I know there is a lot to doomscroll right now, but you need to plan some sort of offline activity and go do it.
Walking outside, going to a museum, cleaning your home, taking a nap, cooking some food, buying your favorite pastry; lots of options.
It'll feel better than more time on your phone.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.
Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.
Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.
Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

FACT OF THE DAY. 20 September 1973. Billy Jean King defeated former US Open champion Bobby Riggs, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, in what was billed as the “Battle-of-Sexes” Tennis match in Houston, Texas. Riggs had confidently predicted that he would win easily beforehand.
