Yep I’m feeling this too. I decided to consume less news a few months ago as it was having a big impact on my mental health. It was a good decision. Life is hard enough without constantly being exposed to horrific things that you have no control over.

This article is an important one. It highlights how deep and persistent the network is that targeted and persecuted Prof Jason Arday. It’s hard to find words to describe what I’m feeling about this. One thing I feel is incredibly sad that we as a society allowed this to happen.

I’ve been deliberately avoiding the news and thought it was time to catch up on what’s happening in the world. I’m now regretting that decision. Anyone got good news to share?

This photo makes me feel deep sadness and heartache. It says a lot about what our future could look like here in Aus if we’re not careful. I’m doing my best to stay hopeful, but it’s increasingly difficult.
