I’m excited to see it expanded. Hopefully public use and esteem will increase as well. Last time I was home I rode from SeaTac to Northgate-- or I would have, if there wasn’t a service disruption in the tunnel near Pioneer Square station which prompted two selfish impatient passengers to pull the emergency stop/exit release. The whole time they were complaining about how awful, slow, and unusable public transit is, before making public transit unusable for all the rest of us… I just hope their attitude/outlook is the minority so our infrastructure can improve.
Journey, for something simple but touching for others who feel a bit isolated and adrift.
I feel incredibly restless at my job and it’s everything I can do to not stand up and just leave for good. I’m paid essentially minimum wage in a dead end job at a ブラック企業… But I’m so burnt out on job searching for months on end and terrified to return to unemployed life. I haven’t touched my hobbies for months and I’m… I’m just so tired. God damn…
Daffodils are my absolute favorite flower! Thank you for sharing! 🌻🥰🌼
It’s something I struggle with a lot, too. I stay away from feeds and aggregates for the most part because they tend to have the most attention grabbing (ragebaut, despairbait, what have you) and just browse a handful of news sites when I want to get an idea of what’s happening at home and around the world.
To keep from doomscrolling/binge reading despair, I limit my browsing to just an hour or two in the morning (or on lunch break, downtime at work) ever couple of days or so, unless there’s a specific event that I want to follow (like Eurovision, Ukraine war update, my local election results, wildfire update etc).
I use Ground.news to see sources’ factuality/credibility and biases, and scope out topics and sources of interest.
Grist.org focuses on environmental news and are pretty consistent about having some kind of meaningful, forward -facing conclusion in their articles. Usually in the form of ways everyday folks like you or me can contribute/participate, steps toward long term solutions, that kind of thing. Personally find these additions to be helpful in lessening the aftertaste of despair I’m usually left with whenevet I read the news…
I guess my advice is 1. moderation and 2. quality sources. Easier said than done, I know, but… Good luck 🐝
Thank you OP, I’m saving this thread for future reference…

Last night there was a sudden downpour and you could see a bunch of crushed cicada on the sidewalk. I rescued one lil guy and a nymph and put them back in the bushes. Their grippy lil feet and cute faces… 🥰😭💗
This is absolutely invaluable for me, thanks so much for sharing! The formalizer and judge are really gonna save this lil goblin from unnecessary stress!!!

Safe for another four years. But given CCP’s continue and relentless efforts, this election was still a close call. Apparently 362 out of the 378 political parties have known financial connections with China. Can’t even talk call it “dark money” at this point…
