I maneuvered it into the background of the cover image of a program for the cybersec conference I help run. The full image featured the conference banner I hilariously dragged around town at dawn in search of a good spot 😂

And a listener made more powerful by their acting of hearing, and healing.

Powerful survivor. Powerful listener.
Us.
In our multitudes. Our hundreds, thousands, millions.

We can make change. 7/*

Listen. Hear. Acknowledge. Empathize without stealing the moment. Give space with silence and patience.

If doors open, and stories come out... and screams come out... there is buried behind each door & story & scream... beyond the acknowledgement & sorrow & healing... a powerful survivor... 6/?

The scale at which millions may have elevated sexual assaulters to power, to sacrifice the law to keep them there, who create deadly distractions to keep in power, we have never, ever seen.

See how hard the powerful work to keep the doors closed?

This is the moment doors can open... 5/?

& NEVER under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES interrupt them (even if there's a great pause between vocalizations), to say "I know what you mean..." and yarn about a barely relevant tangent. Even if it was relevant -- even if the exact same thing happened to you, or worse -- DO NOT interrupt the door opening 4/?
