<p>To avoid some of the negative aspects of doomscrolling, avoid clicking on headlines that include words like may, might, could, possibly, projected to, etc. This isn't <a href="/tags/news/" rel="tag">#news</a>, it's speculation, less facts and more guesswork... a lot like <a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#AI</a>. And of course it's filled with worst case scenarios to keep us clicking. Modern <a href="/tags/media/" rel="tag">#media</a> profits from spreading misery, so be sure to remember that unimaginable things like <a href="/tags/peace/" rel="tag">#peace</a> and love are always always always possible.</p>

This blog mostly features my adorable cats, Joey and Sheena. Thank you for occasionally indulging me when I post non-feline things.</p><p>I just published my novel, Water Dogs. It's the best book about midwestern teens from the 1970s discovering punk rock and saving the universe that I've ever written. Please buy lots of copies from Barnes & Noble (or Amazon).</p>

<p>Nothing better than lying on the bed resting and hearing my wife and son rave away happily on some topic in another language, while the other child is making the piano come alive with classical music. The kids are both around 30 now, so moments like this are rare and need to be treasured.</p><p><a href="/tags/family/" rel="tag">#family</a> <a href="/tags/children/" rel="tag">#children</a> <a href="/tags/peace/" rel="tag">#peace</a></p>

<p>“Community responsibility, when it is managed well, results in peace. And peace benefits everyone. Taking care of someone or something to which you are not immediately genetically related pays you back in other dimensions, and the payback is part of your wellbeing. Compassion is useful and beneficial for all.” ~ Katy Payne </p><p><a href="/tags/quote/" rel="tag">#quote</a> <a href="/tags/peace/" rel="tag">#peace</a> <a href="/tags/compassion/" rel="tag">#compassion</a> <a href="/tags/milkweed/" rel="tag">#milkweed</a></p>
