#adding onto that last reblog i think something that often gets missed in conversations about activism is that they do take work
#it is energy and emotional labor to format and frame things in a way that isn't angry and attacking people
#it's effort that sometimes people who are personally impacted by whatever issue simply do not have the bandwidth to do
#and it shouldn't be expected it shouldn't be oligatory
#if you're trying to educate people you need to do so in a way that's not shaming them
#and sometimes that's hard bc you feel so strongly and it's infuriating that people don't know about this thing that's so important to you
#but projecting your anger about that onto them is not going to be effective
#bc like that post said people will not respond well to that kind of message
#and if your point is to educate and to create change in that way you need to approach it in a way that will lead to that
#so often i think people cling to shaming others because they're right about an issue and while you may be right
#you are doing nothing to get people to want to listen to you so how have you done anything at all
#not everyone needs to educate and if you don't want to you shouldn't feel obligated to
#bc someone who meets people where they're at is more effective than someone who shames and attacks people and makes them feel bad
#this stuff is work it involves so much work and i think it's important to acknowledge that bc it is not for everyone
#there are people who are willing and there are people who aren't and i think both need to be okay for us to make progress
