Walking Practice

by Dolki Min

You grow anxious when, wherever you may be, you encounter someone who you cannot immediately classify as male or female—or, to put it another way, when the “evidence” for your gender judgment is conflicted.

I feel like this book is making big assumptions about people:\ … being a minority my entire life i've learned and tried my best to give everyone a fair shot BUT i get the assumptios this book is making becayse she IS an extraterrestrial being lmao

and you have lived your lives in certainty, believing the result of your deductions to be true.

I understand she's making brash assumptins cause she's an other-ly planet being (i think that's why at least?) but this judgement makes this book hard to read

I have yet to reveal my gender, leaving you, my dear reader, trembling with anxiety.

Chile…i'm cool not knowing lmao

What does it mean to be a woman? Among other things, it means that you have to decorate yourself and act like a woman.

This being has noticed all of the shallow and harder parts of being a woman it seems :\

If I don’t become a woman—or, when the occasion calls for it, a man—I will starve to death.

You take on gender as a means of survival while most humans see gender as a non-bianary and lots of human-humans have FUN being their gender or non-bianary…we humans aren't doing "it" as means of survival

lichen.

Ask Babby or Momma Al what this is in the morning… sounds like it should grow around here, maybe(?)

Hooray for jerky! Jerky is the best!

It seriously is… i love a good slim jim lmao

Albeit the only trip I’ve taken is one up the stairs.

I'd say 16 flights of stairs is a tripl LMFAOO

The fingertips of the hand he used to point out the bathroom door stink of cock. Nasty fucker.

LMFAOOOO GOODBYEEEEE LOLLLL

You can’t read between the lines?

Chile… I DID. Pls lets move onnnn omg

All we think is that it would be nice to have a lump of flesh to hold close, rub lips, and mouth our sex organs without all the cumbersome formalities. To brush up against a lump of flesh with an assigned age and gender. Lump of flesh to lump of flesh. That’s all.

I think she simply wanted to hear those words—I love you. I too want to hear words of love. If yesterday, then today; if today, then tomorrow—I want to hear those words.

As I always say, you can never trust a profile picture. They’re a useful frame of reference, to some degree, but it’s nigh impossible to meet someone who matches up exactly with what the photo leads you to imagine. Well, not quite impossible.

The more I read this book the more apprent it's becoming that you're just surviving. I think you'd maybe like living the routine humans do(?)

“It” is more suitable,

Is it though…?

There are no major differences between it and the carcasses of cows and pigs hanging from hooks in the butcher shop.

Oh yeah… definitely just surviving. We're not any better than other species but, we are different from each other in beautiful ways! A cow is very great as a cow and a human is very great as a human!

You must be a human when you’re dead in order to be accepted as a human when you were alive.

No! Please make a friend and gain some optimism!!! It makes me so sad!

If possible, I’d love to steal a human body for myself: my forever homework, the thing that would most easily solve the problem of my existence.

So you do want to discover the optimistic side of human life(?)

The cock and balls are a delicacy that must be kept in ice water, then, when ready to eat, sliced fresh like sashimi and dipped in either soy sauce with wasabi or gochujang and vinegar.

That's so awful to picture. Holy fuck!

I’m just sharing what I know about bringing out the best of each ingredient.

I think i'm good fren LMFAOOO. I don't really want the recipe to cock and ball sashimi lol

I never really thought about eating humans.

Feel like you should switch to cows or something…

Whereas I once looked upon humans like clouds in the wind or a trail of ants, I began to see things in a different light the longer my hunger set in. I became terribly curious how they might taste.

And you pass judgement on us… okey dokey artichoke-y. You're The one out killing people!!

I have to steal human lives to continue my own. I’m sorry. Actually, that apology is a load of shit.

Idk man… the more i read the less i like you LOL. You are SO judgemental ! Like jeez!

The way fresh laundry smells never fails to bring me joy.

You enjoy things like humas do… yet judge!? Ypu are confusing and a tad unlikable LOL

but whose leather?

Probs cow, crazy ass.

My meat’s wallets are my only source of income. I make about two to three hundred thousand won a day. If I’m lucky, I can make around ten million won in the span of three hours. Some of the meat even keep bundles of cash in their homes. I make a pretty good living, don’t you think? In fact, I’m pretty rich.

