Leave room for people with memory problems in your activism. First off, stop expecting everyone to know off the top of their head which famous people (or activists, or tumblr users) are problematic and why. Some of us literally cannot remember this information.
And when you’re arguing with someone about something social justice related and they can’t come up with any specific examples, keep in mind that they might have memory problems and this doesn’t necessarily mean you’re right.
Remember that people with memory problems exist and we can’t participate in activism the same way that others can.
And just to add little: Memory problems are fucking weird. If someone can remember the scientific name of every crop plant in the allium family, that doesn’t mean they don’t have a memory problem or just a bad memory.
People are allowed to remember some things easily and some things terrificly badly.
