You know what I fucking hate?

That I’m scared to go to work now. 

One coward with a gun and an agenda and I’m afraid to go to work at my bar. The only true gay bar in my city, because I’m afraid that it’s only a matter of time before someone here gets it in their head to come after us. 

I do not tolerate being afraid. I’m the protector. I’m the guardian. I’m the woman everyone has seen break jaws over hate speech or undue violence. Everyone knows me as “Wolf Momma.” Everyone.

And if I’m afraid, how am I supposed to protect those who look to me?

Be not afraid, sharpen my knives. I know. 

But I hate this.
