Sometimes I need to ignore American politics, because I'm not even American and it makes me feel sick to think about how impacted the entire world will be by this election, and most of us don't even have a vote. Makes me feel pretty powerless
It sounds like you already have a decent handle on juggling self care alongside your activism, but I still feel compelled to remind you to be kind to yourself and take breaks if you need them. Perhaps it's because I know too many people who are working to save the world, who forget that they are a valuable and necessary part of that world that's worth saving too.
