As soon as DT won, I knew what I had to do: Disassociate. Already, I’ve found it necessary to take steps to filter my news - even just hearing about his Cabinet picks is too much. So today I:
1) updated my Apple News app to only show stories from my specified news sources,
2) moved my NYTimes app to my Home Screen (The Times doesn't have a partnership with Apple, so they can't be included as a specified source),
& 3) explored The Times app to determine the best way to avoid anything DT related.
If you, like me, need to Disassociate to survive the next 4 years, know that doing so is OK. In fact, it is GOOD - mindfulness and attention to your own needs is healthy. If you have any other ideas how to Disassociate, please share!
