o day and night, but this is wondrous strange

A sleep deprived exhausted med student aaron would very randomly call andrew to shit on jeremy knox after watching an espn segment from the hospital waiting room, and watching people gush about him.

aaron, calling his brother for the first time in 4 months, from the hospital parking lot at 5 am on a wednesday: “i don’t care about jeremy knox, he is a average player at best, he is not interesting and im pretty sure he is not hot, even for gay standards.”

andrew, who was already awake bc neil had just begged for a kiss before going on his morning run at crack of dawn: “he is also very annoying, even by gay standards.”

aaron, feeling vindicated: “I KNEW IT.” end of the call.

2 week later:

andrew, after getting mildly injured at a game and having to stay in bed recovering for a few days, doing nothing but scrolling social media: “eric posts too many racy pictures of nicky on instagram and i can’t take it anymore he needs to die.”

aaron, doing a weird shift in the maternity ward where he has to interact with babies so they don’t become psychos or whatever: “GOD, I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS TO KATELYN FOR FOREVER! we should kill him.”

andrew: “christmas in germany this year.”

" A group of people shouldered their way up to the bar counter at Neil's back, pushing him into Andrew. Andrew didn't budge beneath his weight. He was something solid to lean against, something violent and fierce and unmoving. Neil couldn't remember what it felt like to have someone hold him up. It was terrifying and liberating all at once. His life was out of his control now; he was giving it to Andrew and hoping Andrew would keep it safe. "

Dear Mr Josten,

After an assessment of your grades and progress in Introduction to Sociology this semester, it is clear that you may not be able to attain a high enough grade overall to receive a credit for the course.

Moving forward, failure to complete all assignments and exercises in the course to a minimum grade of 70 percent will lead to a failing grade in the course. This is not high school, and I suggest you learn quickly that there are real consequences to your actions. You cannot simply skip assignments without an excuse.

Best,

Professor John Williams

Abuse is facilitated and exacerbated by the material and social conditions surrounding it and breaking out of the cycle of abuse requires a conscious effort to acknowledge the conditions leading to it and a willingness to reconcile with who you are before and after it: FALSE ❌
