Quote by Franz Kafka

"I never wish to be easily defined. I'd rather float over other people's minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person."

I love dragonfruit

This isn't an entry on something I tried for the first time because I already know I love them. They're one of ultimate creature nostalgia foods. All I'm nostalgic for is 2021 but it's some of the best memories of taking my dad's car out to the Walmart or Heinen's every Thursday to buy a new type of fruit and get to be an animal about it. And yellow dragonfruit was always the best. Slicing it open and digging into the sweet grainy flesh made me feel so close to my rainforest opossum self. It's also kind of a ringtail food.

Anyway, that's all to say, I just had one, and it put me in an opossum shift. Specifically the paws and head shape. That large rounded head.

Quote by Charles Darwin, from On the Origin of Species (1859)

"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one, and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved." 

Quote by Leslie Feinberg, from Stone Butch Blues (1993)

"I remembered what it was like to walk a gauntlet of strangers who stare--their eyes angry, confused, intrigued. Woman or man: they are outraged that I confuse them. The punishment will follow. The only recognition I can find in their eyes is that I am 'other.' I am different. I will always be different. I will never be able to nestle my skin against the comfort of sameness."
