I have literally nothing smart or witty to contribute. You did the heavy lifting for me there. So just imagine me sitting beside you at the bar, raising a glass to you, and saying "hell yeah. What she said."
Today someone wanted to get me entangled in a discussion about something I did not want to debate. Reading your letter helped understand why: I also do my homework and read all type of opinions to form my conclusions. I don’t leave anything out, no matter how extreme because I want to get a full picture of what I’m trying to understand. But I cannot be part of every discussion on every topic. Let’s go do our work and make a difference where we can make a difference. Talking is good, taking action is better. 👏
this is my first time reading you Chevanne (!), and that line - “I’m not doing any work for anyone who insists on disingenuous discourse and whose main objective is to trap and exhaust me,” is awesome. Really appreciate your perspective here. I’m glad that you’re doing your thing and not giving in to the trolling.
> What I don’t need is to argue about crime in Chicago or alleged absent black fathers.
Yes, you do. You're confusing what you want with what you need.
Had to read this again. Best piece I've seen during the Substack self-immolation.
Back to work.
Thank you so much! 🥰
We won’t get thrown off course.
Hello, Chevanne, and Thank You!
Hello! 👋🏾
So. Well. Said!
Thank you for reading, Holly!
“Did you pick a label for me yet? Is it multisyllabic and clever? I rebuke it.” 🤩👏🏼💃🏻
Thank you for this fire. My heart rate is a bit higher than normal at 6am PST but it’s fine & necessary.
You’re very welcome! Thanks for reading. 🙂
Hod on, you mentioned serpents or sarpents. A new discovery named the republicanus serpentus.
Be well. Be loud.
They "lie" in the grass and carry a poisonous bite.
They surely do. Thank you, Malcolm!
Forgot Rattilus sub order who loudly rattle their tails.
Chevanne, I appreciated every word of this. Thank you for writing it. Now I'm going to go do some work.
Thanks so much, Elizabeth! I’m eager to see what work we all do in this rebellion.

Yessss!! Protecting your energy is so important.
Sure is, Alicia!
Hi, I love you. Keep doing your work.

Like a good farmer we have to throw the grain up in the air to separate out the chaff.
Ayah.
Fire, absolute fire. I’m here for every word of it.
Much appreciated, Amy! 🙏🏾

Welcome, Michael! Glad you’re here. Staying on course is the best thing for me.
Just signed on. I like the cut of your jib.
Thank you, Tom!
