Might be time to watch "Inside" again. Anyone else?

Where are the Phantom Thieves when you need 'em?
They absolutely do, and I don't blame them for staying on! But feeling like you *have* to stay in order to keep up is another way of controlling your attention - see if you can join their mailing lists instead or find them on other platforms, we still want to support wherever else we can โค๏ธ
Pretty close - played a vampire RPG with Drusilla one time ๐งโโ๏ธ
I raise you "ignore with purpose". My brain likes to veer into hopelessness, so I'm steering clear of news to steer myself into the arts and supporting my community. I can't singlehandedly change the world but I can try to help my neighbor have a better day. Don't let the bastards grind you down.
You know what, I actually have. I'm no Internet celeb or business owner so I deleted IG, FB, and new TikTok. Went through my craft stuff today and remembered my old hobbies. Started a new painting. Working on a new language. Excited to be me again without constant comparison or "inspiration".
Photo of Netflix's "Familiar TV Favorites" recommendations where shows featuring the actors who play Jess & Logan on Gilmore Girls are separated by a show that isn't Supernatural, a show that features the actor who plays Dean on Gilmore Girls, and does in fact show up further down the list.
Missed opportunity here, @netflix.com. Big. HUGE. #gilmoregirls #teamjess
The overall sentiment is: healthcare, wages, school safety, childcare, food costs, food quality, housing, social rights, etc - politicians can't agree on ANY of these things, yet they read this bill and decided that a social collective joy should be cut as well. Under the guise of DATA SAFETY.
And for the ban of this connection tool to come at a time when we're already sensitive to our politics, the reaction to the removal of this tool is heightened. It's not about TikTok. It's just the last straw breaking us when we need our communities the most, and shows us where our govt stands.
It's not about TikTok. Not completely. Obviously there are small businesses and communities who depend on TT - separate issue. This ban is about our social connection being such a governmental threat that its demolition gets hidden in a humanitarian aid bill and approved by our leaders.
Same on Android!! Em dashes are for cool kids and rebels ๐ค
