Remember, when something in the news upsets you, you are *not obligated* to spend the next hour hunched over your phone reading live updates and social media hot takes.

You *can* stay informed without succumbing to this urge -- an urge deliberately conditioned into us for decades by the 24-hour news cycle and exploitative for-profit social media.

Step away from your screens, let your psyche absorb the blow, and read about it in a newspaper tomorrow morning if you like. You have permission!

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://social.coop/users/jsit/statuses/115831672056808737 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
