We may block out politics, and try to avoid the news, but it will still affect us. How much you want to know about possible impacts is up to you. I avoid all talking heads; even humor doesn't feel right. I choose articles in the Guardian, which for the moment, seems a safe place for news. I also look for Substack newsletters from trusted independents.

I have been 100% avoiding all plotical news since Nov 6, the day my dad passed. (Last parent). I cant even start to process the political stuff while going through this. I decided to abstain from the news.
Following it closely for the past 24 years hasnt made me feel any better. Ignorance truly is bliss in this instance. I will pull my head out of the sand later.
