This slogan "pushing back the dark" appears on a hubski sticker that was created collaboratively by insomniasexx, kleinbl00, and veen and others.

The original quote came from an essay by kb and got thrown into the slogan collection here.

But what is the dark?

I've been thinking about this question for a while.

There's individual darkness. I think we see a little of it on this website - when our fears and conflict are discussed. The voices are different every week, but the questions are the same: Will I be loved? Will I be accepted if I reveal my true self? Who am I? Will I get a job? Should I finish school?

Then there's a greater darkness: war, racism, and injustice that we observe in the world around us, touching others and touching us.

There's so many things that push it back: music, laughter, poetry.

Tell me in a line or two: What is the dark? How do you push it back? Has your dark been pushed back a little?
