I need the sword to be strong, the pen to be wise
Everyone telling me to only choose one tells me lies

(Formerly 26letters-infinitewords)

Simone, or Carrot. She/Her.

Bookworm. Daydreamer. Poet. Writer, when I rise above procrastination. (Which is infrequent.)

Sarcastic. Passionate. Will drop everything to write a five page rant about a topic that really only requires a sentence.

LGBTQ SAFE SPACE: Girls like girls like boys do, nothing new.
PRO CHOICE: Men shouldn't be making laws about women's bodies.
BLACK LIVES MATTER: White feelings should never be held in higher regard than black lives.
SAVE THE SUICIDAL: A semicolon; The author could have ended the sentence, but chose not to;
END CLIMATE CHANGE: Young people must hold older generations accountable for the mess they have created.
STOP SCHOOL SHOOTINGS: Lockers are meant to hold books, not trembling bodies.
NORMALIZE DISABILITIES: A lot of disabilities are invisible. Your reaction to them isn't.
HUMAN RIGHTS: Every human deserves human rights. They aren't called "privileged human" rights.

Be kind. But if someone is a bigot, or says something discriminatory, slap them across the face. Or maybe hit them with a stick, since we do want to respect social distancing guidelines.

We need diverse books. We need diverse books. We need diverse books.

--Simone

So, dear reader, believe my words;
I can use both the pen and the sword.
