social media activism + your part in it; a short thread. (please open :) !!)
we cannot change the world through solely social media activism and i don’t want anyone to feel like they constantly have the weight of the world on their shoulders. we are trying to do what we can and trying is enough.
a lot of you might not be able to protest or support beyond spreading awareness as well and please do not feel like you’re doing nothing. spreading awareness is doing something and you are helping in the way you can
as much as i hate to say it, we can’t help everyone every time. we can try our best but sometimes it won’t work, not because it’s not enough, but because not everything is in our hands. that doesn’t mean we can’t try though :)
to those of you who are personally affected by events, don’t feel obligated to post and spread awareness right that instant. your mental health matters and forcing yourself could be stressful. we’ll help bring attention to the issues at hand. taking a break is okay
i’ll end this thread by saying that i’m proud of all of you for fighting for what you believe in. i know it’s difficult when everything seems to be against you but thank you for continuing to put in effort to try to make this world better for everyone ilysm /g
