the genius of Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own” is that if you slowed it way down it would be devastating. but the true genius is how she masks the pain (thinly) with the language of pop. in this very outdated essay I will

Prison guards rushing to take jobs with ICE. Almost like all of this is connected. I wonder which people have been making this case for a few decades.

I’m noticing ageism more, which means that I’m aging. But I love having gray hairs, lines, worn parts. I like getting older bc I didn’t think I would. All to say, happy trans day of remembrance. Every trans person deserves to grow really fucking old.

Taught creative writing in a high school today, and a student wanted to share her poem, but was too shy, so she asked her friend to read it for her instead, and it was absolutely fucking adorable, anyway, love is real.
