Starfire was not shamed for being emotional. Her powers come from her emotions.

Raven was not shamed for suppressing her emotions. Her power requires amazing control.

Marching isn’t the only way to be an activist…and if all you can do is retweet and reblog and share various posts…you’re the worker who flagging the construction zone with all those STOP and SLOW and CAUTION: ROAD WORK AHEAD signs, drawing people’s attention to what’s going on, and helping them to navigate on where to go and what to do.

And if you’re the person sharing links to organizations and looking up & posting about sites with helpful information or resources, you’re the office clerk filling out and filing all those reports and paperwork forms.
