Dr. Abolish the Police: Hmmm I am an earnest mf but idk if I do delightfully upbeat. 🤔

We earnest motherfuckers are gonna make this shit happen — and then we’re going to be delightfully upbeat about it

Hmmm I am an earnest mf but idk if I do delightfully upbeat. 🤔

That’s fair! My earnestness makes it hard for me to stay negative when we could be finding a way through it, you know?

Oh yeah I don't think I'm negative. I'm a secret third thing. Tim Burton style (unless he's cancelled)

I think that’s creepy upbeat: disquieting but also weirdly happy?

Crupbeat

I call it "realistically optimistic". I'm not cheerful, but I have hope, which allows me to continue taking action. That hope is tempered by... Let's just say how people really are, though. 🤪

I think I do it thru humor if I'm honest. Like it would be so funny to just end fascism in their faces lol.

They do really hate anyone expressing true joy in the face of oppression. Might as well celebrate wins where we can get them! And humor makes it easier to get through the hard parts. Laughing so you don't cry.
