especially when you have to look at your kid and say you can't swim in the pool because the whole thing is closed.
That drain pool politics is how we are where we are, is why we are where we are now.
Deciding that we're going to build a pool, keep it free, that everybody can come and swim in it, right?
And if you need a free bus route or a free swimming lesson in order to avail yourself of it, then we'll do that too.
That's the kind of world building I'm interested in.
And we practice that world building now by how we fight together.
by how we build together, by how we push back together, by how we make sure that the people with the most privilege are at the front of the line, not to tell other people what to do, but to protect the most vulnerable.
That's what being with each other helps us do.
If we were together at the pool, maybe we wouldn't be here right now if we knew how to be together.
And that's not no kumbaya, let's all hold our hands and sing together.
That is me and all of us understanding that there are real life consequences for structural choices.
And the consequence for us is that we don't know how to fight to win because we've been divided from each other and we've accepted that division.
Yeah, not sleeping.
Some of that is like, some of that is because of life.
Some of that is perimenopause.
But keep going.
You do not want a bunch of hostile, angry women coming at you.
Man, the people and their lost wages and all that.
Yes.
Thanks.
