'Night everyone. Still sorting tech stuff out a little.

How do we wake up every morning to these atrocities? How do we sleep? It's so hard, but we will find ways to deal and fight this stuff.

I'm glad at least Maddow did her A-Block on shaming members of Congress. That was the only place on TV where I've seen someone actually say, "This can help, try this."

And before you comment without fully understanding what I just said, watch the segment.

@GottaLaff I've largely switched off from the relentless drip of every new detail, in favour of practical/political action in as many areas as I can.

It's much harder for you, because your practical action IS to focus on every detail, to get accurate news out there, and it's a very important role.

One thing I find helpful for calm and sleep is hand-sewing. My main project currently is making handkerchiefs to use instead of tissues (not for actual illness but those little random sneezes or watery eyes.) Most crafts are very soothing and good in those ways.

Wish you all the best in maintaining your well-being in these difficult times.

@MelissaBenyon I second the handcrafting and giving them to others 🧶🪡
@GottaLaff
@kellyromanych @GottaLaff Yes, giving them to others does that little bit to build connection and community, which I think is going to get more and more important in the coming years.
