I have an email account for Felix just for the purpose of two apps, a by-product of Covid remote school. Sometimes I look at it to see what it’s like to have an empty inbox. To feel the cool, fresh breeze against my brain. The nothingness, the sweet calm. No one asking “Did you get…

I hate warrior/hero/battle culture. I am not any different than any other cancer patient. It’s all suffering. We all suffer.…

The monochromatic outfits we all loved have to be inspired by The Crown, don’t make fun of the Queen ever again. Men need better dress up clothes. Get some interesting coats dudes. Bernie is in front of me at the post office every time. Every event needs a mascot. I didn’t know it was Gaga because…

(This is my favorite photo of exhaustion.) I’m in the infusion room right now and all the nurses are talking about the next phase decisions coming down from their organization leadership. So far I’ve overheard chat about—-surgery and electives are going to be stopping, procedures that might have been overnight admissions are now only proceeding…
