To be clear, saying you're going to "avoid politics" is an INCREDIBLY political statement, especially in an age of fascism.

Whenever a man is caught preying on a child, the narrative shifts to trying to prove the child lied about their age rather than the more obvious reality that the child was trying to protect their abuser. It’s happening right now with the D4vd case, even though the child was likely murdered

RIP Kaleb Horton

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

Karolina spent years idolizing raw vegan influencers on Instagram. She went to Bali to meet them — and never came home.

My deep dive on fruitarianism — a group of wellness influencers who exclusively eat raw fruit — is up on @nymag.com @thecut.com today. www.thecut.com/article/karo...

Thousands of X users have posted about Ali Nasrati, a 30 yr old IT tech for Walmart, claiming he made insensitive comments abt Charlie Kirk.

But Nasrati has never posted about Kirk.

Now, he's been suspended from work and forced into hiding. I wrote about people being falsely targeted by the right

Conservatives Are Doxxing Innocent People Over Charlie Kirk

Right wing influencers are blasting people's names and personal details out to millions before ever verifying their claims.
