TYVM. That’s thank you very much, acronyms with no reference are rude. I was surprised they offered a typing class. Didn’t everyone know how to type to play Oregon Trail and write things?

I’ve delayed writing about 9/11 on the 10 year anniversary. When was that. 09/11/21. 20 years, seriously? 2 years later, plus another 9.

Poof. Aloof I go, again. Away from a truth you hold, Yeah right, I’m not sold. I lack the fight to argue on point To ace a hole in one, To throw the ball in your arms, To catch that fly, No thanks, I’ll remain shy To your charms while you tell me to bear…

I have a speech disorder. It has made transitioning to UX and design a unique journey for me, one where what I have to overcome to communicate is a little different than my more verbal peers. It started at five when I almost got held back in kindergarten because the teacher thought I didn’t know…

Okay, that is not really happening in the present,…

The tendencies I reference, though, are not ones of extreme cleanliness or repeat routines that pepper popular narratives of OCD. Rather, they are the absence to attach deeply with object.

My tears, I try to keep them private. I know their poison tentacles. If tears come, the bathroom stall accommodates the drops staining cloth, the sink soothes the red splotches. When the top of my head ruptures after a gun smack, my tear ducts clog. Blood streams down past my shoulders, on some $10 polyester…

I once wrote a long paper for graduate school about community garden movements in post-9/11 New York City. Brooklyn, specifically, where I lived at the time.
