It’s Not Your Fault
“It’s just half an hour, / it’s just a marriage, just a week’s worth of sex, it’s just / easier to move my thumb along the screen protector / like it’s tender, it’s just grief after grief after / your kid at a baseball game after grief after gif / after grief”
Towards a History of the Opioid Epidemic and the Midwest-to-Florida Pill Mill Carpools
“Hope and momentum propelled us through recessions and housing crises, through breakups, deaths, wars, and other losses.”
Hungry Robots
“Hurting someone for their own good is easier than she thought it might be.”
When I Was Thirteen
“She made me sit next to her, arms shaved thoroughly, her skin covered in razor burns. ‘We’ll get another one.’”
If You’re Lucky, This Could Be You
“Her life is not a goddamn movie. How’s this for plot? Fires erupt when people aren’t paying attention.”
