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…
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…

But I love fruit 😭 nooooooo
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!!!
Real person, only because I want to know who it is if I’m right

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…
