I don't really know when I'll get over this slump, especially when I am about to become tremendously busy come spring. And it might just better I don't make any guarantees.
But I'm keeping myself safe. I'm finding things to do to fill the gaps. That much I can say.

If there is ever a next time someone expresses interest in me, then I want to be loved for who I am. For all my struggles, for all my interests, for my communication, for everything that makes me me. I don't want to be loved only for an idealized concept of me or what is convenient.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

ICE raids are not the first time this was made explicit. I think people downplay how much Jim Crow was not just about controlling Black people but it was also about controlling white people. If you thought racism was dumb and acted that way you could end up with a bomb in your home
Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

I keep thinking about the toxic, pervasive mythology of "rugged individualism" as a driving force in American culture, and how the collective efforts in the Twin Cities right now are proof that the only way through hard times is together, as a community.
