“I Am Not Your Cup of Tea” I am not your cup of tea because I am made too strong and frankly, too hot for you to enjoy maybe you can tolerate me in tiny sips but I don’t want to be tolerated.

“This work of leaving, of aiming to challenge power on the field where it maintains the least glaring asymmetry, demands one answer the question: What are you willing to give up to alleviate someone else’s suffering? It makes it impossible for one so engaged to not understand, with terrible clarity, that under the auspices of this machine, the prevailing answer echoing from the mouths of so many of one’s own neighbors is: Nothing at all.”
