I feel better now that I've given up being a martyr to my profession, for whatever that is worth. And there is still plenty to do, plenty to feel, much room for better work.
Thanks for this, I especially like how you help us think about the trade-offs between "giving up" on different things (e.g. on incarcerated people, vs on the institutions that incarcerate them).
whew, gonna be chewing on all this. always glad for your writing and insight!

Wow, thank you so much for this, Melissa. I will be rereading and reflecting on this.
