for a day. Just a day. So many of you need a break from The Great Wide Online. Take a day off and do literally anything else.

( big edit) Translation for the haters and jokesters in the comments:

spend a day doing something completely new. Get the fuck out of the social media feedback loop that is literally rotting your mental health. You can even do something online and not be "online"!! Hit someone up on a discord server and ask them to play a round of a new vidya game. head to 123movies and watch that swedish arthouse movie from the 60s that a friend recommended. Educate yourself on something that isn't about some obscure Deep Twitter Lore drama.

Give your pets some extra love and attention. Make plans for a houseplant nook in the corner of your bedroom. Look up a weird foreign food and cook it next Wednesday.

It's like we forget how to enjoy things when we're constantly being barraged with doomer posting everywhere.

Yes, i know shit is SOOOOO fucked lmao... but we have to take care of our mental wellbeing if we're ever going to have solidarity and change the world into what we want.

take a break

    I also saw the post about this place on r/acidmarxism and I agree.

    I’ve more or less stopped frequenting this place as much just because it’s turning pretty toxic.

    Take the grill pill and log out. It won’t hurt

            For me it’s been logging off and just getting into more shit that I find interesting and that isn’t raising my blood pressure. Right now my big project I’m planning is taking an old 8 foot narrow book case. Adding LED Lights on every shelf, and turning the whole thing into a giant vertical succulent garden for my living room.

            You do a disconnect like that enough, it will just get you to get into another project.
