DefendPDX has unanimously voted to dissolve. I am no longer affiliated with this group in any way or any capacity I try to do the right thing. Sometimes I do what I think is the right thing in the wrong way. I think my tweet this morning was one of those times. I'm sorry https://twitter.com/defendpdx/status/1298725314399363074 …

Faltering in the face of months of daily abuse and constant action is nothing to be ashamed of. It's important you recognize you have needs that aren't being met because now you can attend to them. That's something most people only discover after the fact You're only human

Oh Laura... no no, do not be ashamed. After everything you've been doing, everything you've been seeing... not being able to "gut through" isn't weakness -- it's a testament to your empathy and humanity. You got this, and we're all together in solidarity. Rest up.

No shame in being affected by what the world has thrown at you. Take time and recover, the fight will still be there when you are ready.

Be nice to yourself. We all have breaking points. It’s good to know where the edge is but it hurts when you get there. I’ve got my breaking point many times and it does get better I can tell you, but never fun. Go easy and give yourself a break.

There is greatness in knowing when to step back to mend yourself. We're not built to go w/out breaks. Be kind to yourself. You're doing amazing things.

I think that you do a great job of covering the police riots and I look forward to seeing you back in action very soon. I appreciate you.

It's ok. We're all swine here. You do really good work. I hope you can see that. I selfishly hope that you continue to want to do it. And I hope that you find structures for taking care of yourself amidst it. Maybe chalk it up to forced consciousness expansion.
