I just want to cry
8 long hours of work, mostly trying to put anxious family members at ease. I’m exhausted. I race home to be here for the Coles groceries delivery. They are an hour late. FFS. I could have caught the train home but I sprang for an uber so that I wouldn’t be late but oh yes, […]

The Stanford County Jail/Prison “experiment”

Worth diamonds
Justin and I have been friends since we were 17, I think. We met on Easter Camp and he was the 1st ever boy to ask for my number. Before the internet and mobile phones, we all had landlines and omg the excitement of a boy calling for me was next level. Justin rang almost […]
