“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

“In overly mythologizing our ancestors, we forget an all-too-important reality: the vast majority were ordinary people, which is to say they were people just like everyone else. This ordinariness is only shameful when used to legitimate oppression. This is its own quiet violence.”
Clint Smith, How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America

“You don’t have to have a reason to be tired. You don’t have to earn rest or comfort. You’re allowed to just be.”
Becky Chambers, A Prayer for the Crown-Shy

Darcy Lockman

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
