to remember:

Most effective social change comes not from paying passing awareness to all social issues, but from working with deep, sustained focus on a specific social issue.

You don't have to ignore everything that isn't your area. But you don't have to fight every fight with equal energy. limit guilt.

"Only when large numbers of people demand everything immediately do we ever get anything eventually." Cleve Jones

"I'm not saying we'll live to see some sort of paradise. But just fighting for change makes you stronger. Not hoping for anything will kill you for sure." Leslie Feinburg

People need to eat.

You are people.

#Me Fein #It's hard!!!!#When in one job ur attempting to facilitate teenagers to stop being sexist.#And in another job you're materially supporting refugees #And you're in a union trying to oragnise to address an issue that is a MAJOR neon*zi organising point locally #And the CEO of a local climate action NGO keeps inviting you for free lunches but she's not like. Hiring you.#And one of your coworkers is trying to found a Democratic school (!!!!!!)#Which you like. Would be qualified to work at. 👀👀#But also. A fucking steady paycheck wouldn't go amiss.#How to be human #I want to fix everything!! I can't fix everything!!!!#I want to chill out!! Can't do that either!
