Changing my colours of the human I’ve been”

“...Everything that’s not asexual has two sexes, male and female. Most of the time it takes one of each to reproduce. Then there’s the whiptail lizard. This is a lizard that lives way the fuck out there in the middle of the desert, and sometimes it’s hard to find another lizard to mate with out there. Therefore, what the female whiptail can do is sort of make her eggs start dividing on their own. She makes daughters, clones of herself. It’s called parthenogenesis.”

“I feel like Alice when she drinks the potion in the White Rabbit's house. Except that this time there's no chimney or window to stick an arm or leg out of, no cake to eat that will make me smaller, and no lizards running around, yelling at me.
Actually, I'm quite glad about that last point. I don't think shouting lizards tend to help situations like this.”
― Holly Smale, Model Misfit
