Are you sick of the news?

[warch]

I'm engaged, I'd say. Sometimes what I see makes me sick and want to give up. I take a break. Still, I am curious. I seek out info, look for international sources and try to watch that news of the world doesnt overwhelm me and negatively effect my emotional state in my immediate "real" life. The Cellar has been great for me to hear a diverse range of takes. Its helped me clarify what I believe. Cynicism comes, but I try to stay tuned to what I can do-- Have an intelligent conversation about an issue I care about (or at least do my best!). Vote at all levels. Support charities that do work I'm proud of. Stay openminded and look for hope, through individuals. Pace yourself but keep your feet moving.
