Weak Tea Quotes

“Smiler, this damn tea so weak it nearly a fortnight!”
― Mike Gayle, All the Lonely People

“As long as I focus on what I can accomplish today,
what I can create,
who I can care for and love,
how I can grow, how I can participate
in pushing back,
I'm good.
I look at the whole and want to run screaming into the hills.

But that's privilege.”
― Shellen Lubin

“Sympathy is not action,
and does not absolve us of the need
to do something.

Action is effective with this travesty,
pushing back creates friction
and exposure
if incapable of stopping the destruction
altogether.

He's weak tea.
Not just Putin can bully him.
Even Musk can bully him,
even Musk's young son.
We have to keep remembering that.
And the political minions following him
can even more easily be bullied--
that's how he got them on board in the first place.
They don't want to lose their place and their power.

Do something.
Make a call.
Write a letter.
Attend a protest or a town hall.
It may not stop everything,
but it may stop something.
And at least we'll have tried.”
― Shellen Lubin
