Many such cases

Yeah, spurring myself to give money is one of the only ways I've found that at least makes me feel like I'm helping to fight even though I know it's not much

If you don't get a full blown panic attack just from seeing a scary headline I'm very jealous because I don't even get as far as clicking in to reading them. Just seeing them sends me spiraling and usually disrupts my sleep for at least a week. It sucks!!!

Scary climate news is on my feed again- in case it helps anyone else, every time I see horrible climate news, I make a donation to an environmental charity.

My mom subs in a rural conservative farming town so this kid is not a ~sophisticated urbanite~ for what it's worth.

My mom has been substitute teaching and in one class the teacher had already provided her a PowerPoint. When it showed an AI image, a kid said "Aww man, not the AI!" So yeah, even some kids are over this bullshit already.

Yeah, I do to!
I actually think one of the hardest ones is trying to slow down. I keep finding that I thought because I spend so much time resting that I WAS slow, but it's more about not rushing so you can rest even if it's easy, not walking fast, not speeding through little habits.

I think my burnout was probably less severe but I constantly come back to 4 factors I need to heal- time in nature, social time, exercising, and slowing down. I usually combine nature and exercise by doing a lot of aimless walking.

Unfortunately the Love and Rockets cosplays are virtually indistinguishable from the average indie show-goer's wardrobe

I actually think doing stuff that it's okay to be looser with like painting with your left hand leads to a more satisfying result! Inking with your non dominant hand is definitely hard mode

I don't know what poop transplants do but I just know if I got one it would fix me

I was actually shocked how relatively tame the JKR scene was too. The way they go on about it you'd think you went into graphic detail about her getting torn limb from limb???

Absolutely. The definition of what looks cheap culturally shifts and changes contextually and the context of AI will continue to keep ot feeling cheap.
