It's the first decision I make when I wake up before I pick up my phone and doom scroll.

I’m gonna need a third option.

Every single day. This week I've been overwhelmed with anger. Again.

It’s been a roll of the dice 🎲 every morning since ED…

Oh yes, THIS! I can only look at 2 or 3 headlines and I’m out.

After half a bottle of breakfast wine, I find I can do both!

I might give wilfully ignorant a try tomorrow

Every day

I’ve been going with the latter. I much prefer it to knowledge. What good has knowing things done for me? NOTHIN

That’s it, exactly!

i have felt in this permeant state since some tuesday ago?
i've purged all but 4 news/political podcasts and my tv now has natgeo instead of news.
all i really, really want is to not hear that voice for the next 4 years, i can see notis, and dismiss. but no voice.
