"The best way to convince our shared enemies, and yourself, that you’re not NPC, is to play."- is brilliant for its concise simplicity (and the gaming reference!) Thank you.
i love this so much. lately my coping strategy has been printing out holographic stickers of resistance and sticking them everywhere i go, i want to make so many stickers out of these quotes, but instead i am just going to implore nearly everyone i know to read this. thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you. I attended a town hall with my democratic congressman yesterday. He said it's absolutely vital we keep calling and emailing our elected officials and also said we should contact The White House direct. He said the courts are our line of defense - a reminder to direct funds to legal nonprofits like ACLU - and so far the Trump regime is abiding by judge's rulings. We have to keep the pressure on.
Thank you, Sarah, for writing this. How to engage when I have a toddler, a chronic illness and no energy, has been an ongoing quandary for me. This helped: 'The small things matter. Nearly anyone can do them. To act politically is a muscle and a muscle that atrophies. It makes sense, maybe, to try to stay fit.' Love the Solmaz Sharif poem too.
This is wonderful, thank you! I would add, if it’s okay: please consider linking to Tidal rather than Spotify! Tidal links are universal, i.e. whatever service someone uses can be accessed via a Tidal link, with the added benefit that unlike Spotify, Tidal did not donate $150,000 of caviar and champagne to Tr*mp’s inauguration + doesn’t have ghost musicians diluting royalties from real artists!
“The seductive promise of fascism, many intellectuals have observed, is you do not have to think about other people. Everyone who you’re not concerned with or dislike gets to be NPC.”
Yes. This is it. This is it right here. As Toni Morrison said: The appeal of bigotry is that it feels good.
a note: when I click on the "who represents me NYC" link you posted, it has an autofilled address in the search bar. I wanted to let you know in case this is a known address to you that you prefer not to share.

Clarifying and grounding, reminding us of our power — as always, Sarah. Thank you ❤️
