Reducing my exposure to political posts is taking care with my sensory intake

why/how

As part of my mental management in recent years I pay careful attention to what goes in my brain. I do not permit careless blatherers to have access to my brain. This prohibition excludes most news organizations, commercial speech, hype for clicks, pointless arguers, Republicans, etc. Many good folks use social media for emotional venting. I certainly do. I'm rearranging what shows in my feeds so that I get what I want to see. For me, I don't have time to read and learn what improves my soul if I'm breathlessly following every bad thing done by the people I already know are very bad.
