   @seachanger I'm also a white woman and I don't want to tell people "never take breaks." Maybe a useful piece of advice for white women might be to show up and conserve your energy by NOT putting your fingerprints on everything. On topics that aren't about us, we don't have to always weigh in on the tactics and messaging and we don't have to make sure our perspectives are included in the final plan. That could be a less tiring and more sustainable plan for everyone involved.

     white women really are so not tough. we have been coddled for so long that we really think the world needs to stop when we feel politically overwhelmed. we want to retreat into our privilege and do self care. we want to do a march and then go home. we need to learn how to be of service and in political community even when we think we can't go on

     trying to figure out how to explain to some of my friends/networks that our emotional exhaustion as white women is not actually the main problem we're facing now or in the days ahead
