[2]Meat-Ax Your News Consumption
|
||
|
||
Grant me the serenity to ignore the things I cannot change.

Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024
|
||
|
||
As someone who lives in a democracy (for now), I believe it is both good and
|
||
important to be an informed citizen. However, in Donald Trump’s first term as
|
||
America’s commander in chief, I was unnecessarily tuned in to each and every
|
||
horrid aspect of his presidency. I don’t intend to repeat that mistake when we
|
||
take this wretched ride for a second time.
|
||
|
||
During my [3]recent respite, I made a conscious effort to scale back just how
|
||
much awfulness I let into my life. I deleted a few redundant RSS feeds from my
|
||
reader and reduced the quantity of news I read, as well as the frequency with
|
||
which I read it. Just as I had previously [4]meat-axed my notifications, I’ve
|
||
now meat-axed my news consumption.
|
||
|
||
I’m fortunate that my own day-to-day life does not actually need to be so
|
||
negatively impacted by Trump’s every offense. Perhaps yours needn’t be either.
|
||
It is no doubt a fine line, but it should be possible to stay aware of what’s
|
||
happening without being consumed by the relentless malfeasance over which we
|
||
have no control.
|
||
|
||
I urge you to consider how you can do that for yourself. Your mental health is
|
||
worth it.
