Yeah, I spent most of my life just trying to be good, just do what was put in front of me as this is how you marry a man. You carry on the religion of your family. I really stuck to the menu. And when I met Abby, she just doesn't look at a menu in any way, like a literal menu. She lives from the inside out as opposed to the outside in.

And I think especially right now those categories that are on the menu are gonna get more narrow and more narrow and anybody who's living off the menu in any way is gonna, there's gonna be regulations and there's gonna be rules and there's gonna be laws and we just keep telling our queer kids and all kids that, you know, they're not afraid of you because you're bad.

They're afraid of you because you're really alive and because you're free and they know that freedom is contagious. So I just want everybody to keep living off the menu and stick together because it's going to be a tough time. But, you know, just like we brought people together in this book. The Wayfinders, we are at a time where we're very isolated and lonely. And we used to have campfires.

We used to live intergenerationally. We had wisdom that we could gather from each other. And I just think it's a time not for self-help but for collective wisdom where we learn from each other.

Yeah, just make it tight. Yeah. I mean, look, I haven't been doing well. I don't know that anybody that's paying attention is doing well right now. I've been really frozen, honestly. I wake up filled with fear and rage. I am also at the intersection of fascism and menopause. So I don't know. Yeah. It's a pleasure cruise. Where I am. Is it fascism? Is it menopause?

So, but I recently, I really have been in a bit of a frozen, like I'm in a small room and my entire house is on fire and I'm just not doing anything.

But recently I jumped back in and we're actually doing our whole tour in conjunction with groups all over the country that are like the Florence Project, that are standing with the unaccompanied children who have lost all their funding, so who are now representing themselves in courtrooms all over the country for their deportation hearings against ICE lawyers.

I myself have seen with my own eyes a little two-year-old in a seat with a booster seat, really representing himself, not knowing where his parents are. So, you know, we are doing this tour to raise funds for those organizations all over the country.

And the second I got back in, the second I found Elaine and just found the heroes, the Florence Project people are my heroes, and started following the people who are always doing the work day in and day out, not just dumpster fire years, but all the years, I started to get that hope back again. So I think we are all forgiven for being a little bit frozen for a while, but it's time now.
