we were once children
we were once children, weren’t we? wading through, waiting for answers to questions we’ve had since the dawn of time.

Salt in the Wound . Top Story - June 2025.
We don’t know what to do, so we write. That’s what we have to offer the world right now — our words, our stories, our art. And some days, it doesn’t feel like enough. Not when people are dying. Not when the news reads like a horror script on loop. But it does feel like something. A thread. A resistance. A way to stay human.

We Wont Be Going to Pride this Year
An Introvert’s Nightmare We don’t like crowds. We don’t like heat. And we really don’t like glitter. Pride, if we’re being honest, is our personal sensory nightmare.

This Is How You Kill a Witness.
A Black woman, slight, deliberate, sharp-eyed. She is injured, holding crutches. She keeps her eyes low, but her spine is straight. She looks small against the backdrop of burnished wood. But today, she will not remain silent as so many other women had. Scared for their lives. Scared for their families. Scared of the consequences of telling the truth. Frances Thompson was terrified, but she knew that the only way to make them listen was to speak.

This Is Not For Metrics
We shared a poem today. Emotionally raw and quite devastating. I watched my wife cry as they wrote. I held them when they pressed, 'submit'. Yes submit. Place your vulnerabilities out into the world—for understanding, for solidarity, for survival. For peace.

A Life in Three Parts. First Place in Pride Under Pressure Challenge. Content Warning.
The world is fuzzy. You think you’ve been here before, or maybe this isn’t the first time you’ve woken up. There’s beeping. Voices in the distance—hushed. You don’t think you’re allowed to know what they’re saying. You don’t care.
