I love it... not because it's confrontational ( thought I love that too )... but because it's brutal honest about the violence we've observed and the violence we reproduce when we confuse hierarchies for 'just personal preference'.
That line " The requirements changing at daylight" ? God. That line is an entire anthropology of shame.
Thank you for writing what so many prefer to leave unspoken, Taylor.
You always catch the thing under the thing. And that daylight line…..yeah. That one has been sitting in my chest for a long time. It means a lot that you saw what it was really reaching for, not just how it sounded. Thank you for reading it with that kind of honesty and for saying the quiet parts with me. 🙌🏾🙏🏾
This hits hard.

Thank you, Taylor. This means more than you know...
But honestly: It's rare to read work that risk clarity the way you did here. I'm grateful you trusted us with the harder layer beneath.
