   To be a Wizard is to attempt every day to keep Death away from oneself, even if it means turning it onto someone else.

   I’m struggling with political conversations that are dominated by false dichotomies. Most issues are not binary and the discourses we end up having are not only divisive, but even worse: they are fundamentally uninteresting.

   There has to be a way for us to have conversations without vilifying each other.

   And I know this is hard because some people *do* actually take advantage of these confrontations to further their own agendas.

   But we can’t let extremists define the parameters of our discussions. There has to be room for nuance. There has to be room for saying “yes, and”. There has to be room for standing *for* something without that implying that you are against something else.

   To be a tad less vague, I can actually believe that human rights is not a zero sum game. That someone having human rights does not mean we have to take them away from someone else.
