I swear the “tell us why you’re unsubscribing” options (I’m too poor; I’m too stupid to use this product correctly; jk I didn’t mean to) were written by a middle school girl who grew up to be this person.

Alex Foster considers what draws us to doomsday fantasies (and why we should resist our apocalyptic urges).
And If This Is(n’t) the End of the World? Why We Dread—and Desire—Apocalypse

Microfiction out today in “101 Words.” This is my first published piece in over a decade, y’all. I don’t think I’ll ever truly get over the feeling of being a fraud when it comes to writing, but it’s nice every now and then to see some of my words on a page. #writersky #microfiction #101words

God, this is real.
[The things I might say to you if I were brave: that you illuminate a room like the sun after hard winter; that my heart stops when you say my name; a look into your eyes freezes time and when my breath comes it is in frantic desperate gasps? No. Perhaps just this...]
Climb me you dirty fuck-puffin.

And the same girl, many years later, in her 50s: "Jane confessed that she had always felt as if she were on the wrong side of a barrier, cutting her off from the real life she was meant to be living."
March 24, 2025 at 10:24 PM
"An Abduction" by Tessa Hadley offers this apt description of a 15-year-old girl: "Jane was listless, her mind a blank with vivid little jets of dissatisfaction firing off in it."

And: "After she hangs up she paces the floor. She's crackling inside, like hot fat under the broiler."
