started and finished today.....

nice to read about a character who's more self-destructive than you. can super see the influence this had on torrey peters, which i see in the sense of messy characters grappling with what it means to embody themselves. and of course, the context of exploring the experience of being a (white) trans woman.

as someone that wants to do what maria did - say fuck it and drive to nevada - this is a nice reminder that that will not actually solve your problems!
