I have no interest in you or your politicians. None. Go post on the trump thread that's what it's for.
I'm as classy as they come cheers. Good day

Naturally, we all want to DO something, but most of us haven't figured out exactly what that looks like yet, so in the meantime, most of us are more focused on coping. So let's talk about the things you do to keep or get yourself centered.Back in the early 1980's, I worked at a college bookstore with a young man named Scott who had a very effective method for blowing off steam. Just outside the store, there was a mailbox (remember mailboxes?). When things really got to Scott, he would go out and open the mailbox shoot, stick his head inside, and holler at the top of his lungs. It worked like a charm. He came back to work with a smile on his face. So as his empathetic boss (rush was a bitch!), I encouraged this behavior. What Scott did looked something like this very crude drawing I included in one of my books (it was drawn spontaneously at that time, so I just kept it and never polished it up).I highly recommend this therapy but I know it's no longer available to most of us (personally, I medicate with music). So what things do you do to ease the tension of crazy tough times?
edit this post of yours ss well.

I still read the news to some extent because I don't want to be ignorant about what is happening in the world, but I find that TV news/video has a much stronger effect on mental health and emotions than print news, which is why I now avoid it altogether, especially when it comes to Trump doing or saying anything. I can't tolerate his face or voice, so I avoid it completely so that I have less irritation in my life. Same goes for the talking heads on the TV who defend Trump or spread his propaganda. I can't watch that, or listen to people try to debate with them without feeling too angry and frustrated. Same goes for pretty much all political coverage on the TV actually, in Canada too, including local politics. It's just too annoying to view anymore.

I said earlier that I spend a lot of time outdoors.
Breathing the fresh air and seeing the mountains on a daily basis makes all the bullshit and shitheads who support the bullshit seem inconsequential.
Yesterday I got to see some great sights...

unless its about his family structure being taken away or similar he mentions family life that feels relatable with 2 young children and the odd offhand way one would mention a spouse. I dont see the issue personally.

Take a day off from here and contemplate what you can do in the coming years to restore the freedom and democracy that is about to be snatched from our hands. We can't stop what has happened. We can only go forward.

You nailed it as far as I go with this Political shit.
But, I was alright the last 4 years and the previous 4 years so I won't lose any sleep.Post edited by cutz on0 -
