Thinking of looking into a print news subscription... trying to find ways to stop the doomscroll while staying informed.

Toddler doesn't want to eat her lasagna → I get to eat more lasagna

Toddler wants last night's pasta but throws a tantrum when I tell her to eat it → I get to eat even more pasta

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
