I do a lot of shouting here about politics because it’s my venting place and how I get the anger out. But I also volunteer for my local democrats and my water board and my library board. I go to events. I go to marches and sign petitions. I write letters and make phone calls. I donate my time and when possible my money.
If you’re feeling hopeless and helpless yelling on the internet will not make you feel better and it won’t change anything in the world. You have to get off line. Get involved. Do something local. We’re in this mess partially because people are choosing hashtags over actions.
We don’t have the capacity to care about everything all the time and we sure as hell can’t do anything about everything. Pick your battles. Get involved. Do one thing. It makes a difference.
