too cold and miserable for a mental health walk so we're watching this instead today, lads
#it's no more a waste of three hours than scrolling any social media at all right now is.#today's mission is to not scroll so much that I lose my optimism. that might be the mission for a long time going forward#but we do what we can for the next few years.#and all I can do right now is keep myself feeling okay enough that when the opportunity to do something comes up-#-then I'll have the fortitude to be able to.#but as of right now it's just a matter of 'keep your eyes on the end of the tunnel'.#what we WON'T be doing is reading 'you're just as bad as they are if you don't watch every bad thing happen in front of you' takes.#I'll be a lot more helpful if I'm alive and hopeful and semi-in the loop and helping when I can#than if I'm fully in the loop constantly and ready to take a long walk off of a short pier because of it.#energy is best spent reasonably rationed to important causes than spent calling hotlines.#if you need a break and to mute words like trump or elon or whatever then do it and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.#intentional ignorance and self-preservation are not the same thing and misery without action is not activism.#don't conflate them and be sure to take care of yourselves and your neighbors right now.#uspol
