I wonder if all the hand-wringing about "why isn't anyone doing anything about this?" is due to widespread internalization of "main character energy." People unwittingly think their "something" isn't enough because it isn't THE thing.

Except, there is no one thing. It's going to take all of our collective small things. So when you read how terrible things are in the news, commit to doing something, even if it's not the fell swoop to fix all things.
When you read a scary headline or view an alarming live, call or email your senator or representative. Or donate to a legal fund of one of the many organizations filing lawsuits. It may not be THE thing, but many hands make light work.
And if we can all do something, however small or ostensibly insignificant, then we might be able to learn we are not, in fact, powerless. A steady drip weats a hole in a rock.
