That is this like vicious cycle that we're going to have to make a decision on.

when I think about Black people in the US South had to go to jobs where they weren't getting any wages that were livable at all, and they had to keep their families safe, and they had to go study for the bullshit tests to take the vote, and then they had to wait in the lines that were intentionally long so that they could vote, and then with every single thing against them.

And if they had just been like, it's too much, which is what everyone was counting on them doing, then

there wouldn't have been any progress.

So I just think there's a little bit of like, yeah, it fucking sucks and onward we go.

We have to decide what is elective.

I know what goes into our culture right now.

I am in a type A crazy ass community right now where I know that when there's a baseball game,

There's about 17 hours of invisible women labor that goes into the fucking snacks and the decorations and the who's having the party and what's going to happen after.

And I do think we need to take an honest assessment of what we are putting our energy toward and decide now.

Is that the best and highest use of our energy?

We are not taking time away from our kids to decide that they actually don't need some of that.

And what they actually need is a republic in which they can exist and they can have sustainable infrastructure that we do not currently enjoy.

So there's going to be some hard decisions and it's not necessarily...

Take your basket that's already overflowing and add more shit to it.

It's can you take all that shit out of your basket and decide what you want to put back in and what is the use of your life?

Because I know we have organizing skills.

I know it to pieces.

I know in 30 seconds we can make a whole ass caravan, get exactly where it needs to get to the game with all the decorations it needs and all the food.

And also have you thought about X, Y, and Z that we swear to God our kids need?
