I am seriously considering going cold turkey from news.
I'm feeling more and more paralyzed by the hopelessness of seeing everything crumbling. What little good news there is pales in comparison to the unceasing onslaught of tragedy.
My operating theory until now has been, "I need to know what's going on so I can resist," but what's the point if there isn't a single thing I can do to stop the descent?
The #collapse is in progress, and I'm pretty #hopeless.
*sigh*
