It’s time for us to take what we need and leave the rest behind.

In the spirit of imperfection being sacred, I’m resisting my inner monologue’s insistence that I can’t post this response until I’m ready to launch a section of the site that’s just for spontaneous, unscripted voice replies.

I picked a random post for my first indieweb reply, and wow. If it was a Prince song it would be titled “When Nerds Cry”.

It’s wild and alarming to me that so many people are defending the use of degradation as a weapon on the post about ableist slurs like “stupid”.

Unite against hate! Stop letting them call it ‘LGBT Without the T’. Its name is cis supremacy.

“America” is a magical word of power that can be used to invoke the courage, strength, resilience, and raw energetic freedom that animates us all.

Some people want to isolate “logic” from the rest of the human experience because they know that anger and frustration are emotional signals of injustice.

A future where our power flows from within us into the solutions we craft together becomes possible when we stand in our power to shift the discourse around the beauty of new creation to make empire look extreme.
