I identified with that famed XKCD cartoon for too long. Drawing a new panel myself made it easier to manifest another way of being.
@axbom I’ve always treated it as a cautionary tale. This makes that nicely explicit.

@axbom It happens less, but I still fall into that trap sometimes. And it always burns so much energy..
but sometimes I try to tell myself "this is just a malicious bot anyway" 😂
@axbom i'm not in that image, and i probably should.
@axbom Well said. Also that "someone" who was wrong on the internet is now most likely a bot so disengaging is the only option left.
@axbom
Thank you. I did not know I needed that 😊
@axbom My mantra was "I do not need to insert myself here" but I'll use this instead now.
@axbom This is very nice. I like it.
@axbom Sounds very healthy.
@axbom oh my, this surprised me in such a wonderful way. Thank you for it. Well done.
@axbom This is lovely! I think I need to print it out and have it at hand in doom-scrolly moments.

@axbom at some point in life we realize that we cannot "fix" everything.

That some threads are not worth reading and replying.

That some people are toxic and we ignore them.

And that rest is sacred.
