@thegaythatcould totally lol, i just feel like the word community is like salad dressing at this point. you can throw that word on top of anything! often has no meaning, and is completely weaponized to create false equivalences or exploit people. i still use it when useful tho!
i will probably be pretty offline for awhile. i feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have such a robust support network. i am incredibly proud of my 6+ years of ACT UP advocacy and nothing will take away from that. ttyl! you know where to find me.
i am very sad! appreciate those checking in. i won’t be answering requests to fill anyone in because this is deep hurt, not just fun gossip. feeling very held by my longterm ACT UP family, including co founding members and professional public health advocates. i stand by my work!
