If you're doom-scrolling, knock that off.
Okay, do you all remember the advice we gave about doom-scrolling during Covid? It applies now, too. This is a slow apocalypse, pace yourself. There is no advantage to knowing the bad news or the good news hours before anybody else.
So if you need to install software on your phone or PC to throttle your access to news, do so. Maybe set up separate accounts for your Tumblr or BlueSky political and national news follows, and only check them once a day, too. Instead, find something that has nothing to do with the news to do with at least some of your time.
I'd say "go outside and touch grass" but it's January, so, I don't know, have a wank and a nap or something. Steam clean your floors. Hit the gym. Snuggle your pet(s). Anything that grounds you in your body.
