News Sh!t

This week, we discussed some major newsworthy events that took place while we were on our break. It isn’t very often that I get to hear about things going on in the news and that is entirely by choice. It is a decision I made many years ago for my mental wellbeing. I revisit this resolution from time to time but every few years, when I switch on the news for a couple of days, trying out different channels, I still see the same thing: a flagrant misuse of the platform, a conscious focus on the negative and sensational, and a near-complete absence of anything positive.

Good things are happening in your community and around the world every day. For me, I like to look at those things, rather than a curated product that, quite frankly, I’ve never found to be unbiased regardless of the source. I identify as much more liberal but I’d like to just have the facts when it comes to what is happening out there. I did enjoy talking with my husband about the goings on across this great globe of ours…but I think it will a while before I hit the newsstand again :)
