Be ready.

Be sneaky.

Be blatant.

Sabotage.

Conveniently forget.

Go so slow they don’t notice.

Go so fast they don’t see you coming.

Spend your privilege. Be impolite. Rude, even.

Share your shit. Feed each other. If your neighborhood were on fire, what would you do?

Because it is. I mean it literally is, for some of us out here.

If yours isn’t, it will be soon, and we won’t have time for oily civility, or to make sure our image is in tact, or that we’re all using the exact right academic terminology or bandwagon hashtags before making the kind of gritty togetherness that will keep us all from burning each other to the ground.
