    Sometimes when we’re feeling discouraged, we’ll go and re-watch one of these docs to light that fire under us again

    Shit. That's a little bit fucked. When I was more active in the activist scene and was on twitter and facebook I was subscribed to a whole bunch of activists I knew. My timeline looked like something from a horror movie, 60% of it was blood, gore and suffering, like a window straight to the depths of hell...

      Oh yeah, activist culture needs to use way more trigger warnings. I think there's just (justifiable) fear that the people who need to see it will refuse to look. Nevertheless, CWs protect activists (and everyone else) from getting compassion fatigue and secondary trauma.

        Me? I just got a habit of defocusing my eyes every time I saw a hint of red on a facebook page.
