IN CASE OF FIRE, USE THE STAIRS

I just want to say, this isn’t a piece meant to attack anyone AMAB or male ID’ing. My writing stems from my own past experiences and intrusive thoughts I deal with on a daily basis because of those experiences. More than anything, I wanted to write about the sinking feeling that comes with knowing you will be the last person out of the building, the slowest in a crowd. It’s a danger that people often aren’t forced to consider until they are disabled in some way themselves. Also, this is about just Being A Woman TM (one with OCD and anxiety) Hope this helps someone feel seen. Xo 💛

I’ve been thinking about the way, when you walk / down a crowded aisle, people pull in their legs / to let you by. Or how strangers still say “bless you” / when someone sneezes, a leftover / from the Bubonic plague. “Don’t die,” we are saying. / And sometimes, when you spill lemons / from your grocery bag, someone else will help you/ pick them up. Mostly, we don’t want to harm each other. / We want to be handed our cup of coffee hot, / and to say thank you to the person handing it. To smile / at them and for them to smile back. For the waitress / to call us honey when she sets down the bowl of clam chowder, / and for the driver in the red pick-up truck to let us pass. / We have so little of each other, now. So far / from tribe and fire. Only these brief moments of exchange. / What if they are the true dwelling of the holy, these / fleeting temples we make together when we say, “Here, / have my seat,” “Go ahead — you first,” “I like your hat.”

One day you think: I want to die. And then you think, very quietly, actually I want a coffee. I want a nap. A sandwich. A book. And I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friends, I want to sit in the sun. I want a cleaner room, I want a better job, I want to live somewhere else, I want to live.

all fanfiction is funnier and sexier and vastly better-written when you read it at three in the morning, in the dark, lying on your side, tucked into bed, with screen rotate turned off. that’s just how it works. that’s just facts.

if i give you a book i’ve annotated, you better take that shit as a bonafide marriage proposal

I am just like other girls, so cast me with the wretched creatures you call a woman

always kind of funny when you wake up from a dream and your first thought is "that symbolism was kind of heavy-handed wasn't it."
