Spoke with someone who's a teacher today. Asking me for advice, asking me what to do. I told him, just being in your position and existing is resistance enough. Told him that many of my audience are very young, the same age as the high schoolers he teaches. Told him that much of the youth is beginning to understand the task ahead of us.

Grieve the life you were promised and never destined to live, give space for that. Then, realize you are no longer subject to the tyranny of that lie. Now is the time of monsters MOTHERFUCKER and are you going to cower behind the city walls?

Exactly. I used to teach, and that's the same way I felt about it. I definitely commie'd up my lessons in subtle ways, and I was always open and honest with them. That's the most important thing you can do, so long as it's safe for your position. I didn't have a lot of oversight, so I got away with quite a bit of things I shouldn't have, even in a very conservative (voucher-oriented, blech) state.
