Damn.

But also–

Welp.

Look.

I know this is going to activate a lot of you.

But here we all are in this Weekend of Fearlessness, because this is what we all will have to be if we have any hope of rescuing our sisters and our country: unvarnished and unblinking courage.

What comes up for you when you see this image?

Where are you locating in yourself within it?

And yes, when you look at the last 50 years, including the debacle of second-wave feminism, *you can indeed locate yourself*.

The only way that there is going to be a durable path forward is if we all collectively choose to take the scales off of our eyes and refuse to lie and dissemble for one millisecond more.

ETA: be sure to click through and read the comments.

( an observation. We have the privilege, the absolute privilege, of having Ms. Stephens among us, ready to abide and engage with you all. 654 views later (as of this writing), fewer than 20 unique responses. Is this how you plan to live it out? If you cannot be faithful in the very small act of honoring this prescient and thoughtful black woman, how on Earth do you think you’re going to stay the course in this present Crucible? I’m going to keep re running this until we get no fewer than 100 responses. The community owes no less, both to her, and to the people you guys are all here to learn to hold well and and whom you all swear you stand for and with. Y’all need to learn faithfulness. And discipline. Start now.)
