also, sometimes: everybody is talking about this, but not on the specific tumblrs you follow

or: everyone is talking about this, but guilt trips get more notes.

I cannot tell you how many times I was going to reblog something only to be met with “and no one will talk about it because no one gives a shit.” I do, in fact, give a shit, but I am so tired of the bullshit that says I have to somehow know every problem in the world as well as be told that I don’t care that I just no longer reblog or retweet posts that use this logic. It’s ridiculous. Like I’m sorry, I know America can be a bubble and I do what I can to see what’s going on elsewhere- but I am also not perfect. I can’t keep up with literally every little thing, I mean even most of what happens here is hard to keep up with let alone the world, and this tactic of “im angry that no one cares about this issue they probably had no idea was happening so I’m going to guilt trip you” is fucking exhausting and doesn’t get anything done. There are always a lot of bad things happening on Earth, all over the world, and I’m tired of being called a piece of shit for not knowing about each and every one of them at all times. I do care, so much, but the guilt tripping tactic? I’m just done with it. And I don’t think I’m alone.
