Privilege doesn't dictate
 

how hard we work,
how far we go...


Privilege determines
where we start.

Our privileges are invisible to us.

The world is unjust.

There is some justice.

Awareness that we're focused above the fold.

Curiosity for what
lies beyond.

Consume media that does not centre your experience.

Understand that not everything is made
for your understanding.

Empathy,

a word

Empathy is
a scam.

the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another's position.

empathy

Empathy seeks to validate someone else's lived experience
by centring our own.

Replace empathy with trust.

Trust your users' lived experiences over your own presumptions.

Stop gaslighting lived experiences just because they aren't your own.

If they come for me in the morning, they will come
for you in the night.
