      All record of that got expunged because we pulled the "white privilege and political connections" lever with our parents.

      I got detained in Troy, NY and had my car searched against my consent when I was 22. My eyes were bloodshot from allergies.

      Cops said I looked high. They found nothing and let me go. Again, privilege.

      A few months later, I got pulled over for "swerving." Cop tapped on my driver side window with his gun, or maybe a taser.

      My "swerve" was an attempt to merge and then I stopped when I saw the car in my blind spot. Totally gun worthy.

      All of these things were terrifying but I buried my terror under justifications that this was OK. I was, like many, a tool of authority.

      It takes enormous resources to go from that still inner voice feeling something is wrong, to your whole being engaged in righting the wrong.

      Some say “you’re so brave”. But it’s everything else too — love, privilege, & the fierce refusal of that still small voice to be killed

          Thank you, too! Have you heard of Ursula Franklin's "earthworm theory" of social change? What you do loosens the earth so others may grow.

          I'm obsessed with "The Real World of Technology" (1989) — her "technology" broadly describes any practice, from therapy to making software.

          Some practices are "holistic", and require an intuitive give and take based on expertise and empathy. Like throwing pottery or listening.

          Other practices are "prescriptive", and are reducible to a series of steps performed by interchangeable actors — with managers overseeing.

          Humans have always practiced both (ex: ancient bronze casting), but in our modern era we pathologically think prescriptive is always better.

          "IF ONLY we could track the granular effectiveness of therapy (maybe with a smart watch?!) then surely the results would be better for all!"
