Illegally Female 🔗

I want to be brave enough to stay and fight alongside my friends and lovers. I want to survive what is coming, to feel the rush of joy that finally winning promises — a promise I doubt it can make good on, a win I am not sure will exist. I want to run like a fool out of one disaster and into the arms of another. There is nowhere to turn and no one is coming to save us. And perhaps there never was anywhere safe to begin with, only a brief historical mirage that made some few of us in the global north think we might be protected.
