"x is beneficial to x group and should be widely implemented" and "x can (and has) been weaponized against BIPOC and there should be some kind of oversight and responsibility when implementing it" are not contradicting statements and i wish to god white people will understand this one day.

There are things I am done with like feeling empty
in the spaces between my fingers
where a whole life once rested. Or longing
