“If I am hungry and I eat and I remain hungry, hunger becomes rage. But to deny fulfillment makes sense of the hunger- I don’t eat, so I am hungry.”

ughhh i missed this book so much

oh yeah i get what i meant now. the zombie aspect really captures the deep dread of looking at yourself in the mirror and being like ohh no this is so wrong this is really wrong

i finally fished her out from behind my dresser from the time i dropped her trying to kill a spider like three months ago. she is fully unscathed and it turns out i only had to move the dresser like 2in away from the wall… oh well

also last time i read this i left a note saying i was rereading this through a “gender nonconforming lens” and idk exactly what i meant by that but im sure past me had a vision

“There is a black feathered thing inside of me. It’s as if all my life I wanted it there. Or the space for it was there. The possibility.”

rereading this book in a very gender nonconforming way
