Reminder to self
Just a little reminder to self that posting angry statements on social media about the terrible things that terrible people are doing often generates a lot of other angry statements but not much in the way of politically effective action.
I've always tried to prioritize posting actual factual action items (call your reps! donate to this org! go to this event! help this community group!), but sometimes I just... get mad! And post about stuff that made me mad! And people post mad stuff in response! Sometimes getting mad at each other in the replies! And sometimes that's a lot of energy spent on... not much but being mad?
Anyway. Lots to be mad about. Good for me to keep thinking about how to channel that into effective action instead of reactive ranting.
One good thing I did this morning while angry: updated my gregpak.link old school directory page with a bunch more helpful links for this terrible year. Please feel free to check it out!
