Naming things, breaking through taboos and denial is the most dangerous, terrifying, and crucial work. this has to happen in spite of political climates or coercions, in spite of careers being won or lost, in spite of the fear of being criticized, outcast, or disliked. i believe freedom begins with naming things. humanity is preserved by it.
