One of the purposes of the linkspam roundups is to remind people, "someone else *does* care; it *will be* addressed; you are not alone in your awareness of asshattery and you can take some damn *rest* if you need to -- the internet's got you covered." (Of course, the asshattish jerks have support too. Sigh.) And that means, unless some particular post catches your eye and demands a response, unless you feel just compelled to write something... you can let it go. There's always more to read, more to learn, more perspectives to absorb, more cool people to discover... but you don't need to do them all today. Someone who has more energy will address some of the important stuff; you don't have to carry it all alone.
Go enjoy the fluff. The internet was made for fluff and activism (and porn), and you've done your activism bit for the moment.
