Being nice to the people around you will change a lot. Over time. Look at all the people talking about their shitty day and then one friend was nice to them and it made things okay again. You can be that one friend for a few people on a few occasions, and that’ll recharge them. Seriously, not everyone has to be front-line. You can be a medic. We need medics, too. You can be that person we know isn’t making things worse, and that’s sometimes an amazing thing.
Needed to hear this today, thank you.
Activist speaking: Being nice to people makes activism way easier and in a lot of ways is a form of activism.
Also, in general, I’d really REALLY like to get the myth that literally everyone needs to be an activist destroyed. In reality, it doesn’t take a lot to tip scales, as long as the general population is friendly to the problem. Slactivism is okay sometimes! Not being an activist at all is okay sometimes!
