I just don’t know how to not ruminate about the fact that my country is running fucking death camps. There were ICE raids in neighborhoods in my city, neighborhoods that my students lived in (before they made it impossible to teach and be trans).
The government of my state is absolutely failing. I advocated for a child in foster care for a while - when I found messages between her and an adult man and tried to get anyone to do anything about it, they suggested that I might be sexually abusing her myself.
Everything is backwards. Skill and merit don’t matter anymore, while they pretend they’re getting rid of “DEI” - which in effective means they’d rather have an unqualified white guy than the most qualified POC or queer person.
I just don’t get it. Why is the world so fucking evil?
I feel much the same. The best I can do is give em hell and make them as uncomfortable as possible. I try to affect those nearest to me and to explain things they may not understand. The propaganda of greed and selfishness is rampant and currently winning, but the pendulum always swings back. I know it’s easier said than done, and Lord knows I struggle too, but keep your head up and keep fighting the good fight.
