It’s Not All Doom and Gloom
Yet the media showing us nothing but doom and gloom sells.
It’s impossible to avoid.
If you read or watch any news source whatsoever — it sure as hell looks like everything is coming apart.
Between climate change causing unheard of weather conditions; distressing and authoritarian laws taking away women’s rights; racism, sexism, classism, and a mad mad mad world — the doom and gloom is everywhere.
To be honest — we can’t just close our eyes, pretend it doesn’t exist, and hope it will go away. But at the same time — we need to be cognizant of what we CAN do — and work to stay in that lane alone.
For example — these Draconian measures passed in Texas. For the most part, all I can do is vote for my local congresspeople and President, attend protests to keep people aware, and boycott products and services from Texas. I can write letters and donate to causes associated with fighting this insanity.
But that’s about it. The same applies to all things climate-related, employment-related, and globally.
It feels massively overwhelming. And some people love to use this dark narrative to further their causes and beliefs.
