Dan Q<p>Some of my friends have just given up on following the <a href="https://m.danq.me/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>news</span></a>, and I don't blame them. It can be pretty depressing right now.</p><p>But for me, what keeps me up-to-date-enough but stops me <a href="https://m.danq.me/tags/doomScrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doomScrolling</span></a> is to lean on my good old <a href="https://m.danq.me/tags/feedReader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>feedReader</span></a> (coupled with a little discipline to not glance at the news every time I remember my phone's in my pocket)!</p><p>I read the news once, maybe twice, most days, as a bundled digest of mildly-filtered articles. Like taking the time to sit down with a newspaper... but no other interruptions.</p><p>It keeps me optimistic enough that I can still focus on the causes I care about the most, without getting bogged down in all the depressing news about nazis burning the world that I'd see otherwise. Highly recommended.</p><p>🔗 More: <a href="https://danq.me/feed-readers-beat-doomscrolling" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">danq.me/feed-readers-beat-doom</span><span class="invisible">scrolling</span></a></p>
