“Nothing to grasp here. Help us avoid you. I am not as just as I think I am. Still. Depleted. It has to be simple. Nothing to see here. Do not protect me. Recharge. Recover. Rewire. Rebel. Tone-deaf. Guilt. Shame. Exclusion. Seclusion. Masking. Empowerment. It’s not what it seems. Stagnation blues. I am an ableist. I am a typicalist. Love yourself.”

For me they all merge under the roof of “democratization” and “empathy”. Please see the following tweet thread for inspiration for this particular work:
