I want to repeat what I was saying a few days ago to our chronically ill & disabled comrades, because I *know* you need to hear it.

Some of you have to spend much of your time & energy on caring for yourself—that too is the work.

Because here's the truth: we need you. For so many reasons we need you.

I see you giving of yourselves in a million ways. I see you educating people & sharing resources. I see you making things for people. I see you doing good things.

So whatever it takes for you to be in a space where you can give what you have to offer: that's the work.

For some people, staying alive is the work. I bet you're helping people in ways you don't even realize, but if you feel like all you are doing is surviving, you're keeping one of our comrades alive (you).

This is a situation where no one is insignificant. Solidarity means all of us. Solidarity means no one is left behind or discarded. Solidarity means you fucking matter, & we need you.

Survival is resistance.
Survival is solidarity.

Do you know how many people are devoting their time, talent, and treasure to making sure people (esp but not exclusively those *being targeted by the regime*) SURVIVE? Every one of us who keeps going is a WIN for all of us.

*We* are who will win this.
*We* have to outlast them.

Take care, my friends.
