But I listen too, with all I've got.
@killingfloorman The hardest part is when the cost of either is so extremely high. Sometimes you just have to choose art.
@lilyunsub art can be a powerful voice too. The cost is often very high, which is why we all need to offer support where possible π
@killingfloorman True, though art tends to be more of a mirror than a clear voice because some stories are too potent to be faced head on. They have to be told vicariously, in pieces or a way that allows others to find that voice within themselves that whispers those things to them in a way they can hear it.
@killingfloorman Worse, the cost of silence is usually paid for by more vulnerable people, not the silent person. (At least as a white male, ymmv.)
@sfleetucker i agree, hence my comment on supporting those who need it most π
@killingfloorman
Yes. I know which bill I'd prefer to pay, too.
(The one where I talk too much. Sorry. π¬ )
