Nora: (picture: video title "What can I do about racism and discrimination?")

And a book: Reni Eddo-Lodge - Why I'm No Longer Talking To White People About Race

(picture: "Emotional labor -- When privileged people (whites, men, etc.) demand to be educated, shown facts, etc. by marginalised groups (for example by sea-lioning), or the acceptance of their ignorance, which they hide with "This is just my opinion". In the process, the work and used mental power of the marginalised person isn't taken into consideration/being recognised. It's a form of silencing. When the affected person doesn't want to do this, people often use arguments like "Ha, look, you don't have any arguments anymore" "You know that I'm right!" to force the marginalised person to even more emotional labor via an response, also called gaslighting.)

That part about "demanding to be educated" maybe fits quite well to your situation with Ava?

Mailin: Hey

Somehow what you sent me really hit me

I have to think about it all the time

Nora: We can talk anytime if you want

It's going to be okay 😊

There were less fights this year (naturally) but the percentage of kids on free and reduced lunch in my district is now at 100%.
