Although death felt remarkably possible at that moment, I didn’t think “my life is over.” I meant the way I’d been living. My ‘poem’ was over and hell had bottomed out. “I thought being an artist meant you had to do anything for the experience,” Eileen Myles writes in Inferno. That’s exactly what I’d done.
“In your twenties you just kind of chug along,” Eileen Myles says, “dredging up feelings as you go.” You “consider your behavior just art, grist for the mill.” So when I said “it’s over,” I was talking about the grist. Goodbye, mill.

The only people qualified to explain how best to protect sex workers are sex workers ourselves, and globally we want decriminalization, for exactly that reason — to best protect ourselves. It helps us all to lobby in our own countries for our rights and helps us ideologically fight those who would prefer us dead. Because that’s what criminalization is: preferring dead sex workers.

I interviewed Mary for autostraddle‘s Interview With My Queer BFF series and it was so much fun! We talked a lot about our high school memories and how we’ve inspired each other over the years. My friendship with Mary has been so crucial to processing my lesbian teen experience, coming out experience, and just general life experience. <3 <3 quederarotiene

“I’ve learned so many things from you, like so many things! When I was in high school, I feel like you didn’t give a fuck about what people thought about you. I was super in the closet, I wasn’t even out to myself, I denied it so much. I think you being somewhat out was pretty comforting. There was a certain comfort in knowing that there were other gay people out there. I think ever since we’ve been friends, it’s been a journey through our queerness. It’s really amazing to have a friend on your side, by your side, experiencing these things as well and learning from each other.” - Interview With My Queer BFF: Yvonne Interviews Mary
