i know that it sounds all heady and jargon-y, but it’s actually a somatic feeling that alerts me and that experience regularly. i want to pay attention to that feeling and follow its lead.

i don’t want to invest in relationships with people who are invested in Empire or weaponize the language of radicalism to replicate the tools of Empire.

how can i find & build with people who are “divested from liberalism,” as Dean says?

there were so many important nuggets, maybe i’ll transcribe some of my notes soon, but the one thing that hit me like a ton of bricks was Dean saying, “it’s a problem if you are the most radical person you know; they are pulling you down!”
