Andrea Gibson Quotes

I’ve also never seen lightning strike

but I know we’ve all heard the thunder

and it doesn’t take a genius to tell something’s burning.

there’s a boy with eyes like an anthem

no one stands up for.

White Feminism (noun):
1. A racism that claims
it is at least better
than no feminism at all,

was a vegetarian,

get comfortable
being the uneaten animal

making lampshades
out of human skin.

Come teach me a kinder way
to say my own name.

TO STAY
THAN TO GO.
