"And drank a lot of pondwater, seasoned with duckweed. I convinced myself I was growing translucent, my brown skin turning gray and clearing up little by little. I convinced myself I was becoming a self-sustaining ecosystem, wholeness layered like onion scales or nesting dolls.."
"When I was young I said I didn’t want to be a boy or a girl, I wanted to be a plant. I had never been a go-getter but the want grew to be bigger than my body."

"In Laguna, you wake me up at dawn
to pick wildflowers with you
on the coconut meadow. As we walk,
tumbling from flower patch to
flower patch and stems between
our fingers, I tell you what each
is called..."
"Later, in bed, you ask me
what these are, the itchy
grass sticking out of
the hems of our shirts and
all over our shorts. Amor seco,
I say, meaning, “dry love”"

Got the OK from my publisher, so uhm! I am looking for sensitivity readers/beta readers for my YA graphic novel draft.
Ideally based in the Philippines. I am looking to address these perspectives:
1. Transfem pinays
2. Kapampangan
3. Moro (specifically Tausug and/or Maranao)

in college people experience a certain type of cognitive decline caused by only spending time with people their age. like i have gotten really good at making spotify playlists, and very bad at having conversations not about radiohead or situationships
