      ~2014 I was on a list of 👾🐊 targets. Ever since I have always know how I would disappear if necessary. I’ve lived like this for THREE YEARS.

                Some white dudes worry diminishing ~65% of population causes problems. Me: worry that doing my job makes people want to physically harm me.
