  • I don’t doom scroll.

    I read a copy of my local, still-Independent newspaper free every morning with digital access to my library.

    I vote in every local, State and Federal election.

    I vote Progressive in the Primaries and Democrat in the General.

    I say ‘Yes’ to any/all referendums that Tax the wealthy.

    That’s about all I can do without financially impacting my family or my career. If it was feasible I’d maybe even start attending my Town Hall meetings just to get a barometer reading on my local Council Members.

    Crazy thing is I’m 36yo, and sanity checks have required me to act like a 60yo from the 90s… minus the ‘got mine’ Boomer attitude.





  • I quit reddit when they started charging for API. I started engaging with my local library. I’m 35 years old and started reading my local newspaper for the first time ever in my life.

    I came back to Reddit only to discover lemmy and now I read both my local news and lemmy.

    It’s been nice. Calmer, less stressful. It feels good again and I realize now that I’ve been very unhappy with reddit for many years now.
