One thing I really wish for my trans and NB siblings is that they can just live their lives and do normal stuff rather than have to be plugged into batshit hateful discourse every five seconds and make everything about their identities and right to exist as they are.

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

It's a miracle that schools function at all day-to-day, given the demands we make of school workers across the entire system relative to the resources we provide them to make good on our demands. It's a thing held together through a collective effort that puts the moon landing to shame.

Your enemies are counting on you to lose hope. Despair is one of their greatest weapons, for it leads you to stop fighting for yourself. Hold on to hope, no matter how hard it is, and refuse to join your enemy in bringing you down.
