You also don’t need to assume your personal identity needs to be part of your work. For example maybe you’re scared shitless about your mom’s immigration status, but you’re a labor organizer.

It’s ok to focus on labor, and you don’t have to be the immigration poster child while you’re doing that

That’s a completely valid point but i don’t mean to make that comparison so much as to muse about balancing gratitude for their dedication and influence with the dread of knowing they’ll leave a huge void.

The stakes aren’t the same but Bernie is pretty singular as a voice of reason with integrity

i mean, bernie will retire and be replaced by another dem. him not retiring isn't standing in the way of anything, or fucking over his entire legacy. RBG being too proud to retire during an admin where she could be safely replaced by a like-minded judge has fucked us over for *generations*
