Hopescrolling

On August 19 of last year, I wrote about Fix the News, an antidote to the "doomscrolling" behavior that today's headlines encourage. 

They're still out there with a weekly helping of meaningful good news. I ran across some research on why "hopescrolling" is actually, specifically, good for you. Read the article on Zócalo Public Square (a journalism unit of Arizona State University). Just as long as you keep in mind that yes, there's still a senile pedophile-protector in the White House, loudly naming things after himself while masked ICE thugs murder American citizens. But in spite of that, some of the news is good.
