After so many years of trying in various ways to improve things by the usual means of activism or advocacy or leadership roles without seeing it bear fruit, we could give up or we can find another way. If that is "kill or be killed," then so be it. I really do sense that we are at that inflection point, Tony. Things are not the same as they were, and we are on the edge. It feels a bit tricky to navigate (especially in a compassionate, humane way), but the only path is forward. It's not what I expected. But it's where we are. I hope to make it through, make a few decisive moves of my own and see a better future. No way I'm giving up.
