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.

*unable to ask if you want to get food with me* do you have any plans for what happens if you get hungry?

There's an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can't miss it, that says "Beware!!! Spikes!!!"

The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it's their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they're walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn't be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.

We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still... for a while there it looked like it might have worked...

My local LGBTQ+ Community Center is putting out a call for kind words/art for our community members (most of which are youth). We’re in the rural south and everyone is really feeling the feels right now, so anything helps. <3

This is out of my curiosity and my nerd brain. I'm curious about how Tumblr voted or didn't vote in the 2024 presidential election. Please reblog for a larger sample size. This poll is anonymous, and the only way you would reveal your stance or who you voted for would be to reblog with your opinions or comment under the post. I would like to make it very clear that I will remove comments that attack each other, so please be mindful of that as well. Please keep it somewhat civil! This is also my own form of an exit poll because it has more options for answers and is even more anonymous. I will not be using this for any other purpose other than curiosity. Also, if you send hate my way, I will not hesitate to block you and even report you if it's truly vulgar.

Additionally, in the worst case scenario, if the comments get too hateful and vulgar I will turn off comments to protect my mental health and the mental health of others. I don't want to instigate any doom scrolling through the comments. I know what that can do to myself mentally and I can only imagine what it can do to others. Please try to be civil as possible.

The results of this election has made me finally decide to go ahead and go to college. I’m still not sure what I’ll be majoring in exactly but it’s probably going to be along the lines of Political Science, maybe even History or Finance. Our country isn’t perfect, and it’s on track to become worse, but I want to be ready to help make it better.

FedEx: shits on my box, stomps on my box, kicks it, dumps gasoline on it, throws one of my chickens into the back of the van UPS: whispers at my front door “is anyone home” as quietly as possible before leaving a “we missed you!” note, tries to gaslight me into thinking my address doesn’t exist USPS: sets my package down gently where it’s not visible from the road, knocks on the door and kisses me directly on the mouth
