Working on the assumption that everyone who reads this also is aware of political developments today, it should come as no surprise that I am a bit emotionally wrung out this evening. I've spent the last, what, 8-9 hours tapping my little thumbs out on Threads, posting more in one day than most of the last year combined. I've made my own posts, hashtagged, commented, liked, and clicked "post anyway" when it tried to stop me using swearwords.
I got pretty upset when I first saw the news, and I felt like I was in the upside down. I walked away from screens, took a shower, and reset myself. I think I'm fine now, but I bet I'll be on a hair trigger for a few days. You know I'm not a fan of misogyny or racism, and I'm dreading getting splashed when it flies around over the next few months.
Yesterday I promised myself I would really apply myself to going to bed earlier. To accomplish that, I think I need to begin my powering down process now. The hard part is going to be watching fewer videos before lights out.
