Interesting how you use hyper-focus here and later hypervigilance around the issue of distal and proximate race-based or community-damaging threats. Your language in these places reminds me of race-based trauma or racial battle fatigue that is discussed in the health research.

Also, when I first got on Twitter and utilized it for my activism work, I felt like I entered what I called hyper-time. Everything was happening NOW and it was real-time. It feels like you’re describing something I’ve also felt.

Just know you’re not alone… Thank you for sharing!
