This is off the top of my head. I might be missing people. But so many people are scared right now.

I don't have anything that can quell that fear, but I feel like I'd be amiss if I didn't take to the platforms I have.

Just to say that hey, your life has inherent value. Because there are so many people who want to tear that down right now.

Thanks to all the groups who have been organizing to put that message out there already, especially Black Lives Matter.

Thanks to all the trans folks who have been tweeting and writing and screaming about their-- our-- validity. You've done so much for me.

Take care of yourselves and each other as best you can. We're in for a hard four years here, and the consequences of that are far-reaching.

I made two bots that remind you to breathe: @breathebot10 and @breathebot30, at 10/30 minute intervals, because I needed that.

For these axes of marginalization and their intersections, it is an act of resistance just to exist. If that's all you can give, that's OK.
