@baratunde this is very much the place I've come to in the last few weeks. This is not walking away from, or ignoring, the fight. This is choosing not to condition my full human experience so completely on other people; abandon the truncated experience.

Thanks for putting words to this experience and sharing it.

Btw, the #BlackMenFrolicking TikTok video was the best thing I've had for my soul in a very long time!

I was having a pretty shoddy day today, until I came across this wholesome #BlackMenFrolicking compilation on TikTok. And now my day is so much better for it… 👌🏻👏🏻

The most amazing way to start the weekend. #FrolicFriday #BlackMenFrolicking #BlackHistoryMonth
