1353 || your overwhelm is the point

They are banking on us feeling so hopeless that we don’t fight back. This is why they constantly overload us with information about the constant threats and violence against humanity. It’s a tool meant to paralyze you to keep you from the work that needs to be done. You can’t focus on everything, but you can pick a lane and prepare to fight.

"This is a strategic exploitation of our cognitive limits." - Jennifer Walter

"Move quickly through the shock and condemnation, into identifying what needs to be done." - Pete Buttigieg

Identify an effective motivation. Mine is doing everything as an act of resistance. Knowing the wealth-hoarding class doesn't want me creating, focusing, strategizing, enjoying, taking care of myself, taking care of my community, means I will do exactly that, as an act of resistance.

Start to recognize where you don't have to spend extra money, time, energy + reclaim it for whatever you decide to spend it on for a change.

Good news, you're joining a fight that has been happening a long time

1847 || become the villain

One thing I appreciate about the villain archetype is the confidence it implies. Darth Vader isn’t gonna procrastinate because he is too tired or lacks the confidence to start. Bad guys don’t tend to ...
