I have work I need to do but I find myself scrolling here and on reddit-logo for hours at a time. It feels paralyzing but also its hard to stop. Not like reading about Lolitics* makes me feel good so why am I addicted to it 🙃

  • I was gonna correct that but it works. LOLitics, because everything is fucked so hard you just gotta laugh...

Find a comic or manga website. Find a story you like. When you pick up your phone to doomscroll, read “just one page” first. Congratulations, you are no longer a doomer. You are now a fucking nerd.
