Machine Daughter 2042
Everything was to be muted and smooth there. Mundane shades of olive and mustard adorned the furniture and its knobs. Every edge was rounded. It was said that we all needed the protection. Only smooth things could exist. Jagged or rough edges were banned. Nothing could be short of perfection. Lights were kept dim. No personal pictures or radios were allowed anywhere. Low hums and beeps were to be the only sounds. Only soft murmurs could be uttered. No shrieks, yelps, or laughter were to be released. The small ones were taken to a type of learning center. This is where the world’s information would be held. DigiPosters were only kept in the commune library. Human history had been dwindled down to 35 books and 12 Real Time sepia toned DigiPosters. And though things were so very dismal somehow I was able to keep our life bright and vibrant. Her name was Asuka and though she was not my daughter and simply assigned to me because of her brain activity, I cared for her with everything in me. Therefore, I could not remain here either.

Metal Mama 35
I myself have never fit into any spaces that I choose to frequent. Ya see, I am a middle-aged black woman and I absolutely adore and love metal and indie music. I'm 35 to be exact- born on Halloween '85. Some of the best moments of my life were attending live shows and concerts where I’d often be the only black or brown face in the crowd. As you can imagine that could be pretty nerve-wracking and too boot I’m just 4’11. A tiny brown ball of energy and joy is how I choose to see myself at these shows. I thrash about and bang my head harder than anyone. I start and end mosh pit circles. I’ve seen startled looks on people’s faces but also faces of delight as they see I am truly and deeply enjoying myself—for me and no one else.
