I know better than to doom scroll on #Mastodon.
I'll disable the app on my #GrapheneOS phone and see how long I can go without using it. Sure, I could still doom scroll on my #Laptop or #Desktop running #Debian, but that's not the point.
Instead, I'm challenging myself to redirect my energy towards reading about Debian, Anarcho-syndicalism, and things that interest me.
Today was enough, and I'm taking control.
Let's see how this experiment goes.

Well, I can't #Doomscroll anymore for various reasons, but I can still #Stitch! So that's why I've been significantly more quiet on here lately. I've been working on re-stitching the projects in "Basic Cross Quilting" so I can *hopefully* do instructional videos for each project. (1)
My latest post is all about:
#Sabotage
If you know you need to do *something* to #resist, but you don't know where to start, this post is for you.
Actions that are:
Simple. Legal. Undetectable. Effective.

For those who feel lost and struggling with what to do and lost in the #doomscroll and feel ill-equipped to deal with the #fascism we find ourselves surrounded by.
I wrote this post for you on how to take your first steps toward #action and #resistance.
Get off the #doomscroll and figure out what you are going to do for the next four years to combat this march towards autocracy. We all know it’s going to be bad. Sitting on social media or watching tv to see just exactly how bad is a waste of your precious time … and freedom. Actually #resist. Make yourself the most annoying caller of your senators and congressperson. Get on a first name basis with your state and local reps. Attend city council and school board meetings. Find out what organizations are supporting women, minorities, migrants, the environment, and join the one you feel you can help with. Find one or two newspapers you trust, and subscribe with paper copies.
And give yourself time to relax, and understand what you’re fighting for.
Oxford English Dictionary word of the year: “brain rot”
- “the supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as the result of overconsumption of material (now particularly online content) considered to be trivial or unchallenging." - Few people are aware of how literally technology is rotting our brains, and how decisively compulsive internet use is destroying our grey matter.
