I'm so disappointed in myself. I know exactly what I'm going to end up doing. I'll keep doing the exact same thing. Working on de-escalation and educating people. Probably to the point that I end up relenting and taking back Joe and seeing our conversations as "practice". Especially the part where I teach him critical thinking without insulting his intelligence.
And spreading my name as a local artist. That too. Trying to get locals to google my name and swing by my website where I have my agenda splashed all over it is intentional. Might find ways to get my voice a little louder, locally.
