    Second pic is me when I freaked out about the Gaza genocide

    My family kinda thought I was overreacting/focusing on the wrong thing, because they were more focused on October 7th itself

    Later they realized it’s a genocide which I’m glad about, though I never did hear that I was right all along

    Probably best if I just keep my mouth shut

      Nah, you did the right thing. You’ll know it all the way to your grave.
      Speaking up for marginalised people is a duty of those of us with less dire problems.

      Each person’s contribution may feel futile, meaningless, and insignificant but “no rain drop believes itself responsible for the flood” applies to positive things too.

        It scans really poorly lmao.

        I’m assuming they “later they realized it’s a genocide, which I’m glad about (the realization not the genocide)”
