I think this piece should be required reading for anyone wanting to survive the “new world order” we are aimed to devolve into. Yes we hate and despise and want to eliminate injustice. But when the system is rigged against us, we need to learn survivable tactics. Spike’s advice - to herself - is pure gold. If anyone hasn’t read her book, I suggest you are missing a treat. Go buy it, read it and enjoy the wonderful spirit of this unique woman—who is like us in so many ways!
All of this resonates!! I do nothing by halves but, yes, it’s a pretty good recipe for burnout. Currently I’m keeping things relatively well balanced (for me). But with the whole world on edge it is extra overwhelming these days. I sincerely think that self-care, experiencing joy (when possible) and seeing beauty are all acts of resistance. I’m allowing myself all of this now and watching for opportunities to resist that I can handle. Wishing us both well!
