The human brain was not designed for the 24 hr news cycle. If you're already organized in a movement try to focus energy there. People give back more than they get usually.

If you're not currently in a Rapid Response or Mutual Aid network feel free to reach out I'm happy to talk about resources.

Also, if you're not already, make time for loved ones and friends. Do activities with them and share the burden.

I’m happy to check whatever resources you throw my way.

Today I just entirely stepped back from all the social media and news. Didnt look at any of it and just concentrated on my own projects. I can feel a bit of my brain coming back to me already

I think tomorrow I’ll throw a museum channel on and just have that in the background. I’ll happily take another day of detoxing

How to organize a rapid response from a very high level with further detailed resources. https://southerncoalition.org/resources/rapid-response-101/

Good general advice on organizing, also a good resource to find groups near you that are likely aligned. https://www.fiftyfifty.one/organizer-resources
