Hinge showing me the profile of a friend of mine who I know is very not alive and saying we are most compatible is exactly how my dating life is going 🙃

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.

Three Poems by Dare Williams
[ Crook of My Elbow, Cotton-Balled, Band-aid Covering, Out the Car Window ] Crook of my elbow, cotton-balled, band-aid covering, out the car window, dangles in public smelling of clinic, no need for sleeves. Sun surfacing the edge. I let them see I’ve been drained. My blood taken and after, a dream state. Someone inspects my red velvety syn-tax, rushing platelets, blue under all that light.
