Hey. If you're doomscrolling right now, this is your reminder to put the phone down for a bit

yes, it's important to know what's happening in the world. stay informed. bear witness

but you can't pour from an empty cup and your nervous system isn't designed to process a global crisis in real time for hours on end

read the news. then close the tab. drink some water. step outside. pet your cat. watch something stupid. come back later.
