Rachel Sennot for Interview Magazine

i went to a tiny counterserve diner once and accidentally poured sugar instead of salt all over my hashbrowns and was eating them sadly anyways. the waitress took them away and started making me another one and I tried to protest, but she just snorted and said "we're not catholic here". now every time i'm doing something painful out of obligation i think about how that is not repenting, this body is not a catholic establishment, there is no nobility in suffering.

i can excuse cannibalism but i draw the line at praying

it’s okay tai, she’s fireproof and wolf-proof there’s not much left that could take her down

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing (so devoted the lines blur)
