Humans have always understood our experience through stories and myths. Literally every civilization throughout history has them. It’s the people who refuse to consume any fiction that I don’t understand. Even when a story is entirely fictional, surely there is still meaning in metaphor and juxtaposition and human understanding to be found.

My friend had her uterus removed and they still force her to take the standard pregnancy test when she comes in. Like, it’s right there in the chart that it’s not physically possible!
