I'll probably get put on blast for saying this, but y'all REALLY shouldn't be doomscrolling news 24/7. There's a reason why I have been spending less time on the Internet and focused elsewhere. (1/4)

It's one thing to stay informed, but people were NOT built to constantly be fed terrible, will destroying news 24/7. There's a reason why the news was on at specific times, and the newspaper was every morning.
Limits are needed, or you CAN'T act when you need to.
I made that post about doing other things during the first 90 days for a reason. Stuff is going to get REAL overwhelmingly fast for everyone to process at once. Too much can lead to brain damage due to excessive burnout. (2/4)
And to put this out, NOBODY will shame you if you absolutely need to unplug for some time. Things are happening too damn fast, and it's alright to just log off for a while or for a month. (3/4)
Yes, it's important to stay informed of things. But it's also important to LIMIT the amount for your mental health sake. Practice doing that more often, and it'll definitely help you in the long run. (4/4)
It's worse and annoying when those posts don't provide links or any resources to help the community. Instead of a simple "here's a list of organizations and resources to provide help and assistance", it's "you're fucked, time to suffer".
Gotta chime in again. My Art Friend plugged in since 2013 and she has been miserable, and I seen it affect them mentally, like they unable to unplug and just enjoy life, I feel bad for them, but after years of trying to get them to see it was hurting them, they snapped back at me. So I left.
Let's just think about the fact that there's sane people in this country that actually have our backs and will fight against all this just like last time.
I do wish more people realized that not everyone can join the fight, and most want to just live their lives. There's many others out there, and one person sitting out isn't going to cause a huge impact.
Because the majority of Maga are fat middle age Manchildren who have a life full of them being a lazy useless sack of shit, these guys can't even do their own dishes. What makes you think they will be out in the desert building shit, couldn't even build that wall
As scary as it is, look for those in your community to help. There's people out there who'll help you. You don't have to be alone and feel like all is lost.
That's why I think bluesky is the ideal alternative for anybody wanting to escape the madness that is politics.
All I've mainly seen on this platform is art so far :)
I have like 30 words revolving around politics banned but I'm still seeing them😩 And for me, once I see one post about it, I'm looking it up and going into a deeper rabbit hole
But I getcha, you can still have control over your feed. I oughta do more of that :0
