When we first heard opioid stories, They were always in whispered tones Now banners of sorrow mark the front steps of childhood homes; Parents wept through daddy's girl eulogies And merit badge milestones with their daughters and sons: Laying there lifeless in their suits and gowns

I go back to the old street I don’t need any directions I could find my way there in the dark I know all the intersections It’s not the same as I left it And shall never be once more There are overgrown bushes and New buildings galore They tore down my house with bulldozers I wonder if they knew A little girl grew up there And that little girl died, too

“Now I have to remember you for longer than I knew you” “how do you process grief?” “by running from it until it finds me in the middle of a sunny street on a beautiful day.” two headed calf poem “i was a child my spine wasn’t developed enough to be your pillar” “As a woman I have so much empathy for my mother, but as a daughter, I have so much anger..”

as i come closer and closer to accepting my identity and taking steps to actually transition i mourn the people i grew up with who i called by different names than they go by now, who grew out their natural hair color or chose one socially acceptable, who used different pronouns and dreamt of life as a boy- who now can’t wait to be a wife… im the only one left it feels. something must have shifted between 2017 to now, and the losses i can count on my fingers. they’re all buried and i don’t think any of them are coming back. do you remember middle school- where it was harder to find someone who Wasn’t queer and it seemed like everyone was more themselves? i cant bury this and i wont, but it makes me sad to think about the ones who are still sleeping.

this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing

this is going to hurt — A LOT — but it's getting to the point where there's no other option
