9. When your protest looks like my weekend in Napa

Maybe the urgency of the situation is not translating in the way desired.

I am done with performative protest. That's all we have to offer much of the time. Here we are, on the knife's edge, where women are about to be pushed back decades.

Garden party, people.

I'm tired of the performative constantly being praised as if it is "doing something."

I'm a white guy who lives in an upscale neighborhood. If your protest looks like what I do in my yard on days off, one probably shouldn't praise the activism of it all.
