Blackberry Jam
I’m always a slut for sapphic-all-girls-Catholic-school-core.

I appreciate it whenever queer love stories navigate the FOMO that straight girls don’t have to go through. Prom is just so ingrained into the coming-of-age experience, missing it would feel like not having a normal girlhood. Not being straight in itself doesn’t feel like having a normal girlhood. It’s up to us to make our adolescence meaningful without searching for normalcy. This short feels cathartic. It is a love letter for former schoolgirls who have ever felt unwelcome in their second home.
