    Now, of course, self-care is something pushed by those who want us to suck it up and live with shitty policies.

    And that’s the point the article makes, tbh.

    It’s not that self-care is “bad”. It’s that the whole concept of self-care is mindfulness tangental, and practicing mindfulness means grasping the wider situation. Being told constantly to “deal with it” and self-caring through it is accepting abuse. There are ways to practice self-care and refuse to stand for this shit.
