Tomorrow is tomorrow. Over there is over there. And here and now is not a bad place and time to be, especially when so much of the unknown is beautiful. (pg 186)

Light from Uncommon Stars was both mundane and magical. It was like an episode of Doctor Who or Good Omens. It was bizarre. 

Maybe this is silly but I don’t get why specific car types were mentioned more than once? I don’t see how those details were central to the story, besides what car Shazuki drives 😂 but I’m not a car person so idk

CW: sexual assault, transphobia (deadnaming, death threats, misgendering, sexual harassment,  etc), physical abuse, homophobia, racism, sex work

This is the song of a queer kid who escapes from a window to a sidewalk in the middle of the night. This is the song of a trans girl just wanting a fucking bathroom in the middle of the day. 
So what if you don't understand? So what if you think I'm a half-woman freak. 
This is my song. My voice. My voice leads. (pg 338)
