“Strangling is perfectly natural—no need to be ashamed. I did it to my Barbie Dolls and everything.” Sarah rolled her eyes. “They really do send them up crazier each year.”
Jacquelynn Lyon, The Soft Landing Collection: Sapphic Fantasy and Science Fiction Stories

“Sarah Reyes,” she repeated slowly, blinking into the dark. “I’m from Minneapolis.”

The Perks Of Bein...: Team Roswell 913 230 May 09, 2025 06:08PM  
“Write a short story every week. It's not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row.”
Ray Bradbury

“Lord, I confess I want the clarity of
catastrophe but not the catastrophe.
Like everyone else, I want a storm I can
dance in.
I want an excuse to change my life.”
Franny Choi, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On: Speculative poems tracing apocalypse from WWII's Korean comfort women to climate crisis―queer, Asian American, and urgent.

“People ask me, “Have you tried yoga? Kombucha? This special water?” And I don’t have the energy to explain that yes, I’ve tried them. I’ve tried crystals and healing drum circles and prayer and everything. What I want to try is acceptance. I want to see what happens if I can simply accept myself for who I am: battered, broken, hoping for relief, still enduring somehow. I will still take a cure if it’s presented to me, but I am so tired of trying to bargain with the universe for some kind of cure. The price is simply too high to live chasing cures, because in doing so, I’m missing living my life. I know only that in chasing to achieve the person I once was, I will miss the person I have become.”
Alice Wong, Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-first Century

“To oppose something is to maintain it.
They say here "all roads lead to Mishnory." To be sure, if you turn your back on Mishnory and walk away from it, you are still on the Mishnory road. To oppose vulgarity is inevitably to be vulgar. You must go somewhere else; you must have another goal; then you walk in a different road.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness
