How are you all managing the emotional response to mainlining news on Bluesky? I should probably stop as soon as I feel overwhelmingly sad and helpless, but the desire to also be informed is huge.

I keep a timer on, honestly. I know my tendency is to get anxiety obsessed and I have to limit exposure. Plus I do feel like there's a point at which informed isn't even helpful if there isn't some idea of what to -do- with the information.

Thanks. Timer is a good idea. I have Bluesky turned off from 12pm to 7am but there’s an override and 2am thoughts are powerful buggers.

2am is quite the brain hour, right? It's like I can only have great ideas or a huge existential crisis.
