Writing a book has come up a few times over the years, but it never felt right and, quite frankly, it didn’t feel possible. I could barely sit down, let alone be still long enough to complete such a task. My brain’s energy was being wasted, a ceaseless drip attempting to conceal and control my discomfort. But now is different. New. At last, I can sit with myself, in this body, present—typing for hours, my dog, Mo, lounging in the sun, my back straighter, my mind quieter. This previously unimaginable contentment wouldn’t have arrived without the health care I’ve received, and as attacks against gender-affirming care increase, along with efforts to silence us, it feels like the right time to put words on a page.
— Elliot Page, from Author’s Note in Pageboy: A Memoir (Flatiron Books, June 6, 2023)
i thought peter was trying to do like a “I’m telling you to do one thing but really it’s so i can sneak you something but your refusing because the thing seems silly” when he was asking miles to hold mayday but no he actually just really wanted miles to hold and appreciate his baby
currently thinking about miles in the parent-teacher meeting saying he can have his cake and eat it too if he has two cakes. thinking about miles bringing two cakes to his dad’s celebration to apologize, and neither cake said what it was supposed to. thinking about miles wanting to be spider-man and have his dad.
