You see that happening all the time. You know, people losing jobs, losing their representation, not getting jobs because of their speaking out. You see people disappeared for this, you see people silenced in so many ways, fired, it's it's horrendous, what's happening, and it's so beyond just Hollywood. At the same time, I would say that that sort of silencing is very effective when it threatens your job, when it threatens your livelihood. Of course, it makes so much sense. And yet, I have continued to work, and I think that's a lot to do with my privilege as a white woman. I think that I've worked for many years and I haven't had the consequences that other people have had, and I'm very aware of that. And also I know that I just have a platform, and if I'm not going to speak about the things that A) mean something to me and B) are, like, real and happening, I don't know what else I would like. It just feels stupid to not talk about, you know.
