i've gotta learn how to rest in a way that is actually restful and not just numbing

so what do you do when you've heard all the helpful lines and sayings and quotes but now its time to actually apply them (cause knowing the answers doesn't mean things just get better) and you're so burnt out that you just can't do anything but become more and more acutely aware of how much work there is to do?

update when you get a 100%

going from the reddit star wars fandom to the tumblr star wars fandom is giving me insane whiplash. the upside is that people aren’t bitching about every single imperfect detail in the entire franchise, but the downside is that i’ve seen more fanart of obi wan and commander cody tenderly knowing each other than i have ever wanted to in my life in the last three hours and it has probably fundamentally altered the way i interact with the entire franchise

DO NOT GIVE UP

"it's fucked, its hopeless, we're all going to die, what the hell do I do now". sums up what i've heard all day. so here's what you're going to do, here's what I want you to do.

organise. collaborate. hold on. It is easy, I know, to resign yourself to hopelessness. I am not a naturally optimistic person. I choose ruthless radical persistence because survival is rebellion.

do not catastrophise, do not engage in doomerism, and DO NOT GIVE UP. Take the time to grieve, and then pick your friends up, and keep going. We will PROTECT people at risk, we will DISRUPT the plans of those who would harm us, and we will BUILD connections with other people to help pave our way to better times.

It isn't over. It hasn't even begun. Generations haven't loved and laughed and fought and survived just for you to give up. it is unfair. it makes me so deeply angry that a man like that can be elected. but there are people all over, working with me, organising among themselves, or who have had plans in place for years. there is always a solution to a problem. ask for help when you need, offer help when you can. you are not alone.

community will get us through. sing dance shout scream laugh in the face of everything. cry if you need but never fucking give up. at your most scared, act strong.

keep loving. keep fighting.

"came back wrong" trope but it's just the second derivative of a sin function

guys what the fuck is going on 😭

had a buddy who couldn't whistle at all until one day he was meditating under a tree, started listening to the birds, and then he just kinda knew how to do it and has been able to since.

If you can't whistle, your life will be beset upon all sides by countless droves of people who are 100% convinced they both can and must teach you to whistle. Each and every one will believe themself to be the first person to have thought this.

in the spirit of revolutionary optimism, which is something i'm trying to be better at, let it not be lost on us that more than 45 million people have now been shown to feel comfortable publicly taking a stand in favor of palestine.

i've seen more people sharing resources and information on my socials today than i ever have before, and that does count for something.

now's the time to nurture that seed in people and guide them towards taking part in direct effective action, even just posting donation links.

we cannot gatekeep support for palestine.

idk how many people have seen this going around on instagram and i have a lot of thoughts that i don't feel like posting on personal socials cause ive been nonstop yapping there anyways.

it's great to see this many shares of support, don't get me wrong. but there's something so hollow and cynical about a sanitized, ai generated, literal mile high view of some neat rows of refugee tents when there is real footage of people burning alive. there are probably more "tents" in that picture than there are people left in rafah.

there is real art, real pictures, real video, real stories coming out of palestine, and yet this is what people decide to share. this puts no eyes on rafah. this does nothing except placate people into feeling like they've done enough, and to not search for any real direct action. it's just fuckin frustrating man

if we keep sacrificing billionaires to the titanic maybe the ghosts of the working class folks who died will rise up from the depths and help us overthrow capitalism
