    That's the argument many social justice-minded people are increasingly making. I agree we need systemic change but also individual tools.

        @avantgame I think a lot of us fighting for change are those who need those tools... They don't placate us, they help us fight stronger! :)

        @avantgame i think about this all the time. I don't watch/read the news because it's so unbalanced. change is not brought about by calm ppl

        @avantgame is it selfish of me I protect my own brain from the mass-negativity because I'm turning away from the suffering of others?

        @avantgame otherwise, we wouldn’t have science and arts which inform and enable others closer to the issues of today. We all matter

        @avantgame I think is true, for people that are prone to be more influenced than influential, which would make them unsustainable activists

        .@avantgame the notion that we must be physical and mental martyrs in order to fight systemic injustice seems a tad ridiculous.

        @avantgame I think it takes a certain level of calm and clarity to be an activist--being frazzled doesn't make me productive
