Is it possible to turn off the social media reminders that if I wondered what I’d have done during [some other appalling moment in history], that I should not wonder anymore because I’m doing it now, also that my silence is complicity, and that I will be remembered if I sit on the sidelines, and – now that I’m trying to do all the things I would have done during [that other appalling moment in history], not being silent, and getting off the sidelines – that I should be sure to rest.

I know these things. I knew them before the reminders and – thanks! – I really remember them now. But my timeline remains full of these reminders and ALL THAT DOES IS MAKE ME ANXIOUS. It does not increase my effectiveness in resisting the current appalling moment in history.

So, let’s move on to more effective performative reminders. Thanks!
