in the process of moving to a new state, i’ve subscribed to a local outlet (look up your city or county or region & news outlet, or smthn like that, y’all are internet savvy), and it’s been so refreshing and lovely. simply am on the email list rn but planning to subscribe soon.
i don’t think humans are meant to absorb Global or National News En Masse and it‘s made me go through phases of fire hosed infomation, then fasting. tuning into local stuff (which has some headlines from other outlets i can scan for national news) has been really grounding, interesting, & made me feel less Numb To The World. complacency will get us nowhere, and we can’t take big actions on our own either. seeing how we can live in the grey area of small tangible actions in my small tangible community. also into giving ppl money for providing services instead of selling myself for ads is such a relief in the current landscape
