one thing I'm gone do is treat every piece of news I read like a potential current events report. one of my least favorite kinds of 4th grade assignments, but you know what? you learn something even from shit you don't like, if you let yourself. it's just data. it needs context. why does it matter? to whom? and how? can you see why your classmates' articles mattered to them? can you empathize once you have that extra information to make the data fit like a puzzle piece into your world?

#not to hype up social studies bc i hated social studies but ykw? it still has value #everybody's got something that matters to them that you have no concept of #that doesn't make the unseen thing unimportant #that's why nihilism is so self centered. it's main character syndrome. it's no object permanence. #it's if i close my eyes whatever happens next doesn't matter. it's if a tree falls in the woods without me hearing it didn't make a sound. #basically: it's a patently false & ridiculously egotistical + selfish ideology. ''nkthing matters.'' ok. TO YOU. now fuck off. #newsflash asshole! everybody's been real people & everything's been real on earth the whole time! whether you choose to care or not! #9yos have more sense than this and i was still falling off the monkey bars & picking daisies by the river at that age. grow the fuck up.
