Updated 26 Nov 2025

1. Oh my god, you’re trying. How lame. Malu. Serius amat. Santai aja kali.

2. “To author autistically is to author queerly and contrarily.” R. M. Yergeau, Authoring Autism, p.6

3. “Starting with scattered thoughts and proceeding by twists and turns.” Michelle le Doeuff, Hipparchia’s Choice, p.3

    4. “When I write I hover above myself and sometimes I zoom in and out. I am both me and not me, the eye that looks at things in my eye yet another’s eye. When I write I am both most myself and least myself. When I write, I escape my condition but the writing always takes me back to confront my condition because to write is to live in made up worlds. I write not just to escape reality but to create a new reality. I write because it’s my calling, my task to do in the world. I write. It is a ritual, a habit, a propensity bred in my bones. It is what I do. I write because I like to think on paper. I write because I like to think, and to track my thoughts. I write because I want to leave a discernable mark on the world.“ Gloria Anzaldúa, The Gloria Anzaldúa Reader, p. 238
