Yeah, it seriously takes a toll. Living in FL and trying to keep up with it all left me at a point where it was hard to get out of bed each day.

I hope you stay strong. Outside of terrible news I've had to take breaks from lemmy because of the "Floridians deserve this" sentiment I've seen around a lot.

It really takes a huge toll and wears you down keeping up with it, I've found myself having to take breaks so I don't get into a very doomed feeling mindset

We need media dedicated to positive trans news. Happiness! Uplifting each other! Allowing ourselves to forget for one minute that there is bad stuff out there!

At this point, it's just "the news cycle"; no need to add on anti-trans.

Reading the news in general is just sadness
