Radical power is valid, and being angry is extremely understandable. It takes a lot of courage to be able to step back like you’ve done, I respect the absolute hell out of that.

Believe me I’m not all positive about things, I have my personal motivations and I’ve been through enough training to know where and when to focus my energy, that’s all.

I’ve been in fights with people too and I’m easily drawn into them, I’ve honestly only been able to stop myself because I’ve been through a ton of therapy after some particularly traumatic experiences. I’ve spent many a night laying awake furious about what’s happening in the world. Those subsidies are a particular point of pain for me and I hope to be able to do something about it one day, but participating in and organizing a campaign are very different things. For now, I’m on regen as I take some time to process the last week and spend time with my family.

I do really appreciate your post, it’s been a good venting opportunity haha, and amazing to know how many allies there are in this community. ✊
