The allosaurus wasn't a demmon or a badass movie monster. It was only an animal. It obeyed laws it did not understand and had no hand in making, just like me.

Starting around the time I turned seven, Mom frowned when I talked about dinosaurs. "You get too excited about those things," she'd say. "Loving something too much is dangerous." So whenever I got the urge to pick up a dinosaur book or toy, I bit down hard on the inside of my cheek.

Church was the most important thing in my mother's life, but I don't think she believed in God.

great queer sff collection! i love the touchpoints on masculinity and community and systems
