If you like me get overwhelmed by the news and the combatting of malinformation, don’t forget to take a break when you need it. Burning out will help nobody.
The propaganda machine can spam information with no effort, but we have to work hard to spread the truth through organizing and community building. Our work is important and we have to keep doing it today, tomorrow and all the days after that. You can’t change peoples views with one conversation, it takes seeds and the building of community they can turn to whenever they are ready to change their view.
We have to constantly deal with the contradiction of the urgency of change, and the fact that we have to be patient in order to effectively change peoples minds. Getting overwhelmed by this contradiction is normal and it’s valid to take a break once in a while to come back strong again.
Exxercise all the fucking time, an hour or two a day. Then no matter what else is going on you feel good in one way at least.
i’ve had varying levels of fitness and activity throughout my life, from organized sports to solo endurance, and i have never had any fucking idea what people are talking about when they say this
It really depends on the person. Not everyone feels better after exercise. Some people are disabled such that they can’t exercise without getting sick. I’ve felt bad for a long time because I hated exercising but now I’m at peace with it and listen to my body to keep it healthy
I actually feel annoyed, thinking about the other things I could have spent that time on.
