They discuss the difference between ignorance and bigotry, the fatigue of sustained activism, and why the small daily acts of community care matter more than any grand gesture. The conversation also explores queer and drag history, the legacy of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, and why knowing where we've been is the only way to survive where we're going. ★Keywords★ drag activism, Palestine solidarity, queer history, liberation, community care, mutual aid, fatigue, Marsha P.
