How to Maintain Mental Hygiene as an Open Source Researcher - bellingcat
Online researchers are often exposed to disturbing content – particularly from warzones like Ukraine. Here are some tips from first hand experience on how to stay safe.
www.bellingcat.com
Bellingcat put out a great article a while back on limiting self-harm from exposure to traumatic media.
No specific examples are given and the article appears to have been written with trigger avoidance in mind, so it should be safe reading for everyone.

Pretty obvious that Tucker Carlson's current play is to position himself as the leader of a new red-brown coalition united by antisemitic conspiracism.

The point isn't "wow, Jacob Rees-Mogg is 'woke' now!" and nobody is handing it to him. The point is "fucking hell, the fash are so far gone that even *Jacob Rees-Mogg* wants to distance himself from their noxious rhetoric!"
Not Fucking Sorry but i actually do not plan to narrow the tent on who is allowed to loudly say that the neofascists are wrong in their definition of national identity at this juncture and if you are then quite frankly you are a wrecker

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

This is a canary resuscitator, which miners would use to revive canaries that had passed out from toxic gas, because ideally not only do you care, you don't even leave the bird behind.

My top tip: when making guacamole in your liquidiser don’t forget to put the lid on. If you insist on the lid-off method remove your cat from the kitchen. Genuine event and just before one of my first dinner parties.

Certain kinds of smart people tend to have a "sexy apocalypse" problem when it comes to thinking about risk. E.g. skynet turning everyone in paperclips, while bad, is also *kind of cool and fun* at the same time. Where the reality is that most actual disasters are both stupid and disappointing.
