So you want to build community?

It’s always listen to Black people until they don’t serve the status quo or your comfort.

It’s always listen to disabled people until that seems unreasonable to you and somehow ableist to expect more from you while the extremely disabled are burning out from covering your load.

It’s always listen to marginalized elders until it bruises your ego.

It’s always listen to queer people until you haven’t unpacked your internalized bigotry.

It’s always listen to the thinkers and researchers until you don’t like the information.

That’s not conducive to building community.

Facts over feelings, comrades. The least you can do is mask up.

It’s messages like this. Glances of silent appreciation, Changed behavior that makes the Lone Ranger role all the worth it.
