Truth.
If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.

The last photos I took of my boy before we decided to end his suffering. God I miss him. Good night, sweet prince. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

“Every photo a memory, every colour a scent, every smile a sound. A time with him that now has no meaning to anyone but you…Eventually you realize all the agony and grief was actually a blessing, because when your new man looks at you…you feel seen for the very first time.”

So excited to be a part of this issue. I wrote this piece when I felt broken, and writing it along with @jerrorberror made me feel whole.

“Maybe you are not the catalyst
edged as my own edges, warded key in lock, no meniscus of exactitude where air meets water,
but a grotto I grow into, a grove I learn to inhabit. If you are the burrow, not the burial,
let this be the last shell I’d ever need.”

“If you must leave us, go gently. Leave your heart and bravery so we might learn.”
We've seen few humans this devoted and humble as Jimmy Carter. Quietly continuing his mission,which was to do good. If you must leave us go gently . Leave your heart and bravery so we might learn. Thank you President Carter. Jimmy.

2022 started off terrible. Mostly because of some poor decisions on my part to hang on to someone who had let me go months previously. But as I sit here and think about the year as a whole, it turned out pretty damn amazing.

I don’t regret loving anyone. I’ve always been the person that jumps into everything with both feet. Getting hurt is inevitable when you take a chance, but sometimes you’ll find something so precious, you’ll wonder why you held back.

Thanksgiving was nonexistent this year because both my grandma and myself got COVID. Thankfully we’re both on the mend. It also sounds weird to say, but I’m also thankful the boyfriend got (a super mild) case of it too, because I would’ve gone insane w/o him.

ADHD'ers: *does 40 hours of work in an 8-hours hyperfocus and urgency fueled bender* Them: This is amazing! You have so much potential. Here's some more work. The very same ADHD'ers: *struggles for 8 hours to get the executive function to do a simple task* Them: God, you're lazy

And that sucks, because usually I have a lot to say, but I fear falling into the pit of narcissism that twitter tends to represent. So, for those of you reading this: what do you want to see from me? More snippets of my writing? Learning strategies?

Stories from my shitty childhood that I’ve considered turning into stories?
I don’t really tweet regularly, mostly because a lot of the tweets I read feel like they were written by 13 year olds begging for attention, when in reality they were written by grown adults in their 30s, 40s and 50s.
