“I want to believe we’re moving forward as a society and this surge of bigotry and violence is the final kick and scream, a last-ditch effort to hang on to the white patriarchal systems that favor the privileged. . If we’re going to make it, we have to look at the fear. . We have to get into it. Throw it against the wall, stand back and take a good close look. It’s ugly: heavy, dark, and centuries in the making. You might want to move on, to turn it off, watch something else, but wait—look again. Look closer. How was it made? When was it made? What was happening when it was made? What are you going to do about it? And when are you going to start? . Now, I think. . Today.” • A few words of determination from Megan Stielstra’s THE WRONG WAY TO SAVE YOUR LIFE.
