On twitter I’m seeing dozens of threads from Black activists warning people against burnout, giving all sorts of useful tips about preventing and managing it for the sake of a long-term, sustainable effort.
On tumblr I’m seeing a hell of a lot of young white kids yelling at anyone who actually follows those steps, and acting like burnout is a moral falling rather than a well-proven psychological phenomenon.
Be careful who you get your information from. Don’t let guilt lead you to make choices that will harm both you and the movement.
Hello! Here is a thing I made! Also, I just started a merch store at Brosillis.redbubble.com
Sometimes I have a hard time loving myself and just need to be reminded. I’m sure I can’t be the only one.
If you’ve felt (or feel, no judgement) the same way, I’ve got just the thing for ya! Shirts, stickers, hoodies, hell, you can buy a shower curtain if you need a daily reminder. Please feel free to check it out. More to come :)
