It’s 6am. I haven’t slept.
          
          On one incognito page? The Brook website. Telling me about Contraception and making me concerned about how y’all write smut without taking into consideration some deets.
          On another? Bottoming 101.
          This dude has Such Brat energy I’m developing a crush on him.
          
          I was writing, so i have Notes open on top of 3 baby naming sites and a Wikipedia article on the band Bad Company.
          
          Did I mention it’s 6am? 
          Did I mention I haven’t slept?

People who name their kids like, India and Paris and Brooklyn like “You were named after where you were made uwu” yeah that shit NASTY
          
          Imagine if it was compulsory to name your child where they were made.
          
          “Vegas” is the most common name
          “Dorking”, “Stoke”, “Manchester” etc get mocked relentlessly by “Liverpool”, “Blackpool”, “Madrid”, “St. Ives”
          
          What if we got REALLY fucking specific with it?
          “Fireside” aww
          “Roommates Mattress” eww
          “Walmart” raises questions
          “Cave” is the weirdest kid and “Homeless Shelter” / “Refugee Camp” / “Streets” struggle for employment or any respect at all
          
          I’m looking for a Dystopian story here. The main characters lie about their names, trying to take down the government that shames anyone not named honourably (London, Paris, Milan, Tokyo)
          They find out each other’s true names and it’s so shocking and horrifying the readers audibly gasp:
          
          “14th Birthday Party” and
          “Prison” look at each other with wide eyes. Both, their mothers dead by suicide, their fathers unknown scumbags and rapists who should be shown for what they really are. Their mothers couldn’t love their children, but that was not those women - no, those GIRLS - faults. To them, there was no child. There was trauma, embodied, by a crying collection of cells before them.
          
          14 and Priz are even more determined to take down their oppressive government. There is no romantic subplot or else it’s ruined btw

I feel... so sorry for sexual health clinic workers who have to go to schools.
          
          “Don’t announce what birth control you might go on.” 
          What has this woman heard?
          
          “Don’t re-use condoms” 
          Eyes widen with horror. What HAS this woman heard?
          
          “If you’re bleeding (down there) outside of certain times, that’s not healthy, see a doctor.”
          You HAVE GOT to have seen some shit to be so casual.
