As I was writing the piece, part of my issue was that our collective response to…everything…is collapsed. Call outs elicit both a consistent negative and dismissive energy, and a pleasurable take-down activation, regardless of what the call out is addressing. It has started to feel like every kind of dissonance in movements is understood through a lens of violence, abuse, and victimization. I believe that my collapse of these distinct but interconnected states of breakdown between people is indicative of a collapse of these states and needs within movement. We are in the mud together.
