“Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human disagrees with you, let them live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you will not find another.” ~ Carl Sagan, Cosmos
The bigger the issue, the smaller you write. Remember that. You don’t write about the horrors of war. No. You write about a kid’s burnt socks lying on the road. You pick the smallest manageable part of the big thing, and you work off the resonance.

So based on this post I created an NVCR stained glass memorial wall for all the dead interns, depicting (more or less) how they died. (Many patterns and images taken from google such as the lighthouse and the forest. If you see your pattern pls tell me so I can correctly credit you.) I take requests!
“Psychologists say it’s not uncommon to think of fictional characters as your friends. They call these attachments parasocial relationships, and a growing body of research suggests there may be more to these connections than we realize. It turns out that as we grow emotionally attached to characters who are part of a minority group, our prejudices tend to recede.“
This is another reminder of how important initiatives like everysinglewordspoken are. Not only to demand media representation for POC, but to change group attitudes about the ‘other’ and erase prejudice on a wide scale.
