Love this. Such a raw, visceral experience reading it.

"you try to use language as a weapon

but you lack the skills to master it" incredible!

There’s a long tradition of feminist poetry reclaiming misogynistic language, and this feels like a very contemporary continuation of that lineage. LOVED IT!!!!

I am beyond stunned. The way you use stanzas to serve indictments is sheer genius. Also, one of the most unique pieces I have ever read. Love it!

(This reminded me of Meet the Grahams in parts.)

This is METAL AS FUCKKK! I’m blown away by the verbal savagery you just threw out on to the substack card table. ♠️♦️
