Okay. I'm once again reinstating my self-imposed (but long since abandoned) moratorium on reading, and, more importantly, ranting about political shit. At least, I'm going to try it for a while, anyway. Maybe a week, maybe two, maybe a month, hopefully longer.
The way I see it, I already know for a stone cold fact that I'm going to be voting for any and all Democrats come November. No amount of anti-Trump/anti-Trumpanzee news is going to somehow make me vote even harder against them. That's not a thing that is even possible at this point. As such, there's just no point in bothering with it. And no rant by me is going to change anyone's mind about Trump (especially since, given how curated my FB feed and f-list is, it's mostly just being seen by those who already agree with me, for the most part [or at least, I assume and hope that's the case... if not... I'm not sure I even want to know]). Lastly, nothing I say or share or "retweet" or whatever is going to magically remove Trump (and McConnell and Graham and Kavanaugh and... etc.) from office.
Mainly, this means no more Seth Abramson threads for a while. But also, no more other shit, either. Just today, I (re-)added NPR and BBC to my FB feed, but now I'm going to turn right around and take them back off again. That was probably the tipping point for this decision, in fact.
It probably won't make me happier, per se, to do this, but I think it'll at least maybe help a little with the all the headaches (both literal and figurative).
The only thing I won't be eschewing is Some More News by Cody Johnston. ¬_¬
