In case it’s helpful to anyone else, I’ve begun tagging some posts with #beyond doomscrolling so I can find them later. The tag includes things like calls to action, resources, and words of hope and wisdom so the information is easily accessed if I ever find myself needing it. The tag started with 2024 US election stuff but if I keep up with it I’ll probably end up tagging global issues as well.
Stay safe, protect each other, and don’t give up - make them pry your hope from your cold dead hands.
PS—if I ever share misinformation etc (in this tag or elsewhere) please let me know because I definitely didn’t mean to and will edit or delete
#beyond doomscrolling#US Politics#us elections#fun fact I looked up the phrase cold dead hands and it’s not an old saying like I thought#it actually originates with 2A advocates in the 1970s#and it usually refers to weapons#but isn’t hope the most powerful weapon of all?#to (unintentionally) reference Nelson Mandela#you ever say something and go ‘I must have heard that somewhere because it is way too good to have originated in my brain’?#I’ve gone off the rails a bit but stay safe we’ve got this
