    Yeah, I had a good four year stretch where I just had to filter out everything political. I figured it’s better to be ignorant than to be constantly stressed and angry.

      Hey, if it was good for you, then good for you. I’ve done the same for shorter stretches of time, about two years one time. It helped my mental health a lot, and then I came back having the energy to actually get involved and do something.
      In case anyone needs to hear it, it’s okay and normal to take a break. Or seek support, or whatever you need to do. No lemming is an island, or something like that.

      I like reading some political posts, especially it they’re about something that’s actually good lol Now I mostly just scroll past them all unless something really catches my eye
