βShutting off the news temporarily is self-care, but shutting it off permanently is an act of violence.
If things are too painful, too turbulent, too unsettling for you right now, and you just want to ignore it all, realize that you are fortunate to have such a luxury at all.
Privilege will always try to tempt you into inactionβ¦.
For the sake of those who don't have a choice, refuse to let it.β
