quick bright things

I think this is absolutely a thing going on, fwiw. Especially among younger folks who might be less likely to have visible relationships between adult queer women in their own social networks and who feel isolated and scared about what options their future has. I'm trying to articulate this, but like... when any real relationship feels like an absurd fantasy, anyone saying that these relationships are complicated and messy and human feels like a threat on top of a scary threat.
