Good! If you’re a squirmer, I hope you can lean into that feeling. Your discomfort is healthy. Pulling it closer to you and spending some time with it is the first real step towards understanding that your privilege limits how you experience the world.
Asking me to pipe down is letting your privilege do exactly what it wants to do by default, which is eliminate any perceived threat to it.
