You read my mind! This is exactly the discussion I’ve been having in my own head the last few weeks. I appreciate your perspective very much and also found a zippered pocket inside my jacket for my iPhone! I hope we all find the strength and clarity to keep our country stable and strong.
Good for you! Just this morning, I decided to delete my FB app for the same reason. And while drinking my coffee, instead of scrolling through my feed, which has been taken over by ads and posts from people I never chose to follow, i read a chapter in a book and a few interesting articles in the Atlantic. What a relief. I, too, am trying to figure out how to stay in touch without having to watch the chaos unfold.
I still wear my Apple Watch, but after a lifetime of being a news junkie, I have not watched more than 10 minutes of TV news since election night. I still read the NYT, Washington Post, WSJ and local news sources daily on my iPad, but I have found that my mental health is much improved since foreswearing TV news. I want to stay with this new habit. But I need to avoid the danger of disaffiliation with important causes.
