Look, much like anything else— it’s a spectrum.
You CAN be an activist online. Meanwhile, you CAN *also* do tangible work offline in tandem.
It’s not one or the other.
It’s not black and white.
You don’t need to be “on” all the time.
Let’s not add to the pile and show some empathy.

If your activism is rallying people in your local community, marching, protesting, calling your reps, and so on— that’s great.
You have options.
We all have strengths and weaknesses. We all have ways we can contribute.
Don’t limit people to your own ideas or limitations.
Posting can and does help, it’s all a matter of how you shape your messaging and interact with others.
And, look, I won’t even criticize the doom posting. I don’t prefer it, but I understand it.
If you see someone doing that, support them. Try to help people and make them feel connected.
A lot of people are really scared.
Tons of people feel like the ground is crumbling beneath them.
Best we can do is give them ground and work together to find unity in these trying times.
We all need nice egg in these trying times.
Embrace the egg.
