I'm taking some time off.
As many of you know, I've been dealing with constant and neverending harassment and bullying from people who claim to be conservative, claim to be Christian, and claim to be anti-woke. They not only have relentlessly attacked me with the specific intent of socially ostracizing me and damaging my career and work, but they also attack my friends and supporters. They have tried to destroy my marriage, doxed my house, doxed my friends, have tried to get me canceled on multiple platforms, have harssed my supporters, spread lies about me to prominent influencers, have spread lies about my sex life, and have tried to destroy my real life friendships by contacting people in New Hampshire directly. Ignoring them does nothing. Blocking them does nothing. This has been going on for over a year and a half and it will go on every day as long as I am a public person.
Last night, I hit my breaking point.
I'm one person. And I always thought that if I just kept my head down and focused on the work, then people would see and value what I was doing. I'm very proud of the book that I wrote and of the help I've been able to offer people to understand the woke and how to fight back against them. But the fact is that my work has been made impossible by this horde of people, and I don't have any ability to defend myself from it.
So, I am taking some time off to think and to regroup. I don't know how long this will be.
I will be keeping commitments I have made privately, but publicly I need to take a step back and figure some things out. Here's what that looks like.
-I will not be engaging on social media any longer.
-I need to cancel Locals community zooms for at least the next week. I do hope to bring them back, I just can't do it right now because I need time to think. I'm sorry.
-I will be following through with the Actively Unwoke book club. If you are signed up for that, we will still have our meetings.
-I will not be following my regular streaming schedule for the time being. There are streams I want to do, and I will do them as the urge strikes. I will announce ahead of time when I do them.
-I need to put the Unwoke Army on pause while I re-evaluating how I'm spending my time.
-I do not anticipate continuing any additional pro bono work at this time. I'm sorry to those who want my help behind the scenes, but if you don't defend people you value when they're publicly attacked relentlessly, this is what happens.
What I will be focusing on:
-There are writing projects I've wanted to get off the ground for a while.
-There are projects in regard to the Actively Unwoke platform that I will be building out.
-I will be more active in running for Governor in New Hampshire. There's more on that coming soon.
-I will still be posting episodes of the Actively Unwoke podcast.
Essentially, I need to free up my time to clear my head, focus on things I can work on by myself off of social media (where the primary bullying is occurring) and to re-evaluating what I want to do with my platform.
They wanted me to quit, and for the time being, they win. I know this is disappointing to people. I wish it didn't have to be this way. But I've been screaming for help for months and no help has come. I'm one person. I can't do it anymore.
I hope those who have stood by me and supported my work for the last two years will continue to stand by me as I figure out how to exist in this space in a way that doesn't lead to me having a complete nervous breakdown. But I need space in order to do that and I appreciate your understanding.
