Seriously, there are non-political Groups on DU. Cooking & Baking. Backyard Chickens. Photography. Dozens and dozens of them. If you can't stay away from DU, at least stay away from the front pages for a month or longer.

Find music. Here's a start.

Watch something funny on tv. Take a long walk. Get a good nights sleep. We need you in the resistance and we all get beyond exhausted...it’s okay to check out for a while.

If general, your limbic system is stuck in overdrive. Disconnect and do something that focuses you and matters to you. The situation is not going to hurt you right now and we can drive while you sleep.

...that were the problem.

If it's about Eric Gardner -- well, it was a little opaque, that's all.

It was horrific and I don’t understand why they aren’t in jail. I hope the civil suit is successful.
