The Ladder of Hypocrisy

Those who have been hurt only know how to hurt and for which they have spite to the knowledge of care and virtue only to learn that their existence was of spite to which they suffer

for which they know what’s wrong and what’s right and that they are sorry for their knowledge can not act nor atone to their thoughts and their pleas can not change into apologies and for which they can not say sorry

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters
