I couldn’t agree more with these thoughts. It’s exactly how I’ve been feeling for a long time! I know shoveling this crap in is bad. I know most of the rage bait out there masking as news is intended specifically to anger and divide us. But it’s scary to think about how many people I’d be out of touch with if I deleted it entirely. I think I take a page out of your book and remove it from the Home Screen. Check it once a week and see how friends are doing and ignore the rest. Get a chance to stay up to date on big life events of people in my life but little else. And then maybe eventually I can ask myself if staying up to date on big events of people I no longer see or talk to is even that important/healthy/great. That’s a future Nadia question I feel. Loved this and love hearing your voice mmkay byeeeeee ✌️
