I’ve got a lot more to share, but I want to keep today’s message simple. Forward this to a friend who needs to hear it. Take a breather. Give yourself permission to not have it all figured out right now, to be confused and overwhelmed.

Allow for integration of urgent activist work without abandoning your core mission. Maybe that means something as simple as cooking a meal for a friend who’s on the ground, while your primary role is behind the scenes.

Find your superpower and hone it. Activism involves many different roles, and trying to do everything is not efficient or effective. The stuff that’s easy and magical for you is needed in the movement.

Meaningful connection is essential. Talk to a friend. Laugh together. Make a plan about a small way to help each other, your community, or someone who’s struggling.

You need two big reminders as often as possible. One: You cannot fix everything. Two: everything cannot be fixed right now. (But also, that does not mean it’s time to give up!)

You are allowed to rest, even when shit is really, really bad. Like, every day. Even every hour you can find a few moments to disconnect and reset.

In fact, all the underlying factors that fuel the rage cycle can be redirected to fuel sustainable communal change. It just takes a few adjustments (some of which you’ve probably implemented in other areas of your life!):

You can get off social media and still succumb to this. It’s all coming from a good place: your compassionate heart, your desire to make real change, your capacity for connection. You are not the problem here.

But please don’t judge yourself. I’ve been through that cycle a thousand times. It’s quite literally what our environment sets us up for: social media, constant news exposure, lots of eager energy trying to find a focus, human rage on a large scale.

You tell yourself to go to another protest or join another activism group. But you can’t get yourself to do anything. You doomscroll. You crash. Then the rage cycle begins again.

You make eloquent social media posts. You aren’t sleeping enough. You feel guilty that you’re not doing more. You’re not sure what to do, but you feel the burden of what should be done, and the gnawing sense that whatever you’re doing isn’t enough. You have circles under your eyes. You feel numb.

The rage cycle is exhausting. You are furiously energized by the news, you take in more news than your brain can handle in a day, your furious energy grows, and you immediately want to do something. Maybe you show up to a protest. You shout and wave signs.

I’ve been working on an essay about ableism and the importance of rest, and as it keeps growing, I’ve put off sending a newsletter to y’all. But I want to be writing and saying more, and responding to the moment. And you need support, care, and inspiration when everything seems hopeless.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss
