Honestly, the Russian invasion of Ukraine was probably the last major news event I actually paid significant attention to. The constant firehose of bad news has made me pretty apathetic. Even serious events - ones that aren’t minor at all - just end up feeling like yet another distant dumpster fire I have no control over. So I scroll past them and get on with my life. The world was supposed to have ended already - yet here we are. I just can’t bring myself to feel that sense of urgency anymore, unless it’s something as immediate and personal as Russia trying to invade my country next.
I got obsessed with that too, it was terrifying and awful. So many people killed so brutally and you know he won't stop at that if he has a choice. I bought a wind up radio and at one point was so anxious I was taking a rucksack with the radio, clothes and food into work.
