I genuinely wonder if this is going to start something

Will more people start killing CEOs?

Are there more people willing to potentially give up their freedom for the ‘greater good’?

How many people are in the position to actually access a weapon and be within proximity to a billionaire?

Will there actually be a revolution?

Are people too scared to actually start something?

Are the people who want to, too young, too weak, too ill, ect. to actually be able to do something?

Are you able to actively do something?

Are you able to go outside right now and kill a CEO?

Are the charities working? Are the protests working? Are the movements working?

Is it really getting better?

Maybe if you don’t like something, you should do something.

I dunno man, maybe 1700s France was onto something

doomscrolling is not activism

doomscrolling is not activism

doomscrolling is not activism

"don't look away" is a meaningless phrase. who are you benefiting by inundating yourself with misery porn?

DO something about things you care about. Go to a protest for something you believe in, if you can. Donate money to a cause if you have it to spare. Volunteer your time to help people if you have the energy. Write a letter to your political representatives if that's something you can do. These are meaningful ways to try to make change in the world.

And then? don't feel bad about insulating yourself from horrible news. Don't make yourself look at images that make you feel sick. Don't read endless things that depress you. Because frankly it gets harder to actually do the more you doomscroll. Reading constantly about things you can't change because they're happening at a systemic level or on the other side of the world is paralyzing. It makes you less able to help where you can.

I'm not saying be willfully ignorant. I'm not saying pretend horrible things aren't happening. I'm saying don't destroy your mental health going in-depth and cycling through horror after horror on your phone. I'm saying there is no virtue in making yourself experience other people's traumas because mere awareness is not activism. you inflicting suffering on yourself is not activism.

doomscrolling is literally sapping your energy and focus away from doing anything useful to help other people. you can burn yourself out without ever lifting a finger by exposing yourself to all the bad news in the world and who does that help? no one.

The top 1% of the world’s population owns 80% of the world’s wealth... Uneducated, demoralized and frightened. Taking orders and hoping for the best is NOT the answer. 🤔

the uber driver who took the quicker route has a passion for singing. the lady at the supermarket who always wears nice earrings and lets kids take a lollipop wants to be an actress. the old lady, crossing the street, never had the opportunity she so desperately wanted to become an astrophysicist, but she still loves the stars. people have such a complexity to them sometimes, but love is so, so simple.

TUMBLR DO SOMETHING

[positivelypresent]

Sometimes it can feel overwhelming when you want to help, but don’t think what you can do will be meaningful enough. But let this be a reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness add up.

I think the best thing The Great Mouse Detective did was decide that Holmes and Watson adopted Toby and that he just hangs out with them now and occasionally helps the mice infesting their joint out on quests.

Dear Democrats in Congress

We, your constituents, don't want you to "reach across the aisle." We don't want bipartisanship. We don't want you to make concessions to the GOP and we don't want your compromise.

We also don't want you to keep flooding us with emails that say "Look at this bad thing the GOP is doing! Give us money quick or they'll win!" and then sitting on your fucking hands when it comes time to get shit done. You had YEARS to enshrine queer rights, especially trans rights, into law. You had YEARS to add women's rights to the Constitution. You had YEARS to codify Roe vs Wade federally.

BUT YOU DIDN'T.

So what do we, your constituents, want now?

We want you to BE. FUCKING. OBSTRUCTIONISTS.

We want you to do to Trump what your GOP peers did to Obama. We want you to block every last fucking thing that Nazi-loving shitgibbon and his goose-stepping brown-nosers try to do. We want you to throw every last technicality at them. We want you to block every nominee. We want you to throw wrenches into the gears of their fascist machine. We want you to SHUT. THEM. FUCKING. DOWN.

BLOCK THEIR SHIT. IF THEY CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU.

And UNTIL you start blocking their shit, UNTIL you start GETTING RESULTS, you can miss me with your endless fundraising. You've left us to the pigs for too long to be asking US for handouts.

Prove you can stop evil in in tracks. THEN I might consider donating to y'all again. But until then, I'm broke, so just like you left the rest of us, you are goddamn on your own.
