In another post someone said to watch the news maybe once a week. That’s all you really need to actually stay informed- after that it’s doom scrolling.
Make sure to audit your sources from time to time- how are they fact checking? What systems do they have in place? Are they publishing to inform or to enrage? Are they talking to you with a crystal ball? What questions are they asking, who is asking them, and who benefits from the answer?
When interacting with strangers on the Internet, be like Mr. Rogers. If they aren’t being like Mr. Rogers, then be like Mr. Rogers. This isn’t for them, this is for you.
I’m struggling in this too, so many are. These tips may or may not work, but I guess fortunately we’ve all been through this before so we have some idea of what’s to come.
I just don’t want to become the person I was from 2016-2020, I did not like that version of me.
