Rereading “Let This Radicalize You” by @prisonculture.bsky.social and I’m hanging on to this paragraph right here…

Sometimes, we need to be literal about meeting people where they are at. Think about all of the places people congregate in person and remotely where conversation is possible, from restaurants to schools, parks, porches, places of worship, street fairs, text message threads—and so many more.”
