“I can’t help but think back on the feathery flatness of my owl-lover’s embrace, and to compare my two great loves. My owl-lover had a manly lack of mammaries, but otherwise she was all woman. I used to love the way she could flex her feathers separately, moving her feathers across my skin like a thousand soft feather-fingers.”

“It is not simply that the alt-right hates diversity in cinema: they’re offended by the idea that nonwhite people might exist in other possible worlds.”

“Ich wollte kein Gegenstand sein, ich wollte ein Mensch sein und gross; und gross zu sein, bedeutete, ein Geschlecht zu haben, ein männliches. Als Frau drohte einem, ein Gegenstand zu bleiben oder ein Ozean zu werden. Das wollte ich nicht.”

“I have to know that there are people who would understand if I talked to them. I have to know. I have to believe that my trauma is relatable, if controversial, that there are people who would listen to me and go, it’s okay Alice, it’s completely okay. You are so fucking normal. Everything you’ve experienced is normal.”

“(I loved her name. I couldn't help it. I would release a worm to write her name in every angular gyrus from here to Thailand. I would convert her name to salts, to textures, to the image of a fern in biosonar. I had never heard a name so beautiful, though it was not a name that suited her - it was far too soft a name for her precise young features - and though I thought it much the lovelier when sharpened by my Leningrader accent.)”
