I didn't build my platform based on fighting Nazis. I built it by working on activism in the tech industry, the impact of in-the-weeds technical decision-making on policy (and vice-versa), and racism/sexism in the workplace. Those are fights that matter still.

Knowing when to step back is a part of activism. It's probably been past my time. So I'm stepping back a bit. I'm still going to be doing the work, just less public-facing stuff.
