This. Very much this. Look, "Charlottesville" came to me, I didn't go to Charlottesville. The Nazis have elevated me to being some kind of bogeyman, simply because I have worked with the media and denied them a monopoly over a very effective tool.https://twitter.com/danieleharper/status/1016636413763375105 …

Aside from events in Charlottesville, I think the only other rally I've ever been to in the US has been... The Rally to Restore Sanity?

And even then I just kind of walked around the outside of it then got a sandwich because that was too many fucking people.

And all of this is weird, right? Because like, I didn't actually do anything. I didn't want to do anything. I didn't want to be pepper sprayed. A bunch of people crossed state lines and came to my town, my campus, and decided to attack me because... I am trans and online?

What I actually care about and want is to build good technology and inspire people to think of how what they create interacts with the world and to be cute and trans and fill my world with love. I want to ride my bike and play hockey and read.

The fact that the Nazis have projected me into being some sort of ANTIFA SECRET OPERATIVE or some shit is really illustrative of the anxieties in their movement.

I haven't actually *done anything*. I simply helped media contacts, many of which I developed from my earlier work using my tech knowledge to shine a light onto governmental issues, understand some local context.

I know you know this, but that's doing something. Everybody's bringing something to the party; this is what you bring.
