General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: How is Everyone Here Coping? I'm find it very hard these days.. [View all]1. I stay completely away from tv and radio "news" and talk shows. I have for 12 years now.
2. I read newspapers; scan headlines, zero in on what I want to know more about.
3. I listen to music that moves me. Oddly enough, I'll get a song stuck in my head and listen to it many times a day for a week, or two, or three...until the next song gets stuck.
4. I read copiously. Mostly fiction.
5. I turn off the phone when I get home.
6. I do my best to spend one of my weekend days at home alone, never leaving or interacting with others.
7. I hang out in the barn and listen to horses munch.
8. I play with my grandson.
Community here? There are still people that I can relate to, to one degree or another. It's not a haven, by any means. There are too many neoliberals, too many party enforcers, to find sanctuary. I don't express 10% of what I think or what I do here at DU.
