"But undocumented immigrants are breaking the law."
I don't care. Not even a little.
Trump broke the law. His insurrectionists broke the law. And when they did, you insisted that breaking the law is patriotic and that our freedom fighters were all law breakers.
By the standards that you actively uphold, undocumented immigrants are patriots. So I will treat them like patriots.
Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.

I like the dark part of the night, after midnight and before four-thirty, when it’s hollow, when ceilings are harder and farther away. Then I can breathe, and can think while others are sleeping, in a way can stop time, can have it so – this has always been my dream – so that while everyone else is frozen, I can work busily about them, doing whatever it is that needs to be done, like the elves who make the shoes while children sleep.
Dave Eggers, A Heartbreaking Work of a Staggering Genius (via the-book-diaries)
