In the hopefully final days of my personal lockdown I offer reflections on the past year and what I've learned about what a toxic person I am and why acknowledging that makes me feel better. While on the verge of an episode long asthma attack, I discuss intersectionality and why divesting from whiteness and colonialism will help heal the planet and ourselves.
