Please listen to me very carefully right now: Learn to take and celebrate small short wins, to build momentum and morale, or you and everyone you need to fight beside you will be burned out, demoralized, and demotivated before the next big opportunity comes along.

If you want to succumb to despair, have at it, but i am trying with literally all of my might to fight against encroaching depression and am asking you to please get the fuck out of my mentions and stay away from me if all you're going to try to do is give *it* help.

Reading this skeet on its own before knowing the context was a nice self-confidence/seretonin boost, but then opening the full thread and seeing it's specifically about DeSantis's BS getting blocked made it even better.

Yes! Thank you for this reminder. Sometimes I think people get into a feedback loop of not wanting to be complacent or naive, and so celebrating a small win or a partial victory feels like you’re a sucker. But you’re not. Wins make the larger fight feel worth it!

This exactly. The idea that everything is permanently, irretrievably screwed up is strongly linked with the belief that we have no control, that there's a secret cabal ruling us. Neither is true, and both serve primarily to excuse apathy. Wins make us hungry for more wins.

Parting words with a good friend tonight, we were calling across the hood of my car and the sidewalk with, "Small wins! Achievable goals!" because that's where we're at now

Sometimes stacking up lots of small wins is how you get the big win. You look back one day, and there you are.
