Cameron is an illustrator hailing from Ohio. When she’s not drawing, she’s probably very, very quietly having loud thoughts about: queer things, her eventual shop, what to watch next on Netflix, food, names for her future pets, and tumblr.
Cameron has written 76 articles for us.
Ohhh! I would buy this as a print THIS VERY SECOND. Is such a thing possible?
DITTO. Can we buy prints? Because this is everything.
Cameron, I love this! This is a great encompassing of that feeling.
Beautiful, thank you!
Hey I just started having this feeling, the loosening bit. But then I found out I can’t go to my parents house for the holidays this year due to my work schedule and it’s got me feeling some type of way. I always look forward to revisiting the scenic routes and meet up places and short cuts I used to know 🙃 always trying to remind myself I can make my own home right where I am. This helps! Also highly second the comment about buying the print!
Oh autostraddle and replying to comments instead of posting ur own <3
This is so good

I don’t know the technical difference between poetry and prose, but emotionally that read as poetry to me.
Wow <3
I needed this. Thank you
Damn this is good. We recently (literally Sunday) moved cross country for work and both my wife and I are doing that thing where we look at each other and just keep going “We’re so excited!” While simultaneously fidgeting with nervousness.
beautiful!!
I’ve just bookmarked this I’ll be needing soon to get through our first big move in nearly thirty years. This is sooo good.
