comfort with discomfort

 A reflective day. Scary.

• 1. Chat with business folks on a project I spent six years on, resulting in my arrest and criminal proceedings.
• 2. Chat with education folks on volunteering in spaces where my views are controversial.
• 3. Chat with technical folks on my current work that traverses high and low ends of the stack.

All of it is disturbing, not because I find it hard to do in and of itself ... but because there are people who fear these things, and the people who do them.

So much effort to be polite, is needed, in this world.
