You don’t need to keep up with all the awful.

You can and should step away.

We need you. And you need rest. Our brains aren’t meant for this.

Earlier this year, I said that I didn't need to hear what "they" are saying because I already know what they have to say. When it comes time for action, just point me in the right direction. I'm in the choir and I've been sufficiently "preached".

I'm ready to go full Rambo.

Thanks, I need to be reminded of this. 🦙🌻

And by "you" I also mean "me" because if I read one more horrible thing today I might actually scream.

So important. Do what you can while you can but remember to stay stable. Take time away if you need and join the movement again when you're ready to bear the brunt of it. Until then, I will gladly hold your place 'til you return

Thanks, I do need to step away. My anxiety and Pure OCD are taxing on my spirit.

I will keep up boycotts as much as I can and buy local in the meantime.

They want us to stop paying attention. Who will protest if everyone steps away? I have survived worse.

Not saying to turn it off. Just not drink from the firehose 24/7.

you're correct. I've dipped in here too often today. so gruesome.

It's important to stay informed, but always remeber to take breaks. It's also important to remember to laugh.

Collectively, things are suck and it aint changing anytime soon. Nor is taking a 3 day break from it going to leave you less informed. Doom binging is just going to mentally destroy you.

i scrollhope. i keep up with all the chill people doing nice, chill things. all the other stuff is just a buncha crap. imo

i look for people who say, as Anais Nin put well, "what the rest of us are unable to say." Or maybe "articulate at the time." The caliber of writing and general goodwill on this site are both really something

A great reminder

I will accept deliveries of this Awful for those in need that wish to send it.

Preferably through the noosphere, actual social contact might be a little much. Possibly awful.

Hhmmm what if you are conducting a “nudge” campaign and epistemic warfare? Not that I’m saying you are but that’s how cyber warfare people do influence campaigns. Foucault spings to mind. Information warfare. America/Canada/Mexico stay on toes. Don’t take my word triangulate sources.
