Are you KIDDDDDDDING me with this flamingo tie-in?! Now I love them even more. This was bloody brilliant, my friend. I resonated so much with so many lines, like: "I am fluent in easing tension, allergic to creating it." But I especially loved the descriptions of what it feels like to be a woman in silent rage: "a man delivers a slight like a pizza I'm supposed to want" and "handcuffed to a life of smiling while being insulted." I'm so glad you wrote this piece.
