Hold 'em both. Keep going.

@BowieSpace

thank you

this is such an important message

folks you need to take care of your #mentalHealth

if the debilitating outrageous #news is getting to you you need to step away from the #doomscrolling. it does you no good to stew in it. you're a human being. you're not made for it. it will grind you down

just stop with #socialMedia for awhile

or as many others do turn to humorous posts. we got #jokes on the #fediverse! and cats!

attune to that which you need

be whole and be well

@benroyce @BowieSpace I've watched my country turn into a cesspool over the past 13 months. The motherf'er in chief has about destroyed the country. We were in need of significant revamping before, but now it's about broken.

I try to stay positive, but I see little to brighten my days.

@RegGuy @BowieSpace

be receptive to the photography, the news about science, the arts, the inveterate jokesters, the profundity perplexers, the absurdists, the shitposters, the ramblers... we got it all here

tune it out Joe, just tune out the bile and endless endless outrage. it does you no good

self-care is important

you can draw your attention back to the evils of the world... later. it's not going anywhere

small manageable bites

@benroyce @BowieSpace Oh, I have. I don't post or read much at all here these days. I've narrowed my view on social media to just a large handful of people and rarely look.

This war is going to be painful. This is my birthday month I turn 70. I was fortunate to be just to young for Vietnam. Now that war was the biggest mistake we made. I just hope this one doesn't come around to bite us.

@RegGuy @BowieSpace
