i saw
as you took your ancestor’s trauma
and justified using the same kind of horrors
they experienced

and i wondered

am i susceptible that?
are you?
are we?

Hi, I’m Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她). It seems silly to think about how my headphones charge in one minute amidst many things. It seems silly to sip a coffee amidst many things. It seems silly to be when there is so much suffering, and you don’t even know what a feasible next step a small individual person you are can do, or even the small individual group of you who might be concerned. And perhaps we still do, despite. I don’t know how else to live.

Hop down the rabbit hole with me and Dawn Wang?
