Elizabeth @elizabeth-oliver.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Something I've done to protect what little peace I have left these days: I don't open social media or news apps mindlessly now. I brace myself for bad news a couple of times a day when I log on, but I am not being confronted with it 24/7. 320

Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later. 1402332085653

I am not saying to not look at or be informed about The Horrors. What I am saying—what I am genuinely kind of begging you to do—is keep posting about books and movies and sunsets and pets and joy. Please. 46870051261
