the cavalcade of stupidities

In this cavalcade of bad news I keep trying to take quiet moments, to check in with myself.
Am I over-consuming? Getting worked up about things I can't control?
Where can I take direct steps to help, mitigate, assist?
And how can I take care of myself and those I care about?

If it feels like a lot of tough questions, welcome to 2025.

Memes help. Dumb videos. I stop and pet dogs anytime I can.
