Spirit of liberation,
you who call us to see
every person as fully human,
walk with me through this digital patriarchy
and all its clever disguises.
Open my eyes to the ways
bias is coded into systems:
who gets heard,
who gets harassed,
who gets erased.
Help me notice whose stories
are boosted by the algorithm,
and whose are buried.
Protect me and those I love
from online violence—
stalking, doxxing, threats,
and the slow grinding down
of constant, casual sexism.
Teach me to believe women,
and all survivors,
when they speak of digital harm.
Let me use my voice,
my shares, my follows,
to stand beside them
instead of watching in silence.
Guard my own heart
from internalized contempt—
from measuring my worth
by youth, beauty, or “engagement,”
instead of wisdom, courage, and care.
And may my stewardship of this wired world
be a long, steady act of organizing:
connecting people across borders,
challenging structures that profit from harm,
and practicing a freedom
that is collective, not solitary.
