First off, congratulations on your accomplishments with Promised Memories! Every chapter you complete is worthy of celebration as you add them to what you've already completed... and WOW, 100 chapters? Now THAT'S commitment! 😀
I hear you on climate change, over here in California the weather is already showing signs of going back to summer-level heat. I'm worried about it, because last year's summer was so hot that I recall almost fainting twice -- or at least, that's what it felt like. I think the cumulative grief from the people I lost that same year also had a part to play in my feeling extremely fatigued. One thing is for sure -- it was a scary experience.
As for the news, yeah -- DEFINITELY avoid the news. At this point most news sources are confirming to the right wing narrative now; I recently learned that Joe Biden had been diagnosed with prostate cancer -- one of my uncles passed away from prostate cancer last December, so the news hits personal for me. But to also learn that CNN's Jake Tapper just released a book revealing the so-called "Biden cover up" just days before the diagnosis... it proves that mainstream news media has been compromised. Not one of those networks is brave enough to report on the obvious mental depravity of The Other Guy because they think he's good for keeping paranoid and glued to their sets, which means big $$$. Americans are angry that their lives are being turned inside out and nobody's standing up for them, and the powers-that-be are willfully ignoring them. News reporting won't solve their problems -- it'll keep them paralyzed. But the silence over the REAL mentally deprived Other Guy's uncaring and sadistic plundering of the country is damning.
Joe Biden had a saying: "Silence is complicity." And now the news media is starting to choose that same silence out of fear of retribution. It's not worth anyone's time anymore.
