Doing nothing means refusal-in-place, not any kind of exit.

Evidence

I’ve already written that the “doing nothing” I propose is more than a weekend retreat. But that doesn’t mean I propose a permanent retreat either. Understanding the impossibility of a once-and-for-all exit—for most of us, anyway—sets the stage for a different kind of retreat, or refusal-in-place, that I will elaborate on in the next chapter. — Jenny Odell, How to Do Nothing, 226
