re that prev post for compassion fatigue:

Genuinely, your mental health matters. you are not helping anyone if you are actively subjecting yourself to mental self-harm. take steps to take care of yourself, block the tags on your own time if you must.

but do not, do not go into someone else's house and loudly proclaim that you want a break. walk away, log off, drown yourself in unrelated tags if you need the refresher.

but come right back when you are done. when you have it in you to help, relieve those who are tired and hold the fucking line.

#rem rants #i am 99.9% sure that these people are not the ones that op was talking about. so im making a whole other post. #it gets exhausting looking at the bodies. i know. its exhausting fact checking everything i KNOW #take the break. i beg you to take breaks. the people of Palestine need us on our fucking game. #you do not need to be at every event. on every post. in every protest. this is not a sprint. its a marathon. #do what you can- when you can. we cannot ask more than your best. and that differs every day. #but you are not helping by doomscrolling. by drowning yourself in piles of the dead. by skipping meals #by loudly proclaiming to yourself and others that youre exhausted. by signaling that youre done and over it. #if all you can do is the boycotts. is wearing a pin. is drawing art for protesters to glue onto signs. then thats enough. every drop in #the bucket is one drop closer. you alone cannot save Palestine and you alone will not destroy them. take the break. and come on back when #youre well rested and ready to raise hell.
