Goose is here as a break from Doomscrolling.

Stare into these loving, yet brainless, orange boy eyes and have a moment of calm.

STOP DOOMSCROLLING ABOUT RFK JR AND MUSK--READ THIS INSTEAD

Oh, so RFK Jr's brilliant plan as HHS Secretary is to "cure" ADHD with labor camps and ban all psychiatric meds? LMAO these are literally the rantings of a lunatic. And that's who they've installed at every level of government.

But here's the thing: You HAVE to see this as lunacy. You CANNOT take this seriously. The second you start thinking one man could actually do this, you're thinking about Kings. DON'T.

If fucking MITCH MCCONNELL - MITCH MCCONNELL of all people - can speak out against what Trump and Musk are doing, what's YOUR representative's excuse? This is the same Mitch McConnell I've been wishing on every goddamn star would pass the fuck away, and HE can say something?

So NO MORE posts about what Musk is doing unless you're posting it with YOUR representative's silence right next to it. Look them up. Call them out. Put a lil picture of them in all of your Elon callout posts. People should know what they look like. Everyone else in America who doesn't do their fucking job gets FIRED. Why are we letting these people collect paychecks for doing NOTHING?

Look at the French - they get it. The second their government tries any of this shit, garbage collectors stop collecting, workers walk out. No discussion. Because they remember something we forgot: THEY NEED US more than we need them.

And don't give me that "but we can't protest, we live paycheck to paycheck" bullshit. You're living paycheck to paycheck BECAUSE you won't protest. BECAUSE you won't unite. BECAUSE you're too scared to imagine what would happen if we ALL just stopped for ONE DAY.

Your representatives work for YOU. Start acting like it.

And if you're not ready to confront other aspects of solidarity yet? Fine. Just remember we're ALL united in oppression under being members of the working class. Start there.

Put away your phone, stop scrolling, and go to sleep.

Your worrying isn't going to affect anything but your mental health. There's no use in panicking.

Breathe. Have a sip of water. Please take care of yourself. You matter, and you are going to be okay.

i was doomscrolling through a dumb internet argument from 2022 in the comments section of a tumblr post but then i remembered that i have free will and decided to close out my tab and make myself a cup of hot chocolate instead

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

What are you doing 🤨🤨🤨 (via figi_sisters)

[xxunothodox-mortal087xx]

It’s crazy to me the internet can literally be anything you want and yet people fall into the trap of doom scrolling.

How I got out of it:

Seeking out cute animals

Seeking out inspirational ideas and quotes

Interacting only with stuff that makes me smile

After a few weeks of that,the algorithms do all the work for you!!!

Hope this helps somebody!!

Stop.

You may need to know this.

The amount of people that need to hear this breaks my heart.

If you do not have a drive, it's time you find one.

Get up and stop Doom scrolling. Do something with your life.

If you genuinely don't enjoy scrolling, get out there and live life the way it was intended. The amount of people I see scrolling all day is saddening, to say the least.

It's time to do what you enjoy, and make time for yourself. If you can't take care of yourself, how do you expect to take care of others?

Push the to do list aside, and focus on your own needs.

Eat, rest, enjoy life.

And most importantly,

If you're upset with how your life is going,

That's not a life.

That's just survival.

Daily check in with Joy.

Joy: Hey, you. Stop doomscrolling and looking at all the bad stuff on your feed. Stop it, you deserve better.

I know this is the piss on the poor website, but sometimes I think y’all need to look up childhood development milestones and reacquaint yourselves with what’s considered normal.

Elementary school students are struggling to read and write?

Kindergartners can’t pay attention?

Second graders don’t understand how computers work?

Yeah, go figure. They’re little kids. They’re just beginning to learn how to do things. Give them time.

You are allowed to blorbopost. You are allowed to have a blog that doesn't veer very far into politics. You are allowed to get your information from actual news sources, and not from social media. (In fact, please do.) You are allowed to use Tumblr for blorboposting more than activism. You are allowed to take breaks and look after your mental health. (In fact, you should; the cause(s) you're fighting for need the best of you, not the rest of you, and more than that, you need the best of you, which means you gotta take care of yourself.) You are allowed to take a step back from social media. You are allowed to turn off the push notifications. You are allowed to take a step back from the news cycle. You are allowed to restrict or turn off comments. You are allowed to not read the comments. You are allowed to ignore the naysayers and critics. (You would never be able to "do enough" for them, anyway.) You are allowed to not feel guilty. You are allowed to do your most important work off social media. (And honestly? That's where the lion's share of the important work gets done anyway.) You are allowed to block tags. You are allowed to block users and blogs. (Yes, even me.) You are allowed to have hobbies, interests, and yes, joy. Even during the toughest times. You are allowed to walk away from conversations that aren't going anywhere good. You are allowed to stop doomscrolling, and to recognize that there is a difference between staying informed and doomscrolling.
