, friend.” I cried. It was the first time any of my dinos had called me friend. I gave up right then and there on making dinosaurs cause I couldn’t go through it again.
