Oh my god i finally have a word for it….
There’s such enormous power in naming and understanding things, isn’t there 🙏

The tweet author also made this into an article, available here.
Thank you for sharing that link!
Lots of peeps on this post have asked things like “so what do I do about this?” which the twitter thread gets into but I know many will find the article more readable and it expands further and has additional resources. Check it out!
the social norm of “its your ethical responsibility to be constantly aware of, and angry about, every bad thing happening in the world at all times, even if you can’t possibly do anything about it” is possibly the best way I can imagine to create burnout and cynicism and depression in a population, so good job guys
Also, nothing annoys bigots more than someone they hate being joyful.
