Gratitude post

[flamingsword]

I am grateful for anti-racism work, for the progress towards decolonization that is happening - however slowly. I am glad that white people are waking up to the fact that this is our problem to fix. I am glad for the decolonization work I have done in my own head having made me a better, more stable, more understanding person.

I am grateful for whistleblowers. I am grateful for the people who bring us the truth at great risk to themselves. I honor their fear, and their bravery.

I am grateful for therapy, for slow progress that makes me better able to cope with a world not designed to be lived in by people like me. I am grateful for ASAN, for advocacy, for activism that pushes the world to be livable for me and everyone.
