I don’t typically post political commentary. Not because I’m apolitical or apathetic or ashamed; those who know me know where I stand. And I struggle against screaming in the echo chamber. I’m saying what’s already being said..

I’m a single molecule in a bright blue sea, and everything I see is already reflective of me (I also don’t think I’m particularly eloquent, especially in a world where your 300 characters of cleverness tends to define you. Me not so smart. Me ok wit dat.).
My instinct is to scream, throw middle fingers, shriek “FUCK ALL THESE FUCKING THINGS, ESPECIALLY THAT FUCKING ONE RIGHT FUCKING THERE!” At some point in my life I transitioned from loud and uncouth, to civility and decorousness. No idea how or why the fuck that happened.
At one point, I had even said, “I don’t support violence, so I won’t support punching Nazis. It’s not what “we” do. “We” follow the rules. “We” speak rationally. “We” follow rules. I’m ashamed of that post. I think about it a lot. There’s a lot of toxicity in that flavor of thinking.
Today, I like to think that I would punch a Nazi until there’s nothing left to punch. I’m not young or strong anymore, so I might need someone to hold them down for me.
I’m tired of typing on my phone. I hope these posts arrive coherently arranged. I don’t know what I’m doing. Posting this is more of a promise to myself to stop screaming into my own void. It’s ok if we scream together. It doesn’t have to be elegant.
