“Quid Pro Woe”: A Response to Wednesday Episode 6
We all know that Wednesday Addams of the new Netflix series is extremely autistic coded. Her blunt reluctance to participate in uncomfortable social situations, difficulty engaging with peers’ emotions, and extreme fixation on the mysteries of Nevermore are some, but certainly not all of the indicators written into the script. I found her opposition to bullshit very refreshing, but continued to be frustrated, angered, and even heartbroken, by each new fight picked by a character who felt she owed them something.

ENBODYMENT
Up until my twenty-eighth year of life, it never once occurred to me that maybe I have the right to like the way I look. I was a tomboyish kid who spent summers in gym shorts and t-shirts; then a high school nobody constantly torn between the Old Navy graphic tees I felt most comfortable in versus the slim-fit Hollister and American Eagle tops I saw my far more popular classmates wearing; then an undergrad who almost had a panic attack when my friend tried to get me to borrow her lacy blouse on my twenty-first birthday; and then a young adult who craved androgyny but for some reason could never quite make it work.

Thoughts On Mental Health in a Studio Apartment
I thought I’d be living in LA by now. Originally from NH, I moved to Brooklyn in 2016 and to Chicago a year later, figuring that getting halfway across the country was an important and temporary step on my way to Hollywood. But then the pandemic hit, and the idea of relocating to an unfamiliar city and finding a brand new job felt a lot more terrifying than usual, and I decided I was better off staying put for now.
