I find that many people take things that should be fun way too seriously, be they fantasy football, video games, sci-fi fandoms, or whatever.
For those who follow me on Twitter, you know that my timeline of late has been a dire place largely; I’m worried about a lot of things, and the content I post and retweet reflects that. The other day, however, I realized that I just needed to log off of the internet, stop the “doom scrolling,” and put on my favorite movie, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. I chilled on my couch, stopped agonizing over society and spreadsheets for a few hours, and enjoyed my time.
