βAll that we might have been we saw; all that we had missed, and we grudged for a moment the other's claim, as children when the cake is cut, the one cake, the only cake, watch their slice diminishing.β

Her son (2), sitting in pushcart: βPush me.β
My bestie: βAre you sure?β
Him: βYes.β
Her: βOkay-ay..β ::reaches out and pushes his shoulder::
People. The look he gave her. Like βWhy would you do me like that?β
Her, to me: βIf you donβt tweet that..β
Me: βOn it.β
Be brave, though courage threaten to fail and break asunder. Try, for as long as you can. Try. Be good. Donβt let go. Let them pry your fingers loose from your last grip, then spit at them as you fall. Your love was real. Thatβs what matters. Let love burn the world down.

ALT Selfie. SheFaerer, a white woman, the fingers of her left hand touching her left shoulder area. She wears a black top, a silver pendant with rhinestones on a black cord, a silver-gray toque, and a gray mask with a mecha kitty in purples, black, and white. She looks into the camera, her eyes done in heavy black eyeliner and mascara, with a blend of purples and rose and shimmer eyeshadows.
βTwas a month after Christmas and all through the place
The ghost that was haunting alone bore my face..

Dear cis men who say they care and that it matters how fucked up it is, the way women/fems are treated by cis men in general,βprove it: be an active thorn in the side of problematic cis men; agitate against them, harass them for their foul opinions, speak up, speak out,βfight! +
This bullshit position of βI donβt associate with guys like thatβ, that you hold in stoic silence like a statue of righteousness, is a dodge! Do you not think we see you there in the background pretending youβre an NPC, an innocent bystander? Fuck you, man. Silence = Violence. +
Itβs a morning for Tegan & Saraβs Crybaby.. Croissant, egg bites, peppermint mocha. A little break, then back to reading. Trying to finish the book before she says βCome overβ.
Looking at a /r thread by someone announcing theyβre no longer a femboy bc they no longer can pretend to be a boy, and thereβs so much support for them and congratulations and βgood for you!βs.
I read. I wait. In time the cleaners. Hours pass. In time her text: βCome over.β In time her company, and all the familiar sense of her company and companionship, and all that passes between us, from me to her, company and companionship, and so back and forth, as two girls +
on as a bakerβs pin as breakfast is prepared, as orange juice is poured, as the skillet pops and sizzles, and the household awakens, as croissants are buttered, as dogs fed with scraps, as children trample the floorboards, as trucks rumble by, as the cat finds a patch of light +
