If you need to unfollow me, feel free to do so, but I truly *cannot* handle all the "why does nobldy care about this?!?!" guilt trip tweets.
There are 10,000 earth-shattering bad things happening a day. I do my best to balance awareness & support for different causes, but listen

Every single day I encounter multiple guilt trips for not raising awareness for causes I haven't heard of. Even then, my TL is painfully triggering bc people are *always* talking about one bad thing or another.
Meanwhile, not everyone uses Twitter for activism. Seriously.

While it can be a tool to raise awareness, many of us do our activism and support for marginalized people *elsewhere* and this is where we come for community, a break, or just to market our books.
The idea that everyone can put 100% behind every cause or they're bigots is wild!

And frankly, it's impossible! Even if I wasn't disabled, even if I wasn't dealing with personal problems or needing to work, I still wouldn't have the hours in a day!

I know it's hard. I know it feels like you're drowning and you're only chance to stay afloat is to make people listen who aren't hearing you.

in mind that we're all drowning. I'm not ignoring you and I don't want you to die because I didn't see your cause in a sea of 10,000 others.
I don't think your life is valueless because I needed to conserve some energy for me for once instead of fighting for that cause.

I really am sorry I can't do more, but we're *people*, not machines. We're dealing with 500x what people were built to deal with. What you're asking for jjst isn't possible.
