A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.

When engaging folks in discourse, remember that people can believe things with their HEADS or their HEARTS. Both can be changed but require different approaches. Heads require facts and trustworthy information. Hearts require empathy and connection. ❤️
