    Okay, need to news detox. I usually stay away, but I have just gone down the rabbit hole. A bit too much to bear. That said, extra squeeze your loved ones.

    Now, might be time to get a delicious brunch.

      Unfortunately I was waiting for my regular shows to be in but they overrided the broadcast to do it so I had no choice but to have all the news on :(

      Just waiting for all my footy stuff to start today to balance it all out.

      I don’t really keep up with the major affairs happening if they don’t directly affect me. I eventually do do a deep dive on them, but i don’t until things calm down and I can actually look into things without being yelled at about them. I didn’t look into Russia/Ukraine for 7 months after the war began, and I’ve got zero clue what’s happening in Israel/Palestine.

      It’s a little bit ignorant, and pisses most people on both sides off, but it’s what I have to do to keep from spiralling and obsessing over the news. If it hasn’t happened in Australia and doesn’t directly affect me or people I care about, I’m not going to bother with it until I can look into it without people twisting it to seem like the world’s ending