This is probs why you judge so hard… you act like the WORST of humans and blame it on survival. Just like bad people do. Grifter, theif, and self righteous murderer.

My job runs me ragged.

This isn't a job that runs you ragged and gets you sympathy from me. Idc you're feeling rough. You don't care about anything.

Are you going to mock me for being too sensitive?

No. But you're going to continue to mock me. Bitch.

To tell the truth, having someone not reply and treat me as a nonentity is a teeth-chatteringly frightening experience.

I thought you'd prefer that…since its easier on your form and all(?) makes it easier to keep up the lie and keep trucking, right?

probably because the violence of going unanswered has cut me to my core.

You hate when people pry… but yet you hate to go unanswered and not pry? This makes me not like you. Ughhhhhhh!

I place a chunk of meat in her hanging jaw. —Bye-bye, now!

You are not a nice being or even just "surviving" as you claim. This is not the soloution to noziness omggg

You are the d e f a u l t l i f e - f o r m . You are the c e n t e r o f the universe. It must be s o 0 O 0 o 0 O 0 o 0 O 0 o nice.

In this universe. On this planet. If I were to go back home with you… I'd be the odd one out.

I take my b a - b i e s out of my bag, p l a c e t h e m i n t h e s i n k

You place a 'human-like' emphasis on a lot of things but maybe you're right maybe its just me centering myself because i'm a human

once I’m fully submerged, the h o l e s in my skin open up, and s h i t (m i x e d w i t h p i s s) t r i c k l e s o u t l i k e s w e a t .

Umm. Gross.

ask the h o u s e to wake me up at 2:45 p.m. The house turns off the lights and turns on the television.

Thats cool! It reminds of Mr.House (lol) and Del

Most of you aren’t even f i t t o j u d g e me. You’re underweight or old and decrepit. C h e a p c u t s

You're not really either… you're hideous!

It may be hard for you to believe, but t h e r e a r e e v e n t i m e s when precious little birds perch and chirp on my shoulders.

…they do that to humans too!?

But it is better to leave my eyes wide open than to blink with alternating eyes, however terrifyingly snakelike I may seem.

People do this all the time… maybe if you quit judgin everybody you'd know some shit!

I might even be better at climbing stairs than humans.

Some animals are really good at this too! I've seen a raccoon do it!!

jerky,

When you mentioned jerky last time i thought you meant slim jims...

just right as I do right now. If I keep feeling like this I just might float away, hahaha.

So… you enjoy being a man better? Or is this happiness because of the hunt?

I’m someone who can’t bear the fall from happiness to despair. I need a safety net to prepare for it since the higher I climb, the greater my injuries will be when I fall.

Am I incapable of fully enjoying even the smallest moments of happiness?

I think its because you feel oppressed bein that you're different…my bf and i can relate to that :\ You have to allow happiness in and let the judgement of others go. But also, easier said than done for you…you're not a human.

If only I had a small axe in my hand, the family of four walking in front of me, laughing, chatting, and stinking of sweat, would get chopped up like firewood. I think that would lift my spirits a notch or two.

You envy our ease in navigating all the things YOU miss at home… relationships, family, sex, inside jokes and all the things. You feel lonely. (maybe?)

Is it because I want to pass the responsibility for my unhappiness on to them?

Mayhaps…?

Is it a problem I can only solve on my own?

…askin for help isn't a bad thing, us humans do it all the time!

Hello, everyone? I can hear you all. Let me tell you, my hearing is perfectly sharp, even if my earlobes are dripping onto my shoulders.

Some of it can be concern!! Not all humans are haters, homie!

For them, life is so boring that if someone doesn’t walk with ease, taking steady steps on two healthy legs of the same length, they violently overreact as if they were waiting for it.

That's a minority that feels like a majority!! Keep optimism of us pleae!

In the men’s bathroom, they only focus on pissing or taking a shit.

Lmao

Can I become a human and receive love? Is that too much to ask for?

Sooo thats what you want to be happy?

You’ll all say that I don’t know what beat to follow, and if I’m crazy, I’m solidly crazy.

I don't think that's crazy!
