I can’t believe my family suggested medication and a “rest” because they became aware of how deeply held my beliefs are.

They call it political because they don’t know a better word for it. I’m not in a phase. I’m not crazy. I qm being myself. But that is what is so inconvenient for them. I’m not involved in politics as much as I have worked to intertwined my struggle with the struggle of others.

It cannot be untangled. I won’t be free until Black folks are free. That intertwining was intentional and I have paid some hefty penalties and I’m probably not done.

But that is how you move on from “ally.” You can be an ally forever but my friends asked for a deeper involvement and that is what I gave them.

And what I got from the people who swore they would always love me was a slippery wall. Something that intentionally can’t be. Climbed.

I keep thinking about this list and wonder where “anti racism” or “activist” would have fit in. Because there is a history of locking inconvenient women up.pic.twitter.com/a79Z1sU2h3

I’m not famous. I have done work that helped in the early work of info gathering for some bills. I have helped organize some events.

I should have seen it coming though because a few months ago my grandmother said she believes that I have cost the justice system money and should pay it back. Ostensibly the police are there to make sure we can practice these actions, not use chemical warfare.

I’m in so much pain and Twitter is the only place I can go these days. I hope I can get free from these feelings. From them. I know you can have a chosen family. I wish those folks could be closer. I need a hug so bad.
