The law is not the sum total of our freedom dreams. The law does not fix generational harm. What the law can do is hold space while we do the work. It documents histories, defines and acknowledges harms, and gives us language for the struggle. We know there is more work to be done.

Meanwhile Charlo & Kamini are here, and the state is prancing around, laying out the red carpet, parading our wares for them to come & turn over & approve, and doing everything possible to make the visit comfortable.
Sigh.

I asked Mithu what he thought
and he said, Masi I think the most useful thing is to be yourself
