a message to the tumblr algorithm
stop putting the posts talking about major world issues on my damn feed because they do nothing but further convince me this world is a shithole and i should save myself the pain and put a knife through my heart
like i know we're 2 years from tipping point and trump is undermining our democracy and people like me are murdered every day and im going to be next
and i'm not saying people shouldn't post about this stuff. it's very important to be talking about this stuff so that those who can do stuff about it can do stuff about it. but man
i cant do shit about this stuff
i scroll social media as a way of escaping reality
stop. recommending. me. these. posts.
and before you say "stop burying your head in the sand" and "this mentality is why these problems get worse" don't. i already know enough about how fucked our society is. and whenever there is something i can do about it, i do it. i attend the protest. i sign the petition. but usually there's nothing i can do about it, because i am a minor with zero political influence and zero money. i have enough anxiety attacks already. let me have my escapes from reality.
