Court Cantrell does not comply@courtcan@mastodon.social
...If something happens that I can actually do something about, I'll hear about it through the people closest to me. But for my own mental and emotional health, I have to stop doomscrolling.
But Courtney, you ask, can't you avoid doomscrolling but still keep aware of daily headlines?
No, not really. I've tried that, and it doesn't work. Blame addictive tendencies, blame a sick form of escapism, blame whatever. It results in an all-or-nothing I can't seem to break out of.

I'm taking care of my yard. My gate is closed to the autocrats, oligarchs, fascists, and supporters thereof. My gate is open to anyone who needs refuge from any of those.
In the meantime, I'm tending my yard and adhering to the Spider Robinson Principle:
"Shared pain is lessened; shared joy, increased--thus do we refute entropy."
I'll still be here. But expect a lot more book stuff, writing stuff, reading stuff, and cats.
Love you, fedizens. 🫶
