So I want to ramble a sec about finding some peace amidst the chaos. This thread might get a little content-warningy. So feel free to mute.

I'm actively trying to use this space for something more than politics and fighting Nazis. I want to be actively and visibly proud of who I am. I want my story to be more than Charlottesville. I want to do the things I set out to do. I didn't set out to fight fascism.

I sometimes criticize the leftist movement for being more there when it comes to the showdowns in the street but not being there for tending the metaphorical (and literal!) community garden. I can apply that criticism to myself, too.

Taking on Nazis isn't even my best skill, which is saying something because goddamn do I live rent free in their heads. My beloved friend Veronica tells us to bring our best gifts to the struggle. So I'm gonna bring mine and start tending a garden or two.

So I may be adding less political commentary going forward, and focus more on constructive examples of building a world where hierarchies and power structures don't keep us from those people and things we love. Never fear, I will still be taking on Nazis! But more other stuff.

I love you all. Thank you for being there with me through all this.
