- My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.
- This is one reason I keep trying to remind people of the power that we have. That we have *always* had. Not because I’m in denial, but because I know history. I’m no sophisticated intellectual, but I do know we’re going to win even though the bad shit is really terrible right now.
- Most people don’t go to a city council meeting. If you go and tell them you vote and you want action even once, you’ve moved the needle.
- The old view was that lawsuits create change by making precedent. Fuck that. You know how lawsuits prevent harm now? By being so fucking annoying to deal with.
- Absolutely right! We got Flock surveillance cameras canceled in our county by basically annoying our sheriff into submission. Never forget: they're trapped in here with YOU, not the other way around.
- I’m naturally annoying, but I’m really doubling my efforts!
