“We’re Ready… Do Not Give In To Fear. We Are Fearless…
This Is A Time To Stand Up & Fight Back. To Resist Any Temptation To Be Divided.
We’re In This Together... We Will Not Give In. We Will Not Give Up.
We Will Not Capitulate. We Will Not Bow. We Will Not Bend. We Will Survive.”
-Tish James

My lived Experience Since Childhood:
I can tell someone is Creepy AF.
I proceed to treat them that way.
Other humans treat me like poop & say I am overreacting/being mean.
Once Creepiness is revealed = Same humans upset at my “I told you so!” & accompanying swear words towards them.

Those young people making gas masks, hacking networks to communicate, making their own weapons as needed.

My usual Anti-American Apartheid Celebration Day aka MLK Jr. Day tradition in the states = Do something I would not have been able to do before desegregation.
Some years it is going to the movies or dinner, other years it may be going to the library and drinking from the water fountain.
