#doomscrolling

I occasionally post #ThreeGoodThings - others do it daily! 1/ My design for a 3D printed motorised chassis for an #NGauge BR670 #DoppelStockSchienenBus has evolved to the point where it will actually go round my layout. [b] Seeing other people post about enjoyable things they've done (hi Tom) has brought a bit of joy into my #DoomScrolling. iii) A couple of bright sunny days have relieved the dull weather we've been having round here.

If you need a time out from yucky reality (with lots of posts about less yucky reality, some quite lovely hopeful bits, really) this is your random reminder I have a @joybooster@beige.party acct where I lurk and wordlessly boost shit that make me happy. Fair warning, shit that makes me happy may include: Bad puns Bee butts Benevolent shit disturbing Feel free to reply with shit that makes you happy, if it's got alt text I'll boost it. #doomscrolling #timelineCleanse

You can still register for the Ready and Resilient Hour, happening tonight at 8:00 p.m. Eastern and 5:00 p.m. Pacific. If you're looking to shed some of the #doomscrolling and the weight of the work week, we get together online once a month for a guided #practice in preparing for what the #2020s are serving up. It's like yoga, but but for your #survival kit. #posts #3goodthings #ReadyAndResilient #ThreeGoodThings #garden #grateful #lifeisgood #wednesdayvibes

The Twilight of Literacy…? I swear, I know what the word doomscrolling means. After all, it’s been around since the twenty-teens, and was added to dictionaries several years ago now. I’ve regularly used the term, even in essays here on WU. I thought I had a pretty good grasp of what doomscrolling felt like. But I’ve noticed something lately. Something scary. My own scrolling sessions have grown darker and more enthralling. And longer. Worse, I’m pretty sure the change is exactly what the platforms are designed to engender. Coming away from these sessions feels like emerging from a daze. I feel fraught, even physically agitated. I haven’t measured my post-scrolling heartrate or blood pressure, but I’m certain they are affected. So why am I partaking? https://writerunboxed.com/2026/02/25/the-twilight-of-literacy/ #REALWORLD #Declineinliteracy #Doomscrolling #Readingandmentalhealth #Writerssupportingliteracy
