🚨 Ignoring your passions isn’t just counterproductive—it’s a recipe for burnout. You can’t fake what truly makes you tick. Suppress it long enough, and it will show up as frustration, disengagement, or worse. Find an outlet, be real, and fuel what drives you. 🔥

Now extend that thinking to other homeless people in LA, who lost their homes to other, less famous fires.
Or to medical bankruptcy.
Or to rent that rose much more rapidly than they could anticipate or react to.
Or to loss of vehicle needed for work due to being struck by an uninsured motorist.

Some of the people that lost their homes in Altadena, will be living in their cars or tents 6 months from now, with the few possessions that they could save.
If tomorrow, I cited them for sleeping in public, and then threw the rest of their stuff away? You'd call me evil! But in 6 months? Sweep!

Everyone Black and Indigenous has experienced the constant needless opposition and contrarianism from people who come out of the woodwork to argue, contradict, insult, and minimize our successes at every turn. My white friends notice; they say "why are people like that to you?". It's the racism!

White Mediocrity Empowers White Villainy: A Conversation with Koritha Mitchell
“Not only does whiteness empower folk to destroy entire communities; it empowers them to say to your face that the destruction doesn't have reverberating effects in the current moment.”

i hate that this is relevant across many industries 🫠
Huge congratulations to every entertainment industry CEO celebrating Emmy nominations today for work that other people wrote, directed, acted in, crewed, designed, produced, edited (and more!!!). And a non-sarcastic congratulations to the people who actually did the work!!!!
