Indivisible: Resistance is NOT a one lane highway.
Sharing a post from my Indivisible group. Don't stress about trying to fit in everywhere, all at once. Be where you feel you need to be; do what you feel you can do. We need everyone!
Oh! Right there with you! I spent a better part of my life being over-subscribed; to work, to a community, to "friends", to family. Sometime around 60, I learned to use the word "No!" A lot. And that "No!" came without guilt. PISSED off SO many people that I just wouldn't drop my shit to take care of theirs. I feel fucking fantastic for it! Don't give a shit if the people or groups won't socialize with me any more; speaks volumes about the quality of the relationship in the first place.
So, right there with you on activism. I'll do what I can if my energy allows. I know my warning signs. I will say, these folks with Indivisible are not pushy - they've been respectful of time and energy.

Everyone's contribution all adds up.
That is correct. Basically, my lane is writing. I try to offer that talent where I can.
