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
