my dad isn't on any social media that I know of. I asked him if he heard about any of the latest fearmongering, he had no clue. lesson in there.
Ugh. I opened TikTok tonight just wanting to turn my brain off for a little while and doomscroll. Instead, I’m getting video after video about the power grid being attacked, society collapsing, and all the shit I apparently need to buy to survive the end of the world.
I’m just so fucking tired.
I don’t want to live in a constant state of fear. I don’t want to feel like something terrible is always right around the corner. And I hate that I can’t even escape for a few minutes without someone trying to scare me into buying something.
I don’t know if it’s the algorithms, fearmongering, or something more intentional, but it genuinely feels like we’re being conditioned to expect the worst all the time.
I’m exhausted by it. I just want to exist without being reminded of every possible way the world could fall apart. And stop trying to sell me shit.
