Heroic librarians accepting personal loss to stand against “egregious,” cowardly legislators. The rarity of those willing to stand against fascist idealisms.

There's a fine line between #StandingUp for #repressed groups or people, and #fixing things for them.

The first makes space for them to speak and be heard. The second sets you up as the "savior" and takes away their #agency.

It's likely that you will tapdance across that line more than once in your life. When that happens, don't fall on your sword. Just stop, ask someone you intended to help what help they'd like, and give that help if possible.
