I’m struggling with getting sucked into doomscrolling. All I can do is try and take a break and think about something else.

Useful hobbies. Practice gardening for if it ever comes down to subsistence farming, and art skills to trade for rations in gulag /j

But no. I’m grateful to be housed and be able to have my pet, that’s what I’m holding on to

my uncle found playing the violin a useful skill in the concentration camp as musicians would play for their captors and the red cross

i'm not joking

It would have been a comfort for him and everyone around him. I’m sorry for my tasteless joke.
