As a first-gen student, I've always known that other students with legacies in academia or family histories of college education have inherent advantages over me, but I don't think I've ever been able to see and understand that as clearly as today.

I was invited to give an MLK speech today and a small number of members of the group hosting me wrote and then leaked emails opposing my giving this speech, as it dishonored Dr. King for me to do so. They called me a "discredited activist" "unworthy of such association with King"

My heart broke a little on Monday.

I was in class with 30ish 6 year olds doing an activity where they had to draw themselves and write a sentence about what was most important to them. They were all really excited and got started straightaway.

My precinct is HOPING to get to 200 voters by seven pm.

If I hadn't been buried under work, I would have been screaming about this all day. These tiny, interim elections? ARE SO FUCKING IMPORTANT.
