On being an activist (or not)

[katieastrophe]

"I gave up being an activist after only two years trying. Partly this is because I’m not the kind of person who can survive without downtime, and to be a good activist you have to be committed to the cause every waking hour, and a few sleeping ones too. But I'm also not very good at playing games."

I know that feeling.
