 You do not have to scroll social media. You do not have to watch rolling news. Keeping up with news is not the same as mainlining it and wallowing in it. You can see the stats and results later. Watching constantly won’t affect the outcome. If you’re struggling Please take a break and do something nice for yourself.

 @mattgrayyes This is the kind of post that makes me miss the high level of toxicity on Twitter. 😁 People living in the UK! You have until just before midnight tonight to register to vote.

@mattgrayyes You can't vote if you're under 18, only register, but it's still something worth doing! > British citizens living abroad! This is true, but then your local council (Sunderland) will write to you and tell you that your vote will be sent from the UK “around” the 26th June, and that it has to be back by the 22:00 4th July or it doesn’t count. That’s 6 working days. For a non-express letter to get from the UK, to anywhere (Australia), and back. Good luck with that.  @mattgrayyes I don’t hecking know where my UK passport is, and I left England as a teenager (see I’ve even taken on the Canadianism of referring to the constituent countries!), otherwise I would consider it Releasing videos to a schedule is one thing, but releasing videos to a weekly schedule non-stop for a decade is something else entirely.

@mattgrayyes usually it's Youtube itself shoving these videos into my timeline. This time it felt just right to be notified by one of his companions on his journey about the last one. I'll raise my glass to Tom as well and thank you for all the fun you brought to me as well in all these years!

@mattgrayyes it's like that feeling when you write a huge chunk of complex code... Run it... And it just works. I'm paranoid enough though to not believe it just worked.  |

@mattgrayyes I have this overwhelming feeling of dread and shame in my chest I can’t shake. It’ll subside in a couple days, maybe a week or so I hope, but right now nothing is working to distract me. I need to remind myself that we can’t give up, we must keep up the pressure to see the change we want, but the hopelessness right now for me is deafening.
Last week I have been very offline, and I have never felt so good in the past five years.
Computers are great and the Internet is a brilliant invention, but damn they can be overwhelming.
@mattgrayyes
@mattgrayyes well said. There is just too much of everything. Just too much. It'll be there to consume when we're all ready for it
