Refusing to tolerate harm, abuse of power, or bigotry is not moral purism. It’s drawing non-negotiable lines.

Demanding perfection from individuals navigating broken, unequal systems is something else entirely. And it often leads to shame, burnout, and people giving up altogether.

That’s the energy I’m bringing into 2026.
