Yeah. I feel there's a kind of eternal serenity to be found in truly apolitical works. For everyone to put their connection to Today aside and share in something timeless---that really feels like genuine connection to others.

I feel it's dehumanising to expect people to provide free work and hide their lived struggles. There are trans people contributing top notch code to the community - I don't want them to feel like they have to hide their existence and the ongoing persecution of their kind and produce apolitical code just because it makes some people uncomfortable to see somebody else suffer.

This is a political position.

Yes, the purest form of privilege is the option to not engage with politics.
