#politics sucks and has always sucked and will suck forevermore and while it’s very important to acknowledge I don’t have to obsess over it

I need to get offline for a few hours and do something else lmao I’m getting to the point where I’m unable to look away from shit that’s upsetting me and ultimately arguing on tumblr dot com is not really going to help much. I’ll still pop in to boost campaigns and such but I will be trying to avoid arguing politics for the rest of today and tomorrow bc 1) I can just do shit irl that has way more impact than arguing with people who will never change their mind towards caring about anyone but themselves and 2) this sort of thing is the exact reason I started making myself take hiatuses lol I do not need to push myself to that point. healthy doses of engagement and discussion, not obsessive and borderline doomscrolling. Anyway!! Like I said I’ll still be posting about Palestine and whatever else whenever I come back online but I’m gonna try and cut myself off before the ‘political associated health spiral’ begins
