Mutual Aid

I didn’t send money to the Black girl who was shot in the face.

I was in the familiar vortex of trying to manipulate the internet through the foggy window of the hot trash garbage Instagram browser and I fell asleep.

If I’m being honest, if I weren’t manic, I wouldn’t have clicked the link in the first place.

If we’re doing mutual aid now, why does no one talk about mutual suffering?

I live in a society that teaches men to shoot beautiful Black trans girls in the face, and their white sisters to obsess over Hunter Schafer.

No one deserves a GoFundMe page.

I’m sure she is still beautiful.
