“That’s the thing about being a queer millennial: it’s not about things getting better in any linear fashion but holding a painful past and an optimistic future together, one in each hand, at the same time.”
Grace Perry, The 2000s Made Me Gay: Essays on Pop Culture

Octavia E. Butler
“I realize I don't know very much. None of us knows very much. But we can all learn more. Then we can teach one another. We can stop denying reality or hoping it will go away by magic.”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

Clint   Smith
“Every time I returned home I would drive on streets named for those who thought of me as chattel. “Go straight for two miles on Robert E. Lee.” “Take a left on Jefferson Davis.” “Make the first right on Claiborne.” Translation: “Go straight for two miles on the general whose troops slaughtered hundreds of Black soldiers who were trying to surrender.” “Take a left on the president of the Confederacy, who understood the torture of Black bodies as the cornerstone of their new nation.” “Make the first right on the man who allowed the heads of rebelling slaves to be mounted on stakes in order to prevent other slaves from getting any ideas.”
Clint Smith, How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America

“How am I supposed to tell people they’re good enough as they are when I don’t think I am?”
Becky Chambers, A Prayer for the Crown-Shy

Darcy Lockman
“Social psychologists have their own name for the mental load. They call it mnemonic work. Studies have established that couples intuitively, rather than consciously and explicitly, divide the work of planning and remembering. And just as intuitively, it mostly falls on wives.”
Darcy Lockman
