Save the obituary for if it plays out that way though. Letting your mind run wild with pre-emptive defeatism depletes your energy without giving you any productive results. I'm sorry if I sound patronizing but I see so much of this lately and I think we need to address it more because so many people are paralyzed in fear and hopelessness at a time where maintaining one's agency is crucial.

Thank you for the explanation. I don't think you're wrong, but I do think you underestimate the protective power of name recognition. It's stupid it works this way, but simply by being there she offers some additional protection to all the other brave individuals participating and thus reduces the chances that they all become names on that list.

I wish others in her position could realize that fact and be brave enough to put themselves in harms way to reduce the risk us mere mortals face.
