but I find it really depressing that It's spread EVERYWHERE, on every bit of space that could be more fun. I don't want to be sad when

I come to the internet to escape.

I feel you, anon. 8(

I get torn because I don't want to look clueless about current affairs, but at the same time the news does nothing but depress me.

agrees. I can but some people just beat it into the ground. I don't wanna see it everywhere all the time

So mute it and move on.

does mute them here, but this isn't the only place I'm talking about.

a lot less... helpful and inclined to listen the 15th time around.

and really "Mute it and move on" is a bit harsh and kind of judgmental considering the purpose of plurk secrets.

Sorry I'm not too sympathetic to way the social activism is ruining your escapist fun time.

then you should follow your own advice and ignore it and move on, not be rude to me.

never rude on those messages, which is why I'm mentioning it here.

Keh, you're right. This really wasn't called for.

sorry if this is something I've been a part of...I know I find it helpful to talk about it...

and I use social media as a way of spreading the word in case anyone wants to join the fight...not as a means of venting necessarily

does feel better after venting about it...but it's probably the best tool out there...as someone who partly relied on it for my job
