That's when I'm completely fear-based and ungrounded.

You know, we know that we will be lost the more we're lost just in our minds and we're not in our bodies connected to each other.

So imagine then how much more lost we are when we're once removed from our minds and we're lost in the collective mind.

That is just the absolute most terrifying place to live.

So I feel a responsibility to be in social media land sometimes and to speak from there.

I think the new like the revolution will not be televised is what I experienced in my body is the revolution will not be on Instagram.

Like it is daily happening in your communities.

And the way that we make peace with our bodies is we put our bodies in those spaces and we start loving our neighbors in small ways and following the people who are leading.

What do you think when you hear that, Sissy, about parents with little ones right now?

I mean, I just can't imagine.

I have big ones and I'm struggling remembering their names and to look at them and like to be present with them because I'm so scared of the world I'm leaving them in that I'm just leaving them now.

So do you have any thoughts about that?

God damn, if we could only organize the resistance like we organize a graduation party.

We struggle to find the time to show up for resistance work or liberation work because we have to pay our bills, because we don't have enough, because we alone have to make our families survive.

And those things are so connected because we don't have community.

That's what we're saying.

If we get involved in these little things, we have community that then

collectively cares for each other and collectively, but the individualism we've been forced to inside of white supremacy and capitalism forces us to be so alone that we feel like we don't have the time because we're too terrified of not surviving in our aloneness because nobody can survive alone.

The climb to exceptionalism, it's like the culture, the ethos of all of this is individualism and exceptionalism.

The reason that we are so obsessed with spending 80 hours a week manipulating our children's lives so that they might get a scholarship.
