ICYMI: I currently have five micro short stories on exhibit as part of the gallery show Living With Worlds (As They End). This story, “Ducts,” is the first I wrote for the collaboration. You can read the rest in the catalogue for the show, here: bit.ly/3vGuDh2

An irony of the “groomer” bullshit is I understood I was trans at 11 but no one in my life talked about transness so to learn about myself I had to use the internet and found stuff that was VERY not age appropriate. Imagine if I could have learned about it from Sesame Street. /1
