Good advice about focus, and I am coping in a similar way. LGBTQ+ rights are already under attack, and if there are ways we can help in that fight please let us know.
As a side note, I just noticed your current profile photo is in Red Rock Canyon State Park. I help lead a geology-focused trip there every year, and love hiking there.
Perfectly said, Casey! I've also been on a news diet since the election and it's definitely helped my emotional well-being. But I know I can't stick my head in the sand. I'm staying on the email lists of organizations for causes I care about and pitching in where I can. It's gonna be another crazy few years but we have the organizations, structures and will in place to keep up the good fight(s).
I'm still working on my "focus blinders" while looking for stories, but so far my big news sites / aggregator links are not nearly getting as much use as they did a few weeks ago. I absolutely want to see how long I can make that last! 😂
