IN CASE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT KATHLEEN HANNA’S AUTOGRAPH LOOKS LIKE. SHE WROTE THIS. ON A PIECE OF PAPER. WHICH LAUREN JUST GAVE TO ME. AND IS NOW IN MY POSSESSION.
Recognize that you are not the center of the universe. Figure out how the idea of winning and losing fits into your relationships. Be as vulnerable as you possibly can. Recognize vulnerability and empathy as strengths. Don’t allow the fact that other people are assholes to you make you into a bitter and abusive person. Commit to the revolution as a method of psychological and physical survival.
