So its okay if you’re scared. Many of us are. Just getting out of bed in the morning is an act of bravery for many. We all have solidarity in that way.

Don’t discount that or yourself.

Learn how to bare your fangs at those who would dare to supplant themselves into becoming delusional Gods.

Reject your fears & stop sleepwalking in your own mind. A new morning will come at sunrise.

Its up to you what you’ll do with that gift.

And again: Its okay if you’re scared right now.

Theres no shame in that. You’re not alone. Many of us are.



Rest well and be brave for what follows for you ❤️

They may be in charge but they arent brave. Instead they are children who let thier fear dictate their harm and their tantrums.

Use your fear to dictate change. And if you cant or wont change both for others AND for yourself, then what makes you different from them?

…the key difference is: you have to remember that THEY are the cowards. Bravery is not contingent on their actions, but how YOU act against abject cowardice.

True bravery is having to confront your fears, your biases, yourself.

True bravery is enacting lasting change both to yourself & the world

Note that i said NEED. Not want.

That terminology is extra important here b/c *wanting* to do something VS *needing* to do something are vastly different ideals.

I need to change. You need to change. We HAVE to change. We are creatures OF change.

Do we not evolve and grow?
Isn’t that the goal?

Being brave in the face of adversity doesnt mean a denial of how you feel in the moment. Being brave in the moment is an acknowledgment that you ARE scared & you NEED to do something about it. ❤️

Its the most obnoxious thing in the world and so many of us are going through it to absolutely HORRIBLE degrees and I 10000% **DO** empathize but I will also not be driven crazy by that in every second of what little free time I have when i can barely keep my own head above water

I am not your personal mutual aid machine to pester. Do not treat me such.

This isnt being conditional on being helped. Dont take advantage of me like I’m your personal retweet machine and then get mad at me when I visibly blow you off for it.

THAT is what pisses me off and makes me block you.

I dont care who you are.

I never ever mind helping people but when you message me and ONLY me in every damn thing every few mins to the point that I cant even keep up with my own stuff b/c you have 4 accounts coming at me at once from every end then yeah im gonna block you until you get the point.

I understand what they were saying, but also:

We should not need a single loud group to lead an entire movement, AGAIN, leading to the eventual assassination of those that dared to lead.
We should have learned. But no. Very strong feelings.

Today, I read to every class about MLK Jr. and the civil rights movement.

A student, who has to move soon due to the encroaching danger from ICE, said, “We could use another Martin Luther King right now….”

And that’s how a second grader almost made me cry today.

Not a sub going on a full pro-Trump rant during story time in the library………………

The kids were all so uncomfortable (for obvious reasons), so I told them to speak to a trusted adult when they get home about it.

Imagine telling a class with a 100% immigrant parent population that Trump is good.

The concept of loving yourself more than anyone else first really breaks brains.

And I’m just like all these problems would shift, if you shifted how you position yourself in your own universe.

Anywho, the main truth I know is that there's ALWAYS something that can be done. Always. You just have to find the things you can do.
