What this is doing to us

it's a very intimate look at what that is like for individual people.

You know, we were all experiencing having right-wing violence foisted upon us from above, but this is, I don't know.

There were these like small moments of like physical intimacy.

Like when you're, you're at the castle for the party and you know, you and Peter Brimlow are exchanging like this lighthearted moment and you reach out and you put your hand on his shoulder instinctively.

When you're sharing laughter with someone, you put out, you put your hand on his shoulder instinctively.

And like, you know, recoiled immediately and didn't know why you had done that.

But this like tiny moment of physical intimacy that, you know, this was a person or the transgender mushroom farmer, Lisa Marie, who sought out Lydia Brimlow at church and shook her hand during the rite of peace.

Like, I would have loved to have seen that.

She sounds amazing.

I would love to meet Lisa Marie.

Well, I'll tell you about her in a second.

And I'm sure that for people who know him in a friendly way in the movement, that he's fun.

You know, he likes to drink.

Room temperature vodka.

He has that British way of just some kind of dry remark about things going to pot.

Like, you know, I'm sure it's fun for people who know him.

It's just more that I'm just talking.

Well, yeah, because he's human.

Humanizing doesn't mean excusing or, you know, coming to appreciate in any way.
