  • Take your time. But welcome to a new club. You’ve been an advocate of good your whole life, an advocate of not killing people. Maybe you knew about nestle baby formula and boycotted them. But now the truth is turning you into an activist. And this can take any form you want, from attending peaceful protests to luigi. Start with small, consistent actions, be mindful, and talk to others about how you can make a difference.

    Also, you dont have to protest quit right now, that’s a decision for later and when you have something else lined up. Someone will do what your job is, you quitting doesn’t make the company implode. Maybe you can take them down from the inside :)







  • My goodness! This is a lot for you to have to go through any day of the week, let alone also with depression. You’re doing great that you can talk about it, and I hope you have a community and/or friendship group to fill in the void she has created.

    Leaving (or even threatening to leave) you out of the will is super messed up, I hope you have siblings/family that would stand up for you, even if only after the fact.

    She may have her own mental issues or even past trauma that she’s projecting onto her relationship with you and your depression. I dont say that to excuse or justify her, just to acknowledge that you aren’t who she thinks you are, your depression isn’t what she thinks it is, and your journey is within your control (relatively speaking), not hers.

    Regarding the united states: we can’t really control it. However, we can control our own ‘back yards’. Find one thing, no matter how small, that you dont like and try to fix that in your life or your community. Something obtainable. (Eg, dont like single use plastics bc planet, dont want to pay for reusable bags bc oligarchs…then make reusable bags 🎉 - instructions Its ok to start small. 1000 people doing little things as a start is way better than a nobody doing anything because it ‘WoNt MaKe A dIfFeReNcE’
