I’m tired of the news. I’m tired of the way it makes things spectacular that aren’t, and deals so simplistically with what’s truly appalling. I’m tired of the vitriol. I’m tired of the anger. I’m tired of the meanness. I’m tired of the selfishness. I’m tired of how we’re doing nothing to stop it. I’m tired of how we’re encouraging it. I’m tired of the violence that’s on its way, that’s coming, that hasn’t happened yet. I’m tired of liars. I’m tired of sanctified liars. I’m tired of how those liars have let this happen. I’m tired of having to wonder whether they did it out of stupidity or did it on purpose. I’m tired of lying governments. I’m tired of people not caring whether they’re being lied to anymore. I’m tired of being made to feel this fearful.

i’m moving into my house for my final year at university tomorrow and term doesn’t start for nearly another whole month but time is moving too fast! and it’s just kind of hitting me how much this year matters if i want to do an MA and also packing is hell and i have too many things and it bothers me that my life isn’t easy to put away and move in a hurry. i’m really excited for this year tho i’m doing some really cool things academically and otherwise. anyway. that’s a life update because apparently i do those on here sometimes

fellas, is it gay to participate in capitalism? youre literally having your labor exploited by another man. idk, seems a little spicy to me.

Pain is everywhere and nowhere. Post-wounded women know that postures of pain play into limited and outmoded conceptions of womanhood. Their hurt has a new native language spoken in several dialects: sarcastic, jaded, opaque; cool and clever. They guard against those moments when melodrama or self-pity might split their careful seams of intellect, expose the shame of self-absorption without self-awareness.  I know these dialects because I have spoken them; I know these post-wounded narrators because I have written them. I wonder now: What shame are they sculpted from?

We may have turned the wounded woman into a kind of goddess, romanticized her illness and idealized her suffering, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t happen. Women still have wounds: broken hearts and broken bones and broken lungs. How do we talk about these wounds without glamorizing them? Without corroborating an old mythos that turns female trauma into celestial constellations worthy of worship?

This tiny man inspires me. He has pride, charisma, and joie de vivre. He’s going places in life. We should all strive to do the same.
