#my grandparents are here#and i had to put on my headphones before dinner#bc they were in the kitchen w my mom and dad ranting and raving#and they all get their ~news~ from conservative talk radio and fox commentators#and i literally just could not fucking take it and have no more energy to deal with it im just so fucking sick of all the current events#then we started dinner and they were still going and i actually spoke up and was like 'can we talk about literally ANYTHING else'#and guess what we all had a nice fucking normal conversation?????#it's.......really not mentally healthy to consume news & get worked up about it to the extent that we do#like of COURSE we should be aware of current events and it's important to talk it out and process it all and take actions if necessary#but it's literally so anxiety-inducing for that to be ALL that you see/hear/read/talk about??!??#neil postman talks a lot about that in one of his books....our human psyche just isn't made for that to consume us 24/7#tbh this is the number fucking one thing i hated about the culture at my uni#was that e v e r y conversation had to be either political Discourse or philosophically Deep™️#like god forbid we be normal fucking human beings with mundane interests and everyday experiences to talk about#//#personal
