DON’T HESITATE ❤️🔥💜❤️🔥
I really detest the narrative of “going for low-hanging fruit”, of begging for progress in scraps and crumbs. I know we can get places by playing nice and taking part in the bureaucratic tea party. But every new time I have to smile politely and acquiesce and placate, I feel a burning urge to set the whole masquerade ball on fire.
I don’t want to assimilate. I want to rend the boundaries that dictate there is a standard to assimilate to.
