Submission Overview This prose piece explores the intersection of physical acoustic trauma and psychological narcissistic abuse.

Beyond 2016: Why Fraternity Is the Unbroken Engine of Patriarchal Power
Every time a horrific headline about violence against women breaks into the public consciousness, the cultural discourse falls into the exact same predictable loops. On social media, in news segments, and across comment sections, the explanations are flattened into convenient, short-sighted narratives: “It all started in 2016.” “It’s just partisan politics.” “It’s just that the media is reporting on it more now.” “We just need harsher prison sentences.”

Notes from the Mind Palace.
There is a unique brand of madness in choosing a career where your primary tools are the exact things your brain is wired to reject. To spend your whole life knowing you are a writer—carrying a roaring furnace of stories, cinematic images, and sharp dialogue inside your mental fortress—while fighting a daily battle against dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ADHD is an exhausting exercise in stubbornness.

Recurrence or "Over-Reaction"
The world of Cancer testing has improved since the last update. There is a test called Signatera , which is a blood test that looks for cancer cells that are related to hormone-hungry cancers, such as mine. You get tested every three months. The first time was in January or February. My memory is a little hazy on this part. It showed it was fine. No residual cancer. The second time I got it, I think it was in July, and they saw an increase of 0.07% in hormonal tumor DNA. My new oncologist is far better and more amazing than the shit for brains at the UT Hospital (This can be discussed privately). She really wants to be proactive about this because I have a repeatable history of being cancer-free for a year and then being sucked right back into the monster's mouth.
