Short break, a quick thought…
Sometimes I read posts on Mastodon about allyship and it always reminds me of a longer discussion I had with my wife about the rights of women and microagressions and related topics and she didn’t care much about all that. The main point she came back to again and again was: I don’t care about this, I just want equal pay for equal work.
I think what she was getting at is that the finger pointing at the moon is not the moon: Talking about being an ally is not the same as actually being an ally for real people in your life.
If you then look around and don’t see a lot of people needing an ally, there are a couple of options, I guess:
I’m thinking about that for a bit.
