Doing Nothing Isn’t Doing Nothing

When Hidden Figures
was first released
in movie theaters,
I didn’t have time
to see it
but I bought tickets
for it
anyway.

Why?

Because if I did nothing,
if I didn’t buy tickets,
it would be sending a message
to movie studies
that I’m not interested
in movies like Hidden Figures.

“When the local business disappears,
it’s because we didn’t shop there.
When the local arts program
fades away,
it’s because we watched Netflix instead.
And when the local school
persists in churning out
barely competent cogs
for the industrial system,
it’s because we didn’t speak up.”

Doing nothing isn’t doing nothing.
It is a vote AGAINST
whatever you’re not participating in.

Make that vote
consciously.
