I envy those of you who can improve your current-events-related mental health by getting off social media for a while.

I mean. I know I shouldn’t envy this

because I know, in many cases, such freedom only comes from not having a job

(or school) (or any active life that forces you to go outside and meet people from the general population)

(whose main exposure to news has been from the TV)

(and who are loudly and constantly talking about the opinions they’ve formed based on this)

(nothing i could see on tumblr is worse than what I’m gonna have to listen to at work all night)

*gritting my teeth*
