I'm doing my best to make the world a better place in the ways I have some impact, but all the latest problems of the world coming at me all the time (through my phone) was causing some mental health problems (depression/anxiety) , so i started to spend a LOT more time offline.

It's been nice

--and inspired this linocut that I just printed

Hope you all are hanging in there and doing well!

Love it 💚 I had to stop scrolling Bluesky’s Discover feed for my anxiety. I keep informed but in healthier ways now, and spend more —and more fulfilling time IRL. Social media in moderation, for sure ✌🏼

@LauraLeonard Thank you! I love the filters offered in the fediverse. It's been a big help in not getting overloaded...i'm not sure if bluesky has that or not?

I tend to get swept away in the online space. The break has been nice--reconnecting with people and activities IRL, yes, moderation is key :)
