Reading the recollections of idealistic and professional nursing staff going to Calcutta and confronting her shitty attitudes and being horrified and disappointed is a wild ride

This. I just started an onsite job after 5 years of basically being fully remote and just buying a few staples (trousers, a skirt, jacket, blouses and a pair of “nice” shoes) set me back a full week of pay

Pt1 🧵: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "There's a live-streamed Genocide in front of our eyes in Gaza. No one will be able to say they didn't know this was happening. The Global Samud Flotilla only existed because our leaders failed. Our international systems are betraying Palestinians."

I think people feel helpless because they feel that activism is all-or-nothing. They think they need to be on the front lines in a gas mask building blockades, or their effort isn't valid.

I spent a couple years of the AIDS crisis making flyers and taking sandwiches to patients! It all matters.
