Here’s another question I got on Instagram the other day: “Does the
Twitter discourse concerning you ever bum you out?”

I think sometimes it does. 

But it’s not criticism that’s concerning — it's bad faith. And that really
reveals itself in patterns over longer periods of time.

I think there’s a lot of people who sit in a lot of anger, frustration,
and despair, and channel it into destructive energy – which I think is
understandable. But I think there are people who confuse commenting online
with actual, real-life organizing, impact, and work.

I also think that – and this is a hot take – some people want to be sold
out. Because cynicism is a lot easier than hope in a difficult world where
you are challenging power against all odds. It’s just easier to give up.

We refuse to give up. Not now, not ever.
