The Doomscroll! / by John Wineberg

Taos Pueblo, NM

I had heard the term but didn’t really know what it meant. I learned recently that it is the late night habit of scrolling through the, nearly endless, stream of bad news that is available on social media or other online locations. With everything that is going on lately it is easier and easier to fall into the pit of despair that is our online experience. This post is about the exact opposite of that. I have something to ask of you.

It will probably only take a few minutes of your time and a little of your good will. I ask that you find a creator that you love online, it can be a photographer, videographer, artist or anyone else that is creating content that makes you smile, that brings joy into your life. When you decide who that is, go to one of their posts and like and comment on it. Tell them how it makes you feel, why you love their work or other kind words. It will make their day. I also ask that it not be me. While I would appreciate the kind words, this post isn’t about me. This post is about all of those creators that may never hear from people, or may need a lift today because they were doomscrolling themselves. Spread a little love across the beautiful part of this amazing technology!

Until Tomorrow,

John
