I’m very confused. Half my timeline is telling me if I don’t post a black square to my Instagram, I’m complicit. The other half says if I do, I’m performative. I really don’t want to fuel more distraction. Instead, I’m donating money, encouraging voting, and amplifying POC voices
Last night, I was walking to my car on High Street in Downtown Columbus. A SWAT officer chased me on his bike for about a block while I was sprinting away. I had my hands up and a camera in hand. He told me it was “too fucking late” to leave. He maced me three separate times.
