Today was a long long day. But I’ve been thinking ever since @angelicaross asked me on her show today what do I need — too few people ask that question. So few that I honestly didn’t even know what to say.

We often ask people what they can do for us — but what do we do for others that helps keep them going?

I’m tired y’all. I run two organizations, just put out a book, got my eyes set on 2021 and still am trying to figure it all out. I’m still tryna find people who wanna do this work, the hard work of it, and it feels impossible

I’m trying to blaze trails and contending with the last decade of misinformation about what it means to be a part of a movement, dealing with folks that wanna be down with all the cute stuff and none of the hard stuff. It makes our work so much harder.

Anyhoo this isn’t a pity party. Just a reflection that we need more people who want to really do work — not just be proximate to it because it makes them feel good. And we need to support folks who step out to do amazing shit. That’s all.
