Idk if I can do this social media shit for another four years and survive. I'm being very serious, not hyperbolic. I'm weighing my options, but I can't mute everything. (Believe me, I do try.)

It’s tough, because it’s simultaneously our connection to much of the world and a relentless tormentor. I totally understand your concern and it’s 100 percent valid.
Absolutely. I will give you my email if I go. Maybe being here once a week would work? I don't know, but today & yesterday were worse than I expected. I need to have a plan b for social interaction.
Yeah, it's been really rough, honestly. I've been letting myself close bsky whenever I feel myself hit my 'limit' of what I want to tolerate and coming back a few hours later if I feel like it. Not sure if that will be enough, but we'll see.
The 'mutuals' feed has also been a relief, honestly.
I don't want to give up on it yet, but my experience here has shifted in recent days and it's a lot.
I don't begrudge anyone for needing community and to talk about stuff. I just, idk. It's too much while I'm trying to figure anxiety stuff out, and I know I won't stick around if it's draining.
Yeah, I absolutely feel that. I've muted a few people, hidden some posts that kept showing up, but sometimes it's hard to build those protective walls and the world is just too much.
I know it's privilege to be able to step away from all that's going on, but it's also so necessary sometimes.
You do what you have to do to stay sane and safe. I hope to at least still see you blogging but if you can’t I understand. I’d miss you terribly but don’t want you to suffer here if it’s not helping or worse, is hurting. Love you 💗
I have a lot to work on without the constant derailing bombardment of this administration. I'm not saying I'm completely avoidant. Just metering my consumption. Putting the oxygen mask on myself first and all that jazz.
Just can't seem to control this timeline. Literally and figuratively.
I’m refusing to let them live rent free in my brain. This time I won’t fall into the trap of reacting to every crazy thing the convicted felon says or does. He’s all smoke and mirrors. His job is to distract us as his buddies run amok. I hope the media t stands up to them this time.
Fingers crossed they do. Hearing about his pettiness and fully dehumanizing rhetoric is exhausting, but he doesn't care *why* his name is everywhere just *that* it's everywhere. They're feeding that unrepentant asshole's ego when it has plenty to eat.
Do what you need to do to protect your health and your peace. I like to keep up to date but I also don’t want to spend all my days in complete despair.
