The inconsistency is another way to say that is trusting yourself in the moment.

So it isn't like,

not consistent.

You're consistently being like, what is my thing today to do?

And I unbound by what I thought it might be yesterday when I woke up.

Then the other thing that feels very in light of this strategy of overwhelm that feels very comforting and grounding to me, because I think a lot of us feel like we are just kites in

in a hurricane and we're trying so hard to like do what is needed.

And I think I am prone to rage and to a lot of like bursts of anger in these moments.

And there's a place for that for sure.

And the grounding principle is keep your head down and keep organizing.

You don't need an individual response to each one of these things if you have an ethos of organizing that you just, when you feel rage...

ground yourself in organizing.

When you feel overwhelmed, ground yourself in organizing.

It isn't, I can't attend to this thing over here because look, I have to go put out all these fires.

If you are showing up in any local organization and getting yourself plugged in, you are doing something about New Gaza.

You are doing something about ICE.

You are like, what they want to do is for us to unplug and start swirling in the wind.

So I think it's both those two things.

It's grounding yourself in a local organization that may appear to have nothing to do with the fires that are going on and actually have everything to do with it, whether or not they are particularly intersecting or not, and not being religious about what you thought you were supposed to be doing.

like you're saying.
